Altar Quest: Ruins of Arkenspire

About this expansion

Altar Quest: Ruins of Arkenspire is a 2020 expansion for 1–4 players, with play sessions lasting about 90 minutes. It takes heroes into the accursed ruins of Arkenspire, the broken tower that once served as the seat of power for the lich-born Szera the Doomchild.

In the heart of Aridika, the region of Nethermoor is under the control of the Profaned, a legion of undead abominations serving necromantic overlords. As the undead threat spreads toward the surrounding provinces, valiant heroes must push back the assault and confront the dangers gathering around Szera’s ruined fortress.

Arkenspire is tied to a history of prophecy, exile, war, and forbidden necromancy. Once a plague on the Pheran empire, Szera founded her own kingdom after banishment, but the Pheras later blamed her and her burgeoning empire for the destruction of their capital during the earthquake known as the Welcoming.

• Journey to the ruined tower of Arkenspire in Nethermoor.
• Face the Profaned, an undead legion serving necromantic overlords.
• Unlock the secrets of a dedicated story deck.
• Discover mysteries that reach beyond the living dead.

The Phera elders sacrificed themselves to break apart Arkenspire and sever its connection to the Arkenhold, an underworld spiritual prison Szera sought to rule. Their hexes bound her supernatural energies to the soil of Aridika, and the First Four Heroes of Eastony eventually defeated her and sealed her within the tower’s depths.

Now the Doomchild sleeps, but she continues to scheme. Ruins of Arkenspire brings heroes to a place where ancient history, undead armies, and hidden mysteries converge.
