Alternative Banners
With the Alternative Banner cards, the factions have now access to two different Banner cards, each with its own set of powers.
During step 6 of the Game Setup, each player chooses one of their faction's Banner cards and puts the other back in the box.
Alternative Chapter Banner
When the Angel of Death deals a Wound, flip the Banner card to deal 1 additional Wound.
OR
Restore 1 Endurance token to 1 Squad with at least 1 model ⬡⬡ with the Chapter Shrine.
Flip this card after use.
Restore – the Squad cannot have more Endurance tokens than its starting Endurance value. You may not use this Action to prevent a killed model from dying (it's too late for that).
Alternative Dvergar Banner
During your Active turn, before any die roll, you may choose to roll the Red die instead.
OR
Remove 1 Endurance token from the Dvergar Shrine to refresh 1 Crystal.
Flip this card after use.
You can use the Banner instead of paying 1 Crystal for a Red Die.
Remove an Endurance token – you must remove 1 Endurance token and you cannot remove more to refresh more Crystals.
Alternative Demon Banner
Choose 1 enemy model within Range 1 of the Son of Khyber. Check that model for Hit. Effect: Put a FIRE token on that model.
OR
Perform Combat with 1 Demon model against all enemies ⬡⬡ with it.
Flip this card after use.
The first effect only puts a Fire token. No Wounds are dealt.
Perform Combat – you may choose which enemies ⬡⬡ you want to initiate Combat with. You may forfeit any remaining Combats after completing each full Combat Sequence.
Alternative Faceless Banner
When you play an Evolve card, you may bring back all dead models from the Squad you are Evolving and place them in any empty hexes of the board map (without Pushing).
OR
Change Mode with one of your Squad cards for free.
Flip this card after use.
Bring back – you return all models of this Squad to the board. This is a powerful ability which allows Faceless to never stay dead for long. Think of it as if their every Evolve card was also a Resurrect Action. When bringing back models, you don't get to restore any Endurance tokens, so take care to protect your freshly reacquired troops! Your opponent can still gain Victory Points for killing them again!
Change Mode – you can Change Mode of your Squads only. You cannot use an Evolve card for free in this way.
Alternative Reborn Banner
Place 1 new Thicket within Range 2 of an Oracle or Reborn Shrine.
OR
Choose one of your Squads with any model ⬡⬡ with a Thicket. Remove that Thicket and add 2 Charges to any 1 Enhancement of that Squad.
Flip this card after use.
Thickets have to be placed on empty hexes, no Pushing allowed.
You can Charge only 1 Enhancement of 1 Squad this way.
Alternative Rha-Zack Banner
When you play a card during your Active Turn, you may play both upper and lower Action. You pay only for the most expensive Action.
Flip this card after use.
You can choose the order of these Actions. E.g. you use Shoot action, so you pay 2 Crystals. First you might wish to move Shrine next to your target and then Shoot at it.
Alternative Darkness Banner
Spend 5 Dark Points from your pool to Flip this Banner card.
All the information about the Banner provided on the Darkness Faction Sheet and on page 8 in the Stretch Goal Rulebook apply to the Alternative Banner as well (except for the numbers). Note that the Abyssal Empress from Alternative Banner is able to move. In such case the player needs to take her off the Darkness Shrine.
Alternative Shrines
Alternative Shrines give players an option to choose 1 of the 2 Shrines available for their Faction. Now, each Faction has 2 different Shrines, with their 2-sided tokens and 2 cards with description.
During Setup, in Step 5, players choose 1 of the 2 of their Shrines – they use the chosen side of Shrine token and take the appropriate card with description. Put the other card back in the box.
Alternative Chapter Shrine: Sanctuary
During Setup, place 3 BLESSING tokens on the Sanctuary.
During your Passive turn, you may spend 1 BLESSING token to bring back a dead model and place it ⬡⬡ with the Sanctuary.
Alternative Demon Shrine: Altar of Conquest
Each time an enemy model ⬡⬡ with this Shrine is killed, gain 1 additional VP and add 1 Temporary Crystal to your Pool.
This Shrine counts as a Crystal Source during the Harvest of any player.
Alternative Dvergar Shrine: Factory
You can remove 1 Endurance token from the Factory in order to pay the cost of the Red die or a Reroll.
Alternative Faceless Shrine: Incubation Chamber
During the Faceless Passive turn, you may Sacrifice any 1 of your models ⬡⬡ with this Shrine to Evolve or Change Mode with any 1 of your Squads on the board, anywhere on the board.
Note: part of this card's text is covered by the Endurance token artwork in the leaflet. The wording above is taken from the PDF's text layer; the clause ending "anywhere" should be checked against a physical card.
Alternative Reborn Shrine: Sapping Briar
Every time an enemy model ⬡⬡ with the Reborn Shrine is Wounded, restore the same number of Endurance tokens to a Reborn Squad ⬡⬡ with the Reborn Shrine.
Treat all rules on Action cards referring to Thornhearth Wood as referring to Reborn Shrine instead.
Alternative Rha-Zack Shrine: Voltaic Capacitor
During your Active turn, this Shrine may Push other models when repositioning. For each enemy model Pushed this way, you may add 1 Charge to 1 of your attached Enhancements.
Alternative Darkness Shrine: Shadow Vortex
When any enemy model ⬡⬡ with Shadow Vortex Moves or is Pushed away from the Shadow Vortex, place a Dark Point anywhere ⬡⬡ with the Shadow Vortex.
Tournament Mode
In Edge 1.6 we have added an additional set of elements (4 additional Crystal Sources, 16 additional Endurance tokens, 1 additional Victory Point marker) enabling two simultaneously 1 vs 1 player games to be played. From now on 4 players can play two 1 vs 1 games on two tables at the same time!
Cavalry
Cavalry is a new type of Squad. Cavalry Squads may be chosen as one of your Squads during step 7 of the Game Setup, but they are not deployed on the board during step 13. Instead, they will enter play at your command, in a most spectacular way, often swinging the balance back in your favor.
Cavalry Components
- Anathema tokens [x6]
- Barrier tokens [x3]
Cavalry Setup
During Game Setup, Cavalry cards are placed in the Squad slots as any standard Squad.
However, their models are not placed on the board during the Deployment step (13) and remain on their Squad card. To get them on the board, the player will have to use the Cavalry Deployment card.
The Endurance tokens of a Cavalry Squad may not be spent to pay for Actions unless their models are deployed on the board.
Each player may choose to field their Cavalry Squad or not.
Deploy Models Changes
Players take turns setting up one of their Squads. The Positioning player places Squad first. Players take turns until there are no more models left to deploy. If only one of the players picked Cavalry Squad as one of their Squads, they wait for the other player to finish Deploy step before resolving Dispersal step.
Cavalry Enhancement Card
This special Enhancement can only be used by a Cavalry Squad. It is attached to the Cavalry Squad at the start of the game, with 1 Charge token. It cannot be discarded or moved to any other Squad. A Cavalry Enhancement may not be Charged unless the Cavalry Squad is deployed on the board. A Cavalry Squad may not receive any other Enhancement unless their models are deployed on the board.
Enhancements cards with a Passive Action (with a "—" cost) become active as soon as the Cavalry Squad is deployed.
Deployment Card and Deploying Cavalry
Deployment cards are a new type of Action card. When you choose to field a Cavalry Squad during Game Setup, place your Deployment card below the Cavalry Squad card, next to the Enhancement card.
Deployment cards are additional Action cards, with an Upper and a Lower Action. Like other Action cards, they have Crystal cost that must be paid in order to use them.
When used, a Deployment card allows the player to place their Cavalry models according to the rules of the chosen Action. Once the Squad is deployed, the card is removed. A Cavalry Squad is always deployed in Basic Mode, unless the Deployment Action used says otherwise. Deploying a Cavalry Squad on the Board does not count as an activating a Squad, meaning you can activate a Cavalry Squad that was just deployed.
When placed on the board, Cavalry models are NOT subject to the normal deployment restriction (See Game Setup, page 17), but must follow the rules indicated on the chosen Action of their Deployment card.
Deployment card doesn't count against 25 cards deck limit.
Note: the card-face stat numbers of the Cavalry Squad cards (Basic Mode and other modes) are not transcribed here.

World Eater Campaign
PVP campaign. Two players each choose a Faction and play a linked series of Scenarios on the World Eater campaign map. The narrative prologue, the faction story passages and the Script text are flavour and are omitted here, except where a Script carries a rule (sticker placement, Military Power, Scenario choice). Those rules are transcribed where they occur.
Campaign Setup
IMPORTANT! Please note that some campaign rules overwrite the standard guidelines for a Player vs Player game. Any exceptions are specified in the appropriate Scenarios. If a Scenario does not mention a certain aspect of the battle (such as player order, unit deployment, or starting Crystal Pool), it always means this aspect remains unchanged and plays out according to the standard rules found in the Rulebook. The same goes for the "Setup" section of each Scenario – it only contains unusual elements and non-standard placements that overwrite the regular battle setup procedure.
- In this campaign players choose one Faction each and will play their Faction for the entire campaign. Two players cannot choose the same Faction.
- Use basic Banners and Shrines while playing this campaign.
- This campaign uses the World Eater campaign map. The Faction tracks on the campaign map are Military Power tracks, representing the number of soldiers, intelligence and supplies for each side. Put markers on slot 4 of both players' tracks.
- Both markers can never be higher than 10 or lower than 0.
- Whenever the Scenario asks you to do something outside of the standard battle turn sequence (e.g., read Scripts), do it in the order in which it is written.
Campaign Map Modifications
- Sometimes a Script asks you to leave a sticker on a certain slot of the campaign map. These stickers may represent anything from razed settlements to strange powers unleashed due to your actions.
- To keep the campaign map intact, you're never asked to remove any stickers from it. Instead, whenever Scenario requires you to disable any sticker, place a yellow Canceled sticker on top of it so that the number of the original sticker remains visible.
- After you finish the campaign, leave all stickers on the map to mark permanent changes in the world of The Edge: Dawnfall. This may lead to unexpected results in further campaigns and let you discover parts of the story you might not have reached otherwise.
- If you lose or abandon the campaign, disable all of its stickers and try again. If you run out of stickers, you may download and print them yourself, or use a simplified Save Sheet instead.
Starting Units and Decks
Each Faction has its own starting deck of 10 Action cards. Before each battle, after you read the Forces section, add any 5 Action cards to this deck. It will become your Action deck for the duration of this particular Scenario. This will allow you to prepare an Action deck to perfectly match your forces and play style.
- Demons starting deck: Faith [x1], Horde [x1], Infection [x1], Infernal Power [x1], Mist [x2], Resurrection [x2], Rush [x1], Shadowzone [x1]
- Chapter starting deck: Bash [x2], Guard [x1], Leap [x2], Overwatch [x1], Shoot [x2], Tactic [x1], Trap [x1]
- Rha-Zack starting deck: Drill [x1], Jump [x1], Lightning [x1], Minelayer [x1], Ray [x1], Self-Repair [x1], Shock [x1], Shoot [x2], Time Jump [x1]
- Dvergar starting deck: Chained Weapon [x1], Deflect [x2], Detonation [x1], Energize [x1], Marked for Death [x1], Protection [x1], Radiostation [x1], Risky Tactics [x2]
- Reborn starting deck: Burrow [x1], Call of the Wilds [x1], Crawling Jungle [x1], Dragging [x2], Overgrow [x1], Seed [x2], Underground Strike [x1], Weakening [x1]
- Faceless starting deck: Back to Source [x2], Bladespit [x2], Chosen Victim [x1], Hell [x1], Lurch [x2], Swarm [x2]
IMPORTANT! Unlike in standard games, campaign battles do not end when players run out of Action cards. If that happens, simply shuffle all your discarded cards and use them as your new deck.
Hero Token
In some Scenarios, you need to use a Hero Token, represented by your Faction's Victory Point token.
Time Track
Many battles in the campaign use the Time Track. Use the separate Time Track board, found in the Darkness expansion. The Time Track usually shows the end of the battle and all special events that happen during the encounter. Before a Scenario begins, place a Time Marker on slot 1 of the track, and then set up any Turn Markers listed in the Scenario on their corresponding slots. They will help you remember when an event triggers.
Please note that you increase the Time Track only after BOTH players have taken their turns.
Saving Campaign Progress
Although the campaign battles are mostly shorter than regular matches, the full campaign can still take many hours to complete. If you or your opponent wish to stop mid-game, simply take note of the current Scenario number and the status of both campaign tracks.
Then, simply fold and stow the game until you are ready to return. All of your Scenario choices are remembered thanks to a system of stickers that you put on the campaign map as the game progresses.

Part 3-2
Your armies control one of the locations on the eastern wastelands. Other Factions are also approaching. You need to act carefully. Your troops, scouts and resources are limited – they are represented by your Military Power.
Locations on the campaign map are connected with dotted lines. When you decide which location you want to conquer, remember that this area must be connected to one of the locations you already control.
Rules
- You have access to one Block token (represented by an Endurance token) and one Attack token (represented by a Faction token).
- A Block token can be placed only on a Route, represented by dotted lines on the map. The Block token blocks this Route (those locations are not connected for this turn).
- An Attack token can be placed on a location that you want to conquer – it can be placed only on a location connected to one of the locations you control (with your Victory Point token).
- You must spend Military Power to attack a location:
- without any tokens – 1 Military Power
- with a Charge token – 2 Military Power
- with an enemy Victory Point token – 0 Military Power, but it will trigger a battle as described below.
- Players can place their Attack tokens on the same location – they both need to pay first and then they set up a battle using the basic rules – they have access to Shrines, Banners and all Squads and cards. They can also use bonuses from controlled locations. The winning player conquers the territory.
- Players make actions in this order: Demons, Chapter, Rha-Zack, Dvergar, Reborn, Faceless.
Turn
- Both players place their Block tokens.
- Both players place their Attack tokens. They may pass this move.
- If at any moment a player does not control any locations, they can pay 2 Military Power to place their Attack token on any location.
- Resolve battles (if needed).
- Both players place their Faction Victory Point tokens on conquered locations.
- Both players remove their Attack and Block tokens.
- Perform 4 turns and read part 3-3. Use the Time Track to track these turns.
Part 3-3
- Remove any remaining Charge tokens from the map.
- Replace Victory Point tokens with Faction stickers.
- Play Scenario 4.
Scenario 4: Crater Skirmish
Introduction narrative omitted (flavour). The rule lines in the faction paragraphs are kept.

Faceless
- If sticker W17, "The first part", is in the Faceless player's section on the campaign map, read Script 42.
Setup
Set the battle according to the standard rules (pages 4-6 of the Rulebook) with the following exceptions:
- If sticker W18, "Pulsating Crystal", is in a player's section on the campaign map, that player can deactivate it to instantly gain 3 Temporary Crystals (they work in the same way as those described on Demons Faction Sheet). But this Crystal might be useful later...
- The player whose Faction sticker is on slot S2 on the campaign map is a Countering player. The other is a Positioning player.
- During step 12 of the Game Setup, the Positioning player deploys all of the Crystal Sources, and then the Crash Place (represented by a Shadowgate token with a Goal token on it; the Goal token is represented by a Small Campaign token).
- The Positioning player deploys 1 Large Rough Terrain (represented by a Large Campaign token) and 2 Small Rough Terrain pieces (represented by Small Campaign tokens). Then, the Countering player deploys 3 Small Rough Terrain pieces. Rough Terrains can't be deployed in ⬡⬡ with Crystal Sources and Shrines.
- If you are asked to attach an Enhancement card before battle, use one that is not in your deck for this mission if possible. Do it before adding additional cards to your Action deck.
- Players do not give additional Crystals to their opponent for using Elite Squads.
Special Rules
- If any model enters a Space with Large Rough Terrain, it receives 1 Wound.
- If a model with a base of 1 hex enters a Hex with Small Rough Terrain, it receives 1 Wound.
- Any player can try to get the artifact when one of their models is in ⬡⬡ with the Crash Place. During their passive turn this player rolls a red die. If the result is 4+, the player gains the Goal token. It represents the artifact and is placed at the model's base.
- The player who gets the Goal token immediately gains 3 Victory Points (it's not important if the player gains it from the Crash Place or from the enemy.)
- Any player can try to reclaim the Goal token – if they manage to Wound an enemy model with a Goal token in a combat sequence, he automatically takes the Goal token and places it on his model.
- If the model carrying the Goal token is killed outside a Combat sequence, the token is put on one of the hexes occupied by the killed model. The owner of the killed model places the Goal token. To pick it up, any model has to stand on it (and picking it up gives 3 Victory Points.)
- Use the Time Track to count completed turns of the battle. Mark turns III and VI on the track.
- Turn III: Read Script 27.
- Turn VI: Read Script 33.
Objectives
- Both players have the same objective: Win the game through Victory Points or kill all enemy models.
- Both players have the same reward: Gain 1 Military Power. Then, read Script 41.

- Players add 10 cards to their decks, instead of 5.
- Players may pay (as many times as they are able):
- 2 Military Power, to build their whole Action decks (containing 20 cards of their choice).
- 1 Military Power, to add 1 temporary Crystal to the Crystal starting pool (use the Demons Faction tokens).
- 1 Military Power, to deploy 1 model outside the standard rules (e.g. in ⬡⬡ with a Crystal Source, not in ⬡⬡ with other models from its Squad etc.).
Remember: If you haven't conquered many locations on the map during Scenario 3, it would be wise to have some Military Power at the end of this Scenario.
- The player controlling location 8 on the campaign map gets 1 additional Crystal.
- The player controlling location 10 on the campaign map, gets 2 additional Endurance tokens. He must place them on two different Squads. It can take those Squads' Endurance above their starting value.

- If sticker W19, "The Second Part", is in any player's section on the campaign map, it can be deactivated to activate the World Eater Heart instead of one of this player's models, and make Movement and Combat actions.
- If sticker W18, "Pulsating Crystal", is in a player's section on the campaign map, that player can deactivate it, to instantly gain 3 Temporary Crystals (they work in the same way as those described on Demons Faction Sheet).
- Use the Time Track to count completed turns of the battle. The Time Track is used to determine when the World Eater Heart activates (described below).
- World Eater Heart activation:
- The World Eater Heart activates after every odd turn (so when the Time Marker moves on to space 2, 4 and so on). Then it targets:
- The closest model. If there is a tie:
- The model with the biggest base. If there is still a tie:
- The model with the lowest Initiative. If there is still a tie:
- The player with the less Victory Points chooses the target (in case of a tie, the player with more Military Power chooses; if there is still a tie, roll a die).
- The closest model. If there is a tie:
- Then it moves in ⬡⬡ with the target (the player with fewer Victory Points moves it according to the rules above) and starts a combat sequence.
- The World Eater may Push. The player with the less Victory Points performs the Push (in case of a tie, the player with more Military Power chooses; if there is still a tie, roll a die).
