Contents
- A Threat Booklet
- A Citadel leaflet
- 126 cards bearing a unique ID number (from F1204 to F1329)
Preparing the Cards
Once ready to play this new Threat, prepare its cards in the game box before you start your game. Follow the same guidelines as with cards from the base game, and make sure that for each number, green Adventure cards are placed before any gold Adventure cards.
Also, any light flag Adventure cards must always be placed behind the dark flag Adventure cards of the same color bearing the same number.
The sheet's wording is kept as printed. The base rulebook sorts Blank Flag cards before White Flag cards bearing the same number, which reads the other way round; the sheet does not name its two flag icons, so this sorting point is not resolved here. Sort by the base rulebook's rule if the two readings conflict.
A mysterious invitation
Introduction
Narrative introduction omitted (pages 3-4: Sabell the Link delivers a letter from Gelert Deffer inviting the descendant of Roel Bessit to a meeting in Kel).
Reminder
Certain Adventure cards are linked to this particular scenario. When a numbox ### is associated with this scenario's pictograph (envelope icon), you must take it without looking at the other available Adventure cards.
Goal
Primary: Find evidence of your connection to the deceased nobleman, then travel to Kel to attend the meeting.
Your best chance of finding something linking you to this Roel Bessit seems to lie in an old cemetery to the south of the Citadel. Once you have found something to prove your supposed relation to the Valengarde nobleman, you can travel to Kel to attend the mysterious meeting.
Preparation (you are at the Citadel)

- Each player shuffles their Action Deck and draws 2 cards from it to form their starting hand.
- Return all the "Hope reborn!" Quest cards that are blocked.
- Remember to look up your side quests, the cards in the World Map, and the effects of your built buildings.

Prophet spiders

Each player:
- Returns all of their cards with the keyword TEMPORARY.
- Unblocks all of their Skill cards.
- Shuffles all the cards in their Discard Pile back into their Action Deck.

Goal
Primary: Learn how to stop the ritual.
Talk to the mage Rhyo Kunim, who should be able to tell you about this. He is temporarily located near the great rift, east of Pitdeep.
Primary: Find the location where the prophet spiders will perform their ritual.
Use your influence with certain communities in the Collapsing Lands (scroll icon) to locate the prophet spiders.
Secondary: Recover your strength.
The journey ahead will involve returning to the Citadel from time to time to regain your strength. Each time you return there, you will be asked to banish 1 "Objective" Quest card. If you cannot, you will have failed to prevent the completion of the spider-prophet ritual in time.
Preparation (you are at the Citadel)
- Take the 101, 102, and 103 cards (circle icon each) and a 045 card.
- You may apply the following effect any number of times: If your crown icon score is 5 or higher, crown icon -5 and take a card whose number is equal to the number of a feather icon card where the scroll icon can be seen + 450, if available.
- For this scenario, your groundshiver is level 7.
- Set all life point counters back to 0, then each character receives the following amount of life points, depending on player count: 1 player: 65; 2 players: 30; 3 players: 18; 4 players: 13.
- Each player draws 2 cards from their Action Deck to form their starting hand.
- Each player may unblock some or all of their cards with the keyword COMPANION. For each card unblocked this way, they lose 2 life points.
- Return all the "Hope reborn!" Quest cards that are blocked.
- Remember to look up your side quests, the cards in the World Map, and the effects of your built buildings.
- Put a 075 card into play. If "Kel's Column" can be seen on a feather icon card in the World Map, you may instead put a 238 card into play. Each player places their figure onto it.
Stop reading for now and place the bookmark here. You may save the game as long as the bookmark is here. When you run low on life points, go back to the Citadel, where you can remove the bookmark and read the EPILOGUE.
