Shadows & Swords II: The Blackfyre Bastard is an upcoming roleplay story in the Mythos Unbound collection and sequel to 2023's Shadows & Swords.

It will include an additional prologue and several interludes. It is unique for following three separate character-lines: Kamari's (which includes himself, Egg, and Arecel), Eagan's, and Andaren's (which includes himself and Gatsby's). All interludes are spoken from Gatsby's perspective.

The story follows the events relating to the origins of the Bastard's Rebellion and the fall of Emperor Maximilian.
