The Forest of Davokar trembles as darkness spreads its suffocating embrace.

Symbaroum: Davokar Awakens, the sixth installment of this enthralling saga, promises to push adventurers to their limits. Whether experienced as standalone adventures or woven together into a grand campaign, these episodes will test the mettle of all who dare face the darkness.

Renowned artists Martin Grip (The One Ring™ RPG, Blade Runner RPG, ALIEN RPG) and Gustaf Ekelund (Coriolis, Twilight: 2000, ALIEN RPG) have masterfully crafted the captivating art for Davokar Awakens. Game writer Mattias Johnsson Haake, co-creator of Symbaroum, lends his expertise to the adventure’s design.
