Blades in the Dark

The city of Duskreach is a soot-drowned hell of flickering gaslamps, stalled carriages, electric revenants, and ghost-choked alleyways. A colossal lightning barrier hums against the mists, but inside the walls, crime is the only economy that works. The gods are dead. The ghosts are hungry. The factions are at war. And the System has finally taken notice. Every ghost you disturb destabilizes the Spirit Layer, increasing supernatural anomalies. Every turf war you cause shifts faction standings city-wide. Downtime isn’t safe either—training, indulging vice, managing Heat, building contraband assets, repairing gear, and binding hungry spirits all carry risks and rewards.
