Table of Contents

Components Shown

The photographed components are the nemesis card, the Burning Kor Movement Mat, the ember tokens and the nemesis tokens, the breach mage mats and breach tokens, the treasure cards (level 2 and 3), the relics and gems, and the spells. The Burning Kor Movement Mat has three ignition points, marked Ignition 1, Ignition 2 and Ignition 3, and a central Gravehold space.

Nemesis: The Burning Kor

Nemesis Card

Unleash: Place two embers on the Burning Kor Movement Mat at a single random ignition point.

Increased Difficulty (60):

Unleash: Place three embers instead of two on the Burning Kor Movement Mat at a single random ignition point.
Rules: Embers move three spaces instead of two.

Additional Rules:

At the start of the nemesis turn, move each ember two spaces along its path, starting with the embers closest to Gravehold.
When an ember would move and cannot, it moves as far as possible and then deals 1 damage to the player or Gravehold in the space it would move into.
Embers are minions and have 1 life.
Consult the Burning Kor player aid for information about damaging embers and movement on the Burning Kor Movement Mat.

Burning Kor Movement Mat

The mat shows a grid of spaces with chevron arrows showing the direction of each ember's path. The three ignition points are marked Ignition 1, Ignition 2 and Ignition 3. Gravehold is the central space. The mat's back side is not shown.
