What It Is

Warbands Under a Black Sky

Black Oaths follows oath-bound warbands into fights where saints, ravens, relics, and old powers all press on the same ground. It is a game of named fighters, lasting injuries, and battles that read like a saga page.

The rules are being shaped around dangerous choices, clear table movement, narrative campaign hooks, and the pleasure of putting a painted warband under pressure.
