About Sacred Fire: A Role Playing Game
Sacred Fire: A Role Playing Game drops you into a Britain where Roman legions have shattered Hadrian’s Wall. Your urgent task is to reach the stronghold of Dunadd and warn Wid, the only brother you have left, while confronting memories of a difficult father and a mother you struggle to remember.

Story Premise
The opening premise describes Rome’s forces breaching Hadrian’s Wall, forcing the player to travel toward Dunadd, a seat of power, to deliver a warning to Wid, the only remaining family member.
Each decision—whether to protect close ties or pursue a larger empire—acts as a narrative fork, shaping the world’s political landscape and the protagonist’s personal fate.
- Weigh the narrative weight of family ties before committing to large‑scale actions.
- Consider how each choice could alter the political balance presented in the story.
