“Moonlight drowns out all but the brightest stars.”
— J.R.R. Tolkien

In a quiet tidal pool, by a cold dark shore, the spirits of drowned women await mortal petitioners who will accept their gifts.

Rusalka is still in progress and we were honored that the designer, Nick Wedig, allowed us to share a game with our listeners. Go check out his work at his Teapot Games site.

The Map: 

To the South is the Shore. To the North East the Village. A row of scarecrows draped in the skin of flayed sailors stands between the pool and the Village.
On the NW side of the pond is a pool with some jewelry sunken into the bottom. On the north bank is the entrance to a hole where women and girls leave offerings. The ocean threatens to erode the walls and open the pool to the sea to the SE.

The Characters:

Ruslana (Zelma Elm) – An aspect of mists, she wears a veil that clings to her face.

Henka (Ken Breese) – An aspect of tides, she is scaled and has a wide shark-toothed smile.

Natalka (Iris Explosion) – An aspect of reflection, she stands nude in the water, her eyes are mirrors.

Eyesh (John Holt) – An aspect of ghosts, her white hair tangles in the rotting lace of her dress.
