This is an expansion for Dragons of Etchinstone. You will need the base game to play.

While the Tower welcomes new Ether Mages into the fold, the fight is far from over. Ancient evils have claimed Northvale, the warrior civilization in Northern Valorfall. These winter-hardened tribes would not have stood for loss without a fight. Surely this aggression must have been committed by only the most powerful adversaries. Some say they are the fathers of dragons. Others, dormant titans awakened from deep beneath the earth. It will require the greatest of Valorfall's Ether Mages to answer this challenge. Etchinstone calls for every elemental guild's best Mage to travel northward — to glory or defeat.

Gameplay Overview
Dragons of Etchinstone: Northvale is an 18-card expansion that deepens the base game's punishing solo puzzle with a meaningful new layer: playable characters. Rather than the apprentice mage of the original game, Northvale has you choosing one of four elder mages — one from each elemental guild (red, blue, gray, and yellow) — each with their own unique abilities and personal weaknesses that reshape your strategic approach entirely. Special action cards replace base game cards to create a fresh puzzle with new mechanisms and tactics, while the threat level escalates: the enemies here are the fathers of dragons and awakened titans, greater threats than anything you faced before. Remarkably, the whole thing still fits in your palm alongside the base game. A compact but substantial expansion for anyone who's conquered the original and is hungry for more.
