{{work}}

 

Created by Rebecca Sean Borgstrom (now Jenna Katerin Moran), also creator of ''[[Hitherby Dragons]]'', ''Nobilis'' takes the standard [[Tabletop RPG]] and turns it up to 11: your character is an [[Anthropomorphic Personification]] of any concept, from Clocks to Lies, with enough power from the very beginning to conquer a nation, move the stars in their alignments, or even destroy the world... not that destroying the world is generally very useful.

The book is full of short snippets of text written (primarily) by Moran, in a style similar to that of her fiction blog ''[[Hitherby Dragons]]'', giving further detail and flavour to the world in which ''Nobilis'' takes place, which includes such passages as:

Equal parts ''[[The Sandman]]'' and the later, weirder volumes of ''[[His Dark Materials]]'', ''Nobilis'' has attracted a tight-knit cult following that [[Self-Deprecation|apparently like to make long and overly poetic descriptions of it]] whenever possible.
