Card Dividers
Place the card dividers in the appropriate places in the card boxes and trays. They will help you find cards more easily.
There is one "Extra Content" divider of each size. Cards from expansions may be placed behind these dividers, or placed with similar cards from the base game as you see fit.
New Event Cards
When setting up the City Event deck for your Campaign (see Book 1, the Campaign Book, page 20), add City Event cards 033 and 036.
Similarly, when setting up the World Event deck, add World Event cards 033 and 036.
Note: If you have the Promo Event cards from the original Kickstarter (numbered 033: Gaming Den and Man Versus Figurine), make sure not to add a second copy of those Event cards.
If you are not playing the Hero Garuk in your campaign, add City Event card 037 to the City Event deck.
Ravenous Guivren Board
During the setup of each City phase, place the Ravenous Guivren board next to the City map. From level 2 onwards, place a standee on the Ravenous Guivren board for each Henchman available to be hired at the Ravenous Guivren's Hire Henchman service.
During the City phase, if a Hero pays for the Rent a Room service at the Ravenous Guivren, place their Hero miniature on the Ravenous Guivren board to show they will not be getting the Disturbed Sleep penalty at the end of that City phase. This also allows the Hero to use the "A Night at the Guivren" service shown on the Ravenous Guivren board.
Service: A Night at the Guivren
The bard plays his lute, people are laughing and swapping stories, and the tasty wines put everyone in a good mood. An evening at The Ravenous Guivren is once again a pleasant way to end a hard day.
A Hero must have their Hero miniature on the Ravenous Guivren board to use this service. You may only use this service once during each City phase, but more than one Hero may use it at the same time. Each Hero using the service must spend a City Activity point and you roll the Counter die once and apply the same result to each of those Heroes.
The table showing the results is on page 8. Only read the result for your roll so as not to spoil the surprise of the other results.
New Profession: Aoxcraft
A new profession is available to choose from level 2 onwards. It follows the normal rules for professions except that it is not shown in the Campaign book at a specific location. Note that there are 2 Master Talent cards for the Aoxcraft profession. You may gain both.
Aoxcraft Talents may only be used during the City step.
Profession: Aoxcraft
Among the many traders and merchants in Runedale there are sellers of curios and knick-knacks. Occasionally you notice an item for sale that has a faint aura of Aox around it. You doubt the seller knows. It could be useful to someone interested in the sciences to help them unlock the demonic mysteries of Aoxcraft. The curios are cheap enough to buy, but learning the craft has other costs.
- City Activity point + suffer 3 damage » Gain the Aoxcraft Profession card
From level 3 onwards, if you have learned all 5 basic Aoxcraft Talents, you may:
- City Activity point + suffer 3 damage » Gain an Aoxcraft Master Talent card

New Henchmen
When you reach level 2, shuffle the 4 new Henchman cards together with the 8 Henchman cards from the base game to create the Henchman deck. This deck now consists of 12 cards rather than 8.
Starting at level 2, when you visit the Ravenous Guivren's Hire Henchman service for the first time at each level, reveal the top 3 Henchman cards instead of the top 2.
Each Henchman now has their own Henchman standee you may use to represent them instead of the red Henchman token from the base game.
The Henchmen in this expansion have their short background story on page 7 of this book (shown by [K2] on their card).

Lok Torr Door Token

- Scenario 16A: Above area [A].
- Scenario 16B: Above area [J].
- Scenario 16C: Above the 2 middle areas at the far end of the hall.

A Night at the Guivren Table
Where an entry says "Each Hero", it applies only to the Heroes using this service. Do not read any entries in the following table until instructed to do so.
Each entry shows its result number, then the result name. Symbols shown on the sheet are given in brackets (see the Table of Contents note).
0 » Ambush
You are sitting quietly at your table going through your future plans when you are ambushed by a group of hoodlums. You manage to push them away and get to your feet.

You are left wondering who was behind the attack.

Some drunken patrons are trying to pick a fight, so Leon the bouncer orders them to leave.

- Each Hero: [stamina symbol] 3 [ability symbol] (reactive ability check to reduce stamina loss)
2 » Hail Hur-Ishtanim!
A mysterious hooded stranger is sitting alone, mumbling to themselves. They keep staring into the dark corners of the ceiling and are nursing a drink that they have not yet touched. Suddenly they get up and yell at the top of their lungs: "Hur-Ishtanim sees all."
