Once upon a time, as far north as north can go, there lived the greatest people that this world will ever see.
Those people 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: Tales of the North is a fairy tale tragedy set after a fairy tale apocolypse, a role-playing game about the trials of the Knights of the Order of the Stars, sworn to protect the remainder of the people from their own Mistake. Written by Ben Lehman, author of Over the Bar, it is being printed in a 108 copy limited edition in the summer of 2005.
Polaris is not yet available for sale, but you can download this preview, which contains some of the background and rules.
