Vile sorcery has transformed the emblem of the immortal phoenix, which broods forever over the tomb of Epemitreus, into an encircling serpent, causing darkness to fall across the civilized kingdoms.
The once pure idols of Holy Mitra have been animated and bent to the evil will of the serpent god, Set. Hundreds of priests and worshipers fell to these monstrous statues.
After escaping one such attack while worshiping, the Nemedian priestess Octavia received a vision from Mitra, telling her to venture to the black heart of Mount Golamira and slay the avatar of the corrupted idol and the sorcerer whose magic keeps it alive. Calling on her friend Conan and a few allies, Octavia now makes hates to Aquilonia to halt the effects of the spell before the dark magic of a lunar eclipse renders the spell permanent.

Special Rules
Altars: A Hero holding
the Stygian Artifact in an area with an altar token
may attempt a
complex Manipulation with a difficulty of 1 to destroy the altar. Place the token
on the Manifestation of Mitra’s tile. For each token on the Manifestation of Mitra,
reduce its Armor by 2.
Doors (Heroes): All doors require a complex Manipulation with a difficulty of 2 (or Wall Wrecker) to open.
Doors (Overlord): All doors require one additional movement point to move through. Do not remove the door.
Poison: When attacked by a Deep One,
instead of suffering damage as usual, a Hero must place a number of poison
tokens 
equal to the amount of damage on the Melee Attack or the Move space
of their Hero’s sheet. Each poison on an action space reduces by 1 the exertion
limit of that action. When both exertion limits are reduced to zero, that
Hero immediately dies. If additional poison tokens are needed, you can use
any other token to represent them.
Life Potions: When consuming a life Potion, the Hero may choose to either remove all poison tokens on their Hero sheet or recover gems as usual.
Game Bord Rules: Standard game board rules apply.
Chests: Chests require a complex Manipulation with a difficulty of 1 to open. The asset deck contains: Khitan Staff, Heavy Spear, Crossbow, Life Potion.
