Royal Ransom: a new Mini-Campaign is coming November 17

by Patricia Mazzei on 11/5/2026

Generals,

The princesses of Niroma were merrily on their way to the Old King’s birthday when bandits ambushed their carriage at the edge of the forest. And now the bandits have the audacity to send a ransom note to the castle. Needless to say, we don’t negotiate with criminals!

Gather your forces and follow the bandits’ trail deep into Hushwood, all the way to their hidden camp. A familiar face is waiting for you there, younger than you remember and already very fond of other people’s gold. Before he was the most wanted man in Linirea, the Kingpin was already making a name for himself. Watch your pockets generals, the bandits are coming!
