HOW TO PLAY

You and your friends will take on the leadership of a formerly enslaved fantasy race to lead their Uprising against The Empire while also fighting the Hordes of Chaos.

To win the game every player – and also Chaos and The Empire – collect Victory Points. At the end of the game, if every player individually has more VP than The Empire and Chaos, you all win together.

At the start of your journey, you will choose 1 of 16 different heros from 8 highly asymmetric factions:

krowh-faction
The Krowh

Forgotten Guardians

Scholars suppose that this martial and proud race once served the Ancients as Warriors and Guardians.
mohyar-faction
The Mohyar

Fallen Invaders

Once, the Mohyar themselves came as conquerors to Azuhl and drove the indigenous people into the mountains and forests.
duerkhar-faction
The Duerkhar

Unbending Highlanders

As the Mohyar raided the islands, the Duerkhar retreated into the hostile environment of the great mountain ranges.
druwhn-faction
The Druwhn

Nebulous Wanderers

For ages, the Druwhn roamed the plains and forests of Azuhl as small bands of nomadic hunters and traders.
wave-singers
The Tua Than

Wave Singers

When the oceans froze, the shy Tua Than were abruptly driven from their ancestral home beneath the waves.
renegade-legion
Renegade Legion

Black Brotherhood

Realizing that the Empire could no longer protect her, T'lak took her fate - and that of the Black Legion - into her own hands.
ytuma
The Ytuma

The Last Herd

When cold and chaos overtook the Singing Plains, the last herd began its journey across the frozen sea towards Azuhl.
shadow-striders
The Hokqan

Shadow Striders

When The Curse struck, the Hokqan abandoned their crusade against the Krowh to face a new enemy.
