Lumineth of the Prismatic City of Kalaedus

February 2024·pp. 50–51

THE SHORT VERSION

Kalaedus lies between Alumnia and Zaitrec, combining Teclian and Tyrionic traditions in one city. Joel uses the light theme as permission for rainbow banners, supported by clean white armour and dark blue cloth. Mixed intermediate colours build a sequence across the banner, making the decorative spectrum the collection’s principal identifying feature.

Worlds of Warhammer: Ghyran

Phil Kelly explores the Realm of Life beyond the assumption that it is uniformly green and idyllic. Nurgle’s corruption coexists with sacred waters, huge insects and fiercely defended settlements; Hammerhal Ghyra controls growth with imported lava and purifying steam. Accounts of Decrepita, the Shimmerfalls, Cursewood, the Living City, Mosscairn and Slicston reveal contrasting forms of abundance, decay and everyday danger.

The Stronghold’s Treasure

An attacker searches a defended stronghold for a hidden treasure while the defender secretly assigns different goods to four stashes. Investigating may reveal the prize, concealing fog, healing unguents or an explosive store of blastwood. The winner is whoever holds the discovered treasure after five rounds; if it remains hidden, the defender’s protection has succeeded. The plan can accompany issue 496’s siege pack or stand alone.
