The Seven Sins
No one is perfect. All mortals sin, and all sin feeds the Darker Dream.
In The Harrowing, your strengths and weaknesses are determined by your scores in seven deadly sins. Each sin is associated with an action, through which you interact with the game world.
The shift of skin against skin, the beat of heart against heart. Lust is your hunger for connection with others, whether social, romantic, or physical. In The Harrowing, Lust allows you to use the Seduce action to distract and manipulate your adversaries.
In this broken world, life only persists by consuming and destroying other life. Gluttony is your primal desire to devour and to survive. Its associated Feast action heals you from the trauma of the Circles of Hell.
You deserve a few nice things. Hell, you deserve the height of luxury. Your Greed inspires you to have, to hold, and to possess. Greed’s Scavenge action finds you valuable tools and trinkets to aid your descent.
It’s okay. You can rest. Someone else will take care of it. The lethargy you feel is Sloth, your natural inclination to live in the moment and take it easy. With Sloth, you can use the Wander action to navigate the depths of the Underdream.
They deserve to burn for what they did to you. That’s your Wrath speaking, filling you with a dark joy when your enemies come to harm. This righteous rage fuels the Fight action, laying waste to the adversaries that stand in your way.
You’ve had it rough, and you deserve just as much as everyone else, if not more. Your Envy helps you recognize how much you’re actually suffering, even if no one else does. With the Snatch action, you can use your Envy to “borrow” items from other players.
No matter what happens, you will not turn back. Your Pride keeps you committed to this dark path you have chosen. With Pride, you Explore ever deeper, discovering new and horrific corners of Hell.
