Description: Once upon a time, as far north as north can go, there lived the greatest people that this world will ever see. They are gone now, destroyed just as the world destroys all beautiful things. All that remains are these moments we call memories, moments frozen from the flow of time.

Polaris: Chivalric Tragedy at Utmost North is a game of faerie-tale apocalypse set during the final years of the Northernmost People, just before the remnants of their civilization were swallowed up by their own Mistake.

This is no longer a history; this is not yet a story. This is all that remains. Whatever else is what you make of it.

Polaris has very different rules from most RPGs, which I'll be happy to teach new players.

Yes Description: You've been there and done that, from one side of the Empire to the other, and made friends and enemies in places both high and low. And now it's time to retire, cash out those shares in your beat up Far Trader and head for that lovely garden world tucked away in that quiet sector in out in the Marches. Live out your days on the beach under that big ol' binary star sipping Tauran coolers and surfin' with the aliens...If only it were that simple. There are still debts to be settled and it's going to take one last job, one big score, to pay everyone off and shake all those enemies, and if you've learned anything over the years, it's that in the end there is always a price to be paid.
