Symbaroum Resources

Approximate time to read: 4 minutes.   

Symbaroum is a world of dark fantasy published by Järnringen; The Iron Pact looks to support both Game Masters and players entering this dangerous landscape for the first time. Beyond the Core Books and supplements, The Iron Pact offers house rules, alternate and expanding (non-canon) setting material, additional game system and character operations, adventures and encounters, and handy reference material.

You can find a lot of the reference material linked directly below, to help all GMs and players interested in Symbaroum – novices, adepts, and masters. In addition, the list also includes available resources, forums, sites and other goodness from across the Web.

If you have any suggestions or have something to offer yourself, send me more information and a link to oathsworn@theironpact.com

The Iron Pact – Imagery

Pinterest boards are steeped with imagery that I associate with different aspects of Symbaroum; the civilised world, the depths of the great forest, the ruins beneath Davokar, and beyond.

  • Symbaroum: General imagery that either comes from the books or makes me think of the game’s landscape
  • Symbaroum – Dungenesis: The ruins of Symbaroum, now buried beneath the magical ‘scab’ of Davokar
  • Symbaroum – Changeling: Images of the Elven ‘spies’ seeded in families beyond the borders of Davokar
