Legend Instructions 1
This legend takes place on the front side of the game board. The expansions "The Star Shield" and "New Heroes" are necessary.
Prepare all cards of this legend.
- There are 7 copies of card "A3" of which only one random copy is part of the legend card talon. Draw one random copy of card "A3" and sort the legend cards as usual from "A1" on top to "N" on the back.
- There are 9 copies of the card "Dark intentions" of which only one random copy is readied blind besides the game board.
- The other copies of the cards "A3" and "Dark intentions" are removed from play. Further plays of this legend may sport them.
- Shuffle all cards "When Trolls think..." and place the talon besides the game board.
Place all other legend cards also besides the game board.
Note: The cards "Back in the tavern 1 resp. 2", "Gilda remembers 1-4", "The first mead" and "The dressing down" are part of every play of this legend. Of all the other cards only some are used in this play. You are being told, when to read what card during play.
Remove the golden event cards 21 and 30 from play.
Continue reading on legend card "Legend instructions 2".
Legend Instructions 2
General notes on the play and rules:
- Barring other card texts the rules for 5 and 6 heroes are taken from the expansion "New Heroes". Rules on cards for 5 and 6 heroes are valid for these number of heroes.
- The "New Heroes" variants "The Black Herald" and "The Drunken Troll" can not be used in this legend.
- Rules on event cards, moving a creature never move a final enemy. If an event card instructs you to move a creature and a legend card instructs you to not move a creature, do not move it. The legend card takes precedence in this case and the event card is subordinate.
- The torch and the horned falcon (Gifts of the Andori) may not be used against the final enemy.
- If you want to lower the difficulty of the legend, use one of the two mini fan expansions "The Tavern Heroes". Place the respective card beside the game board. When the narrator reaches the resp. letter on the legend track, the corresponding tavern hero is activated. In case of more than one card at the letter the mini expansion is always last.
Legend Card A1
First, read the two cards "Legend instructions 1 & 2". Then follow the steps on the "Checklist" card. Set the materials of the base game and the expansions "New Heroes" and "Star Shield" next to the game board.
Place 1 Gor each in space 17 and 20 and place 1 Skral in space 33. Place 1 star token each in spaces D, H and N.
Each hero starts with 2 strength points. The party receives 3 gold, and 2 strength points.
Andor was experiencing a warm spring and few creatures dared entering the Rietland. The heroes guarded it well, having mastered numerous threats. But the rising sun shone upon a breathless farmer: "Come quickly! The Drunken Troll ravages the tavern!".
It was not for the first time the heroes met the Drunken Troll. He was dumb but amicable and wellknown to the Andori. From time to time an unlucky trader lost his quiet and a barrel of mead to him. Most of the time, however, he tottered about with big barrels of mead under his arms.
"Gilda received fresh mead today. That must have intrigued the Troll."
Unhesitating the heroes hastened to the tavern.
Continue reading on legend card A2.
These cards are part of every play: A1, A2, 1 x A3, D, H1, H2, N, "Back in the tavern 1 & 2", "Gilda remembers 1 - 4", "The first mead", "The dressing down", 1 x "Dark intentions", 16 cards "When Trolls think...".
Legend Card A2
Place all heroes in space 72.
On reaching the tavern, the heroes saw the door ajar and broken. Tables, benches all thrown around. The Troll was nowhere to be seen, presumably rushed off to the woods with the looted barrels. And resting intoxicated in a tree's shade.
Place the Drunken Troll in space 25, laying down. He stays there even if an event card is drawn. The heroes can not enter this space, as long as the Troll is there. Creatures ignore the Drunken Troll.
A small sigh came from a corner. "Gilda?!", they called and beneath remnants of a table, there she was. The Troll must have pushed her aside to grab the mead. Gilda's head sported a big bruise and confused she looked at the heroes. "Who are you? And what a strange place is this? What a mess?!"
"This is your tavern, Gilda, the Drunken Troll stole your fresh mead", the heroes told her. But apparently she did not recall anyone. She could not even remember her own name.
How could the heroes help her?

Legend Card A3 (The Task of the Heroes)
Seven copies of card "A3" exist. Only one random copy is part of the legend card talon (see Legend Instructions 1). Each copy gives the heroes a different task.
Objective "Curative waters"
After long and hard brooding, one of the heroes recounted something: "There is a deep well dug in the Abandoned Tower. The water is rumored to be restorative. But an ancient Gor is guarding the entrance. Only he knows where the entrance key is hidden. But for a few days now he is vanished. Sometimes he attacked denizens of the Watchful Forest. Sure that might be just a tale and nobody knows where he dwells. Nobody has tasted the restorative waters since that fateful night. After the creatures stormed the tower and closed the iron gate. But it might cure Gilda."
"Let's go! Let's find the ancient Gor!", another hero called.
Place one wineskin in space 83, the Abandoned Tower, and mark it. Just the key allows entrance to the Abandoned Tower. Place a star token on space 52. If a hero reaches this space, read the legend card "The ancient Gor".
Objective (The task of the heroes) "Curative waters": The heroes must find the key and move the wineskin from space 83 to the tavern before the narrator reaches space "D" of the legend track. After the wineskin reaches space 72 read the legend card "Back in the tavern 1".
The heroes must defend the Rietburg Castle.
The hero with the lowest rank takes the first turn.
Objective "The fog Gor"
"Reka told me some of her secret mixtures when she was tipsy.", one of the heroes recalls. "Including the recipe for `repetentia poculum´, a potion to regain one's memory. As far as I remember, what is needed is a medicinal herb, water from the river Narne, and a drop of fresh Gor blood, of a fog Gor." A fog Gor would be very reluctant to accompany the heroes to the tavern. But the lure of gold should do the trick.
Place anyone medicinal herb on space 37 and one wineskin on space 63. Determine the position of one gold with a red and a hero dice. Repeat twice. The red die tells the first and the hero die the second digit.
Objective (The task of the heroes) "The fog Gor": Find a Gor in the fog.
Get the medicinal herb (from space 37) and the wineskin (from space 63). Deliver both items and the Gor to the tavern before the narrator reaches space "D" of the legend track. After the items and the fog Gor reach space 72 read the legend card "Back in the tavern 1". Remove both items from play. The Gor stays and moves after the next sunrise as a regular Gor.
The heroes must defend the Rietburg Castle.
The hero with the lowest rank takes the first turn.
Continue reading on legend card "The fog Gor".
Objective "Gildas herb"
"Routine might restore the spirit.", one of the heroes remarked. "We just tell her what she did today. That might jog her memory."
The heroes were looking for clues to implement that idea. Gilda always had an aide-mémoire for the day, they knew. Shortly after they found the list and an empty basket with an additional memo of hers.
While picking berries at sunrise I saw a medicinal herb at the wayside. I haven't seen this herb since my childhood. I'll pluck it, when time allows.
"She did not had the time to gather this herb, maybe it will help her getting her memory back.", one of the heroes hoped. "We just have to find it." The heroes went along, following Gilda's notes.
Objective (The task of the heroes) "Gildas herb": The heroes must find the medicinal herb and deliver it to the tavern before the narrator reaches space "D" of the legend track. After the medicinal herb reaches space 72 read the legend card "Back in the tavern 1".
Continue reading on legend card "Gilda´s agenda".
Objective "Truffel potion"
The heroes sat Gilda up and were looking for something to staunch the blood. Hence under one of the cupboards they discovered a book `Reka's prodigious potions´. But it was battered, with missing pages, partly or altogether.
`Truffel surprise - Jogs your memory´ one list of ingredients was headlined. The list was complete, but exactly the page with the preparation instructions were missing.
"We need to find the missing page to concoct the potion.", one hero remarked.
Place a mushroom on space 47 and add a Gor. Defeat the Gor. Only then the mushroom may be harvested. The mushroom moves with the Gor at sunrise. According to the number of heroes, place hidden parchments on the following spaces: 2 heroes: 21, 32 and 53; 3 heroes: additionally space 37; 4 (5 & 6) heroes: additionally space 71.
Objective (The task of the heroes) "Truffel potion": The heroes must harvest the mushroom, find the parchment with the highest value, and deliver them to the tavern before the narrator reaches space "D" of the legend track. After both items reach space 72 read the legend card "Back in the tavern 1". Remove all parchments and the mushroom from play. The falcon is not able to carry the parchment nor the mushroom.
The heroes must defend the Rietburg Castle.
The hero with the highest rank takes the first turn.
Objective "Journey of the past"
To cure Gilda the heroes decided to bring her to familiar scenes throughout Andor and defeat a creature on the way.
Place a female farmer token (Gilda) on space 72. Place a star token on these places:
- the origin of the king
- the southernmost farm
- the dwarf dwelling
- the northern entrance to the mine
- the merging of sea and wood
- the most important tree in the forest
Objective (The task of the heroes) "Journey of the past": Bring to Gilda as much star marked locations as there are heroes in play. Accompanied by a hero Gilda is safe from all creatures on the same space. Apart from that all other rules concerning farmer tokens are still in force. Gilda is not affected by the event card "Sick farmer".
Defeat at least one creature with Gilda present on the space.
Return Gilda to the tavern before the narrator reaches space "D" of the legend track. After Gilda reaches space 72 read the legend card "Back in the tavern 1". Remove the farmer token from play afterwards.
The heroes must defend the Rietburg Castle.
The hero with the lowest rank takes the first turn.
Objective "The healing potion"
Reka the witch once talked about a special, magic herb growing at the well in the Watchful Forest, one of the heroes recalled. Steeping this herb in the water of the well gives a potion to restore memories. But it must be plucked very carefully. The heroes decided to obtain herb and well water to aid Gilda. While not disregarding their surroundings.
Place one medicinal herb (any value) and one wineskin on space 55.
Objective (The task of the heroes) "The healing potion": The heroes must obtain the medicinal herb and the wineskin and deliver them to the tavern before the narrator reaches space "D" of the legend track. You may not use the falcon to transport them. After a hero collects the medicinal herb and the wineskin read the legend card "At the well". Turn the well on the off-side, however the hero does not receive the willpower points.
The heroes must defend the Rietburg Castle.
The hero with the second highest rank takes the first turn.
Objective "The spell"
"Some weeks ago Varkur stole many scrolls from the dark archives. And we were able to help the keepers to get them back." one hero remarked. "But one of the spells was missing mentioned the keepers. It's useful for manipulating the brain, restoring memories or deleting them. The keepers suspected that the dwarves found and kept the spell. May they will sell us the spell, for a price of course."
Place a gemstone token each (of any value) on the spaces 5, 26, 40, 52 and 66 and 1 parchment (of any value) on space 71.
Objective (The task of the heroes) "The spell": The heroes must deliver the parchment to the tavern before the narrator reaches space "D" of the legend track. After the parchment reaches space 72 read the legend card "Back in the tavern 1". You need to bring 3 gems with 2 heroes, 4 gems with 3 heroes, and 5 gems with 4 (5 & 6) heroes to the mine (space 71). As soon as the needed number of gems is brought to space 71, the heroes receive the parchment with the spell. Remove all gems from play. The falcon is not able to carry the parchment.
The heroes must defend the Rietburg Castle.
The hero with the lowest rank takes the first turn.

Determine the position of 5 of the 6 rune stones with a red (10 digit) and a hero dice (1 digit). Repeat for one medicinal herb.
Important: Place no rune stone nor the medicinal herb on space 25 as long as the Drunken Troll is present. Just determine a new space if space 25 is not available.
Legend Card H1
The party loses the legend if the alpha wolf is not tamed by now. Read on if the alpha wolf is tamed (Irrespective of the alpha wolf being already at the tavern).
Objective: One hero must hook up with the Drunken Troll. If a hero ends his turn on the same space with the Troll, reveal the legend card "The dressing down".
Important: A hero may only enter a space with the Drunken Troll present, if the digit sum of the space number is lower than his current strength points.
Example: The Drunken Troll is on space 29. The hero needs at least 11 strength points to enter this space.
Continue reading on legend card H2.
Legend Card H2
A hero on the space with the Drunken Troll missing the required strength points is relocated to the adjacent space with the lowest number. Likewise if the Drunken Troll moves on a space with a hero.
If the hero has enough strength points to reach or stay on the space with the Drunken Troll and is still awake read the legend card "The dressing down".
Each hero involved is checked separately. Do not add up the strength points of the heroes. Relocate heroes missing the needed strength points. If several heroes qualify, only the hero with the highest rank interacts with the Drunken Troll, see legend cards "The dressing down" and "When Trolls think...".
Important: A present fog token is revealed and resolved at the very last.
Legend Card N

Transcription note: on the printed card the "lost if" box is rotated 180 degrees; its wording is read from the rotated print.
Legend Card "The ancient Gor"
Place a Gor on space 52 and mark him with a star token. This Gor does not move at sunrise. Place 5 hidden light tokens with him. Defeat the Gor to reveal the light tokens. The Gor has as many strength points as all the heroes who attack him added up. Willpower points and dice as a regular Gor.
Reveal the light tokens after defeating the Gor. Sum up the numbers to get the space number where the key is hidden. Place the key on the corresponding space. Getting the key there, it enables the carrying hero to reach the Abandoned Tower on space 83 from space 65. He then may collect the wineskin with the restorative water.
The heroes get no reward for defeating the Gor and the narrator is not moved forward. Tip the Gor and remove the star token. At the next sunrise put him up again and move him like any other Gor thereafter.
Legend Card "The fog Gor"
Fog Gors are small but cunning creatures which are motivated by gold. Promise them enough and they will fancy you.
Mark the next Gor found in the fog with a star token. At sunrise this Gor will not move. Bring him as much gold as there are heroes in play and he will follow you willingly. A hero now may carry along this Gor. Moving one space with the Gor takes 2 hours on the day track. The Gor can only be lead by a hero, he never moves alone.
As long as the fog Gor is lead by a hero, it ignores other creatures. Creatures moving on the space with the fog Gor jump over it. The fog Gor may not enter the Rietburg Castle.
Notice: Remove the gold promised to the fog Gor from play.
Legend Card "Gilda's agenda"
Find the right list of notes
Roll a hero's die and add 40. Place a hidden parchment token on this space. Add a Gor. Defeat the Gor to reveal the parchment token. This Gor does not move at sunrise. Collect the usual reward and move the narrator.
Collect magical lights
Add the value of the parchment to the number of the space. Place a hidden light token on this space. If a hero enters this space, reveal the token and subtract the value from the current space's number. Place a new hidden light token on the new space. If the result is 25, use space 26 instead.
The heroes have to collect light tokens until the sum of their values exceeds, with 2 heroes 20, with 3 heroes 30, with 4 (5 & 6) heroes 40. Sum up the values of the collected light tokens and of the parchment to get the space number where the medicinal herb is hidden. One of the heroes may collect it there.
Support the defenders of the Rietburg
Objective: The heroes must defend the Rietburg Castle.
The hero with the highest rank takes the first turn.
Legend Card "At the well"
Place 1 Gor each on the spaces 48 and 51 and mark them with a star token. The Gors move according to the rules on sunrise.
Important: If the hero carrying the medicinal herb and/or the wineskin enters a space containing one of the marked Gors he must stop and defeat it in his next move in just one combat round. He may be supported by other heroes. The legend is immediately lost if the Gor is not defeated in the first round of combat.
After the medicinal herb and the wineskin reach space 72 read the legend card "Back in the tavern 1" and remove the star token from the two Gors. Remove the medicinal herb and the wineskin from play afterwards.
Legend Card "Back in the tavern 1"
Remove all gold and other items, placed on the board by the task of the heroes.

On reaching space "G" with the narrator the next wolf on the space with the highest number is removed from play. If the alpha wolf is removed, the legend is instantly lost.
Continue reading on legend card "Back in the tavern 2".
Legend Card "Back in the tavern 2"
Objective: The heroes must tame the alpha wolf and bring it to Gilda. The alpha wolf will only follow the Friend of the Wolves. This takes no extra hours on the day track. Read the legend card "Gilda remembers 1" when the alpha wolf reaches the tavern.
As long as the alpha wolf ist not brought to the tavern, the wolves will not support the heroes in combat.
Tame the alpha wolf according to the normal rules. The hero who tamed the alpha wolf gets the wolf symbol on his board and marks the strength of the wolves for the rest of the game. After the alpha wolf reaches the tavern, the Friend of Wolves may move the wolves 4 spaces for every hour on the day track. Other heroes may move the wolves 2 spaces for every hour on the day track.
As soon as the alpha wolf is tamed the Drunken Troll begins to stumble. Erect the Troll and place a star token on the event card talon. If you draw an event card check also the number on it. Place the Troll on the space with that number. The Drunken Troll ignores heroes and wolves. The Troll occupies a space. Creatures on that space or moving onto that space move according to the basic rules one space in the direction of the arrow.

Legend Card "Gilda remembers 3"
Place one log (value 2) on each of the spaces 24 and 31. Roll a hero die and add 50 to determine the number of a space for another log. Repeat twice. Pick up a log if your hero is on the same space. Put the log on the hero board only if it fits to the left of strength point marker on his strength track. A hero can carry several logs if they all fit to the left of his strength point marker.
Place a boulder token for every hero on space 67 (up to 4). Reveal the boulder tokens. A hero can remove a boulder token from space 66. That counts as a "fight" action. To do that, his battle value (strength points plus dice value) has to be at least as great as the number on the boulder token. If he has a battle value equal to the sum of several tokens, they can all be removed at one time. Each attempt to remove boulders costs the hero 1 hour on the time track. The hero may carry a removed boulder on an unused small storage space on the hero's board. Hence he may carry up to 3 boulder tokens. He may pass them to another hero on the same space. He may also place it on the space he is currently on. A hero may pick it up there and carry it on an unused small storage space on the hero's board. The falcon is unable to carry boulder tokens.

The letters on the card are activated when the narrator reaches the matching letter on the legend track. The card is always activated last.
The Tavern Heroes (A, E, H, M)
Place this card upside down by the legend track. When the narrator reaches the resp. letter, the corresponding tavern hero is activated. This card is always activated last.

He supports fighting heroes on his space with 2 additional strength points. Remove the star token when the narrator reaches space "E" and the Anti-Gor becomes a regular Gor.
- E - Ent has a very special mead. Each hero receives one mead (1 wineskin) and stores it on the monetary space of his board. You must use it this day and may not pass nor receive it. Otherwise the mead spoils and is removed from play.
- H - Horus68 reaches any space with his magic wings. Every hero may now once get one revealed small item or gold from any space. Alternatively he may exchange now once any number of small items or gold with any other hero.
