The Zaharets, a land between the Vori Wastes and the Plains of Aeco, is renowned as the Land of Risings. It is dominated by the rising city-states of Ameena Noani and Sentem, facing each other along the great War Road. The Zaharets has a rich history of powerful civilizations, with beastmen ruins dotting the landscape and the great ruins of the Hulathi and Hannic mansions awaiting those who seek out the Lost Folk. Scars abound from the wars between ruined Keta in the north and Gerwa in the south, and the legends of Muadah still beckon occultists and Jackals who seek to plunder its corrupted ruins. Inspired by the myths, cultures, and history of the Ancient Near East, and by ancient texts such as the Iliad, the Epic of Gilgamesh, and the Old Testament, Jackals is a Sword & Sorcery roleplaying game set in a Fantasy Bronze Age. With mechanics based on the popular OpenQuest system, the game places players in the role of Jackals – adventurers, explorers, sellswords, and scavengers – and sends them out into the peril-filled land of the Zaharets to make their fortune or perhaps fulfill a greater destiny.
