Symbaroum is a grimdark Medieval European Fantasy roleplaying game that originated in Sweden in 2014, becoming such a massive hit in its homeland that it was translated from Swedish to English in 2016. The game-line currently encompasses a dozen hardcover books, along with several support products in the form of card sets, maps and more, with a Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition conversion scheduled for release some time in late 2021 to early 2022.

Setting

Symbaroum is set in the lands of Davokar, an ancient and mysterious forest realm that has overgrown the ruins of the fallen Empire of Symbaroum, which perished centuries ago. These lands have long been guarded by the elves of the Iron Pact, who warn that Symbaroum fell to a force of mystical evil called "Corruption", which still lingers in its ruins, and haunted by goblins, ogres and trolls. But, two decades ago, the Ambrians - a human civilization - were forced to flee their ancestral soil due to a devastating war, and they have settled on the borders and outskirt regions of Davokar. And, naturally, they're not about to just sit around and listen to a bunch of pointy-eared demihumans prattling about unspeakable evil and doom waiting for them all... even if the forest is full of monsters...
