Back in 2020, MÖRK BORG officially released and won multiple awards at the ENNIE Awards. Since then, Free League Publishing and Stockholm Kartell have been expanding the title with various expansions, such as the recent Heretic and CY_BORG series. Now, they are back with a new IKHON mystery box series featuring ancient god vessels that have the potential to yield great rewards... or great despair.
Forged by the left hand of Nechrubel, bound in cured skin and soot-black wood, the ancient god vessels known as IKHONs are detested by the Two-Headed Basilisks. Wielding their Powers, unfettering the Profane Profound shackled within is a serious heretical crime and whoever may carry these blackened shrines will be forever hunted by the inquisition.
The IKHON mystery box for MÖRK BORG is a gaol keeping four almost-forgotten folk gods at bay; the Bilkherd, the Becklure, the Old Dead, and the dreaded Silkfiend. Those who dare commune with them are promised great rewards. But life and death go hand in hand and too small a sacrifice could be perceived as an insult. This gift could very well be a curse.
Each IKHON mystery box contains:
Boxed set with rules on how to unfetter the Profane Profound.
Four tracts, one for each god-creature, detailing their gifts and punishments.
Written by Pelle Nilsson but torn apart and rebuilt in a stranger, darker form by Fiona Maeve Geist and Jarrett Crader of the MoonRat Conspiracy.
Over 40 full-page illustrations by the masterful Paraguayan artist Samuel Araya, whose oil paintings will bring the Profane Profound to blasphemous life.
MÖRK BORG: IKHON will officially release on February 28th and are available now for pre-order. All pre-orders give early access to a complete PDF is now live in the Free League webshop.
