Written in black ashes
Swarming to spell out words
Twisting to make shapes
Aligning to draw maps.
Showing us the way
Whose dangers we knew
Only we didn’t care
You have never seen anything like this!
Forsaken Scriptures is a unique and original collection of word-map written and designed by author Nyhur and compatible with the Mörk Borg role-playing game or other fantasy setting game systems.
The word-maps condense dungeon architecture and descriptions into a single image. A new minimalist approach to your adventures without preparation and a visually striking alternative to traditional dungeon maps.
Through Forsaken Scriptures you will explore eerie and bizarre places, illustrated by Mattia Pinetti, and filled with horrors created by some of the most talented content creators for Mörk Borg.
What are Word-Maps?
Le word-map (literally word-maps) are an extraordinary visual and narrative experiment that condenses a dungeon’s architecture, descriptions, and contents into a single image.
The 15 different maps you will find inside the manual already contain all aspects of the dungeon you are going to explore. The words, which explain the contents of each individual room or corridor, also shape its form, making Forsaken Scriptures an experience you’ve never had before!
