📖 About This Game
The world of Sword & Sorcery is imbued with many mystical secrets, and familiars are but one of these! In this set players can find five intelligent little creatures that are able to create a magical link with their humanoid friends.
The ancient scrolls of the Archmagi classify Lawful familiars into three types, each characterized by a deep bond with their owner: Domestic (Dog); Wild (Boar, Horned Lizard, Owl); Legendary (Pixie).
Each of these Familiars provides valuable help on the battlefield or grants peculiar abilities to its owner, such as the superior sense of smell of a Dog or mystic enchantments of a Pixie. But this deep bond has a downside. When a Familiar dies, its owner suffers a terrible mental shock, which hampers their skills for a time.
This expansion can be used with any Sword & Sorcery Quest or Campaign (Immortal Souls or Ancient Chronicles), by simply shuffling the Familiar cards into the Treasure deck.
