	Description Edit \| History

In this fantasy sequel to Twilight Imperium, players control races that must juggle military and economic concerns with a quest to gather the magical stars spread across the land. The game board is made up of hex tiles and players use a resource system that has similarities to The Settlers of Catan. A card driven system resolves players' quests.

Expanded by:

Battlemist Rules Scan

A B&W Scan of the rules. Does not include the two pages on P22 and P23 that just had ads. One of the diagram examples is hard to read, but otherwise, the greyscale-to-B&W conversion went really well. Scanned and uploaded with permission of FFG
