The Golden Cage - Russian Firebird Tales

Firebird by R. L. McNulty

A falcon's news sends the Detectives off into the Thrice Ten Lands in search of the legendary Firebird who lives in the Golden Mountains of the Sun. Their journey takes them through the mythical landscapes of Russia, with encounters with Baba Yaga the witch and the dreaded Koschei the Deathless and his skeleton knights. Help comes from unexpected places in the fairy tale realms.

Our art projects for this week will include Secret Keepers and lacquered boxes of treasure stones. The games feature ciphers and riddles with a Russian flare, lots of sneaking through magical forests and flying yarnballs.
