Barbarians of Lemuria (or “BoL” for its fans) is a medieval fantasy roleplaying game set firmly in the Sword & Sorcery genre. Lemuria is a world that has returned to a prehistoric state, a land where man-eating beasts roam unexplored regions, from the massive sea serpents capable of breaking a war galley in two, to the huge dinosaurs that can swallow a mighty warrior whole.

Central to this violent world of steaming jungles, sun-baked deserts and suffocating swamplands are sprawling cities that have managed to develop through long ages marked by wars and cataclysms. Under the shadows of the city walls in Satarla, Lysor and Parsool, other battles are fought—for power, wealth and glory—while hidden away in their high towers, fearsome sorcerers with terrifying powers pursue much more sinister aims.

Scattered around the untamed regions of Lemuria are the ancient ruins of forgotten cities, temples and tombs. These toppled and cracked structures, choked with weeds and undergrowth, hide vast treasures that will undoubtedly tempt any intrepid adventurer who has the courage to explore their shadowed halls and silent corridors.

Lemuria is a place of epic and myth. The feats and deeds of Hrangarth the Blade-Bearer and his descendants have created many sagas. However, Lemuria is a mighty continent, which offers plenty more adventures for heroes eager to inscribe their name in its legends.
