Description

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 Chaotic familiars into three types, each characterized by a deep bond with their owner: Domestic (Cat, Crow); Wild (Bat); Legendary (Drakeling, Imp).

Each of these Familiars provides valuable help on the battlefield or grants peculiar abilities to its owner, such as the life-drinking of an Imp, or the poisonous spittle of a Drakeling. 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.
