The Continent is a place of danger and wonder in equal measure; those who would travel it do so at great personal risk. While most band together, there have always been those who, through recklessness, abandonment, or plain stubbornness walk their path alone. Whether they do so by choice or not, each of these souls find themselves amongst the Wanderers.
Experience the dangers of the continental jungles through the eyes of some of its most intrepid explorers, cutthroats, and heroes. Witness the wonders of Essence – the powerful, yet dangerously effective magic at the heart of the relics and spells left behind by the Ancients. Grapple with the awe (and sometimes terror) inspiring creatures lurking within these wilds. Survive or perish by your own quick thinking, because the life of a Wanderer rests within their own hands.
Choose one of three Favored to lead your forces:
Ria-jin, Windswept Wanderer
Ria-jin has spent her life at sea: meeting new people, taking in new sights, and seeking something she can’t quite name just beyond the horizon. When her ship crashes on a previously unknown continent full of ancient relics and strange beasts she’s forced to learn how to survive in this new world – quickly. Staying a step ahead of the forces seeking to capture her will require all of her cunning and plenty of luck.
With a Favored ability granting benefits for playing cards during your opponent’s turn, Ria-jin is the perfect pick for players who want to control the tempo and put a wrench in the plans of your enemies.
Silgar, Apex Predator
There’s nothing that Silgar can’t hunt down – people included, for the right price. When he was contracted by a cabal of rich benefactors to hunt down a castaway recently washed ashore on the Continent, it was just another job. But as their cat and mouse chase heats up across the jungles and plains outside Scar City, Silgar begins to thrill at the challenge. Finally, a worthwhile quarry sits before him – let the hunt begin.
Silgar’s battle skill focused Favored ability make him an ideal choice for players who want to go wide, deploy their forces, and overwhelm their opponent with brute strength.
Jeddos, Brother of the Road
The Disciples of St. Saldorus know more about the ancient civilization that inhabited the Continent than anyone – they’ve made studying the relics left behind their life’s work. Jeddos has never been the best Disciple, though, and he’s always been more interested in people than things. On paper, Jeddos is a wandering recruiter for the Order. In truth, though, he spends more time buying trinkets from beggars and teaching farmers how to repair their essence-infused equipment than anything else. But when his path crosses a strange newcomer to the Continent in desperate need of guidance, he’s forced to decide whether it’s time to stop roaming and do something he hasn’t done in a long time – take a stand.
Relics are the name of the game for those using Jeddos as their Favored. Build up your strange devices, use them to augment the strength and abilities of your units, and beat your enemy through technological superiority.
