In June 2025 we presented the new Coriolis Mercy of the Icons Bundle featuring English-language ebooks of the epic Mercy of the Icons campaign for Coriolis – The Third Horizon from Free League Publishing. The remote cluster of 36 star systems called the Third Horizon has been ravaged by conflicts among civilizations new and old. The original Horizon settlers, the Firstcome, worship mystic Icons who bestow powers and blessings. Aggressive Zenithian newcomers pursue empire through trade and military power. Meanwhile, faceless Emissaries have emerged from the gas giant Xene to further their own mysterious agenda, while strange beings from the unspeakable Dark Between the Stars work to corrupt everything.
Inspired by Firefly, the Revelation Space novels of Alastair Reynolds, and the Alien films, Coriolis – The Third Horizon is a Year Zero Engine RPG based on Middle Eastern culture and the Arabian Nights, where ancient myth meets high tech. Crew your spacecraft as explorers, mercenaries, traders, or faction agents. Blaze trails across the giant star cluster, locate the ruins of the ancient Portal Builders, spy for many factions, and seek influence high above the jungle planet Kua aboard the majestic Zenithian space station Coriolis. Ultimately a centuries-old conflict will transform Coriolis and the Horizon – and the three-part, 670-page Mercy of the Icons campaign puts your player characters at the center of the Horizon War, where your actions can sway the fates of billions. When the struggle for the Horizon starts, only the Icons themselves, and your own group, know how it will end.
This new Coriolis Mercy of the Icons Bundle had everything you need to join the Horizon War and – if you’re smart and blessed by the Icons – to decide its outcome. There were five titles in our Coriolis Icons Collection (retail value $95) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks, including the prologue adventure The Last Voyage of the Ghazali, a lead-in to the campaign; all three installments of Mercy of the Icons – 1: Emissary Lost, 2: The Last Cyclade, and 3: Wake of the Icons; and the Coriolis: The Third Horizon core rulebook you need to run the campaign.
Three of these titles appeared in the previous Bundle offers Coriolis-Tales From the Loop (November 2018) or Coriolis-Loop 2 (March 2021). The Last Cyclade and Wake of the Icons (total retail value $40) were new to the Bundle of Holding.
