In a low-fantasy land on the brink of war, you lead a band of new recruits caught up in betrayal and political conflict. Their campaign follows the struggle to uncover the forces driving the conflict.
Battles unfold in turns on hex maps, where movement, facing, terrain, and enemy zones of control shape your options. Coordinate attacks and abilities, protect exposed allies, and use flanking positions to gain an advantage.
Recruit allies, develop units through class promotions, and customize their weapons and equipment to suit different roles. Story decisions can affect characters and outcomes, while optional permadeath and character-growth settings let you adjust parts of the campaign.
