An exciting new adventure for Space 1889: After Empyrean Edition by Richard Rohlin!

The Crew is tasked with locating a missing Society explorer, Lady Imogene Hartnell, who vanished while investigating reports of a “Crimson Idol” near Aaru-Besh. However, they soon uncover a growing cult known as the Whispering Flame, and must confront both its alluring ideology and the true nature of the artifact at its center. As the tension mounts, the Crew receives new orders from the Society: seize the idol, eliminate the cult, and silence any resistance.
But Lady Hartnell is no victim, and the
idol is no mere relic. Ancient Phaetonian intelligence
stirs in the dust, offering a seductive vision
of peace at a terrible price.

A core setting guide for mythpunk fantasy roleplaying, written for narrative-first play and compatible with the Principia: The Simple Approach framework, with easy adaptation to other rulesets.

Mythpunk fantasy is set inside living myths that govern daily life. Power moves through gods, oaths, customs, and inherited victories that still sort protection from exposure. Law, labor, and violence carry mythic force because they were shaped long before the characters arrived. Play begins with the assumption that these structures persist, watch for disruption, and respond when crossed. Characters act within systems that expect continuity and react when that continuity is strained.

The defining pressure comes from systems that hold memory. Authority responds to interference through obligation, reputation, and reprisal. Social order tightens access, assigns debt, and redirects blame. Ritual fixes outcomes into place and makes reversal costly. Violence rearranges status and protection rather than settling disputes. Each choice reshapes future conditions, because the world records disturbance and adjusts behavior around it.

This book exists to keep that pressure present and legible at the table. Its use produces sessions where actions carry forward and attention compounds. Interference establishes standing and draws response. Power answers through altered relationships, lost shelter, enforced duty, and narrowing options. Supporting characters remain subject to consequence rather than absorbing it for others. Authority responds through people and institutions. Rebellion becomes sustained effort that consumes time, safety, and trust while binding characters more tightly to the world they’re altering.

Preparation focuses on forces that retain memory and resist collapse. Between sessions, it helps restore stakes when play settles into routine. At the table, it aligns expectations about escalation, fallout, and follow through. Responsibility for consequence circulates across participants, shaping conduct alongside fiction.

The book assumes collaboration built on shared risk. Harm lingers. Victories complicate what follows. Violence reshapes social position and obligation. Myth acts through custom, institution, and enforcement as much as through story. Attention before play begins matters here because this mode of play depends on continuity. What changes remains changed, and everyone at the table accepts the weight of carrying those marks forward once the story is in motion.

A companion to the Mythpunk Fantasy Reference Guide

Harm in the genre of mythpunk fantasy persists as a recorded condition rather than a resolved event. Injury, betrayal, loss, and compromise don’t end when scenes close or attention shifts. Each remains active, shaping how risk is read, how trust is extended, and how response is chosen. The decision this article supports is how players and gamemasters act when past damage still exerts pressure, even when no one seeks apology, justice, or repair. Choice begins from the assumption that harm already exists and will continue to shape outcomes.

Mythpunk fantasy treats consequence as cumulative rather than corrective. Damage alters access, expectation, and behavior simply by remaining present. A history of being harmed changes what feels possible long before anyone names the reason. Acting as though the slate is clean misreads the situation and invites further loss.

This framing shifts interpretation before action at the table. Tension signals residue. The question is how existing harm constrains or pressures the current moment. Decisions made without that awareness tend to compound damage quietly. Decisions made with it trade ease for clarity.

The ledger of inherited harm isn't an object characters consult or discuss openly. It’s the weight behind hesitation, caution, and refusal. It explains why certain options feel costly even when they appear reasonable on the surface. Treating harm as ongoing grounds play in consequence without requiring escalation. Action remains possible, but it’s never unburdened.

The Knight archetype addresses the problem of how force gains legitimacy without dissolving into chaos. Stories and play repeatedly need a figure who believes restraint has limits and that violence must answer to something beyond impulse or survival. The Knight appears when power requires a frame that makes action intelligible, accountable, and socially meaningful. Without that frame, conflict drifts toward either endless escalation or moral uncertainty, leaving groups unable to judge when harm was necessary or when it crossed a line that can’t be defended.

This archetype persists because cultures never escape the tension between protection and authority. Someone must stand between danger and what a community claims to value, while accepting that protection carries cost and judgment. The symbols change across eras and genres, but the pattern holds. The Knight acts under rules that outlast the moment, whether shaped by honor, law, faith, or civic duty. Those rules justify action while restraining it, allowing the archetype to remain portable across fantasy, historical drama, science fiction, and modern settings.

The Knight is a pattern of belief expressed through behavior. Commitment binds even when circumstances shift, and legitimacy comes from answering for outcomes rather than escaping them. Where others withdraw, bargain, or adapt, the Knight believes standing fast creates meaning through accountability. At the core of the archetype sits an unresolved contradiction. The Knight seeks order through force, yet force always threatens to erode the order it defends. Every oath sworn narrows freedom, and every defense risks becoming the reason the next demand must be answered.

In the southern foothills of the Peaks of Datte, lie the lands of the clan of Skamber. This is the southern most of the Olor clans, and characterised by their isolation. For many centuries they have held on to their identity as one of the Olor clans, sternly considering the rivers to the south as the border between them, and the Kings of the South. Yet, the mountains and hills to the north separate them from the other Olor Clans, leaving them a strange outlier between states and clans.
