''A Sword-and-Sorcery Setting of Jungles, Ruins, River Kingdoms, and Ancient Dread''

''Nightcats'' is a world of steaming jungles, half-buried cities, forgotten gods, venomous courts, savage rivers, and old stones that remember too much. It is a setting of desperate expeditions, moonlit blades, painted idols, crumbling temples, and ancient evils that sleep lightly beneath the roots of the world.

Heroes in ''Nightcats'' are not wandering farm boys or chosen ones. They are thieves, scouts, mercenaries, hunters, dancers, caravan guards, pirates, priests, exiles, and tomb-robbers—capable, dangerous people already in motion when play begins.

In Jhelum, civilization clings to riverbanks, jungle roads, and old walls while the green world presses in from every side. Sorcery is feared, the gods are many, and treasure is almost always cursed.
