"Among all the people of Calabria, the Doloreaux
are the ones who cling most firmly to the lore of their beginnings.
While much of it can be seen as fantastical, the first rule learned
by scholars is that the fantastic often flowers from some small
seed of truth. It is our task to prune away the hoary growth
of invention to lay bare the roots. I hope that this manuscript
may be said to succeed in doing this." —from Lutara's Path: The Shame And Triumph Of The House Doloreaux by Pyotr the Scribe To outsiders, they appear brutish and stubborn, thinking of nothing but their own interests. To themselves, however, they feel a kinship with the ways of their world and a pity for everyone else who does not share their understanding. The boars of Doloreaux stand defiant against all Noble Houses of Calabria, content to bide their time and gain ground by inches... but ambition stews in the heart of every soldier, and some daring plot cannot be too far off. This supplement for IRONCLAW Gaming System describes House Doloreaux, from their arrival on Calabria to their slow and measured rise to power. Included within are details on Doloreaux lands, from the idyllic peace of Vosges to the bloody battlefields of Lyore, from the nearly-forgotten port of Mortemere to the towering majesty of the capital city of Bruges. This book features new people to meet, new careers to learn, and the ultimate Doloreaux secret of the Blessed Paths, the supernatural power inherent in all living things. For the truly brave, there is also an adventure where a secret from the past results in betrayal and bloodshed.... Can the obstinate Doloreaux be persuaded to put aside their pride to recognize the danger?
