In the foothills near Greyhaven there sits a forgotten manor, the haunted
residence of the late high mage Ithyndrus. A trove of antique trinkets and

unchecked, the power and size of this creature will never stop expanding.
Its potential is limitless, and it must be stopped.

Expansion Setup
Each Descent: Journeys in the Dark Second Edition expansion is designed
to seamlessly integrate into your collection. Before using this expansion for
the first time, perform the following steps:

1. Incorporate Expansion Cards: Take the new Class, Condition, Shop

Item, Relic, Overlord, Monster, and Lieutenant cards and add them to
the pool of available cards.
2. Prepare New Cards: Combine the Rumor cards from this expansion
with those found in other expansions. If you do not have other
expansions that include Rumor cards, create a new deck using the cards
found in only this expansion.
Store the Servant and Advanced Quest cards in the game box until
called for.
3. Incorporate Other Components: Add the Hero sheets, hero and
monster figures, all tokens, and map tiles from this expansion to their
respective supplies.
Players should finish any campaigns they have started before incorporating
the components from Manor of Ravens into Descent: Journeys in the Dark
Second Edition.

Manor of Ravens Quests

A large and exciting part of Manor of Ravens is the six quests included in the
latter half of this book. Players can utilize these new quests in three different
ways:

• The quests can be incorporated into any campaign through the use of
Rumors cards (see “Rumors” on page 5).
• The quests can be strung together and be played as a mini campaign (see
“Mini Campaign Rules” on page 7).
• Each quest can be played as a single standalone quest following the
basic game or Epic Play rules described in the Descent: Journeys in the
Dark Second Edition rulebook. When playing a single quest outside of a
campaign, players ignore the “Rewards” section for each quest.

Example: The hero players have won the “A Fat Goblin” quest during Act I of “The
Shadow Rune” campaign. At the start of the next Campaign phase, the overlord chooses
to play his “Spread Your Wings” Rumor card. During the Choose Next Quest step, the
heroes decide they wish to attempt the “Spread Your Wings” quest and begin setting up
“Spread Your Wings.”

The overlord ultimately wins the “Spread Your Wings” quest, so the players refer to its
“Reward” section of the Quest Guide. The section instructs them to place the “Where the
Heart Is” Advanced Quest card into play. The overlord finds the “Where the Heart Is”
Advanced Quest card and places it faceup in the play area. This quest will be available
during future Choose Next Quest steps in Campaign phases of Act II.

Since the players have only completed one Act I quest on the campaign sheet, they will
need to complete two more before proceeding to the Interlude.

Also, if the heroes win a quest, they can choose one hero to receive one random

additional experience point.
Instead of integrating Manor of Ravens quests into an existing campaign, players
can choose to play a mini campaign using only the quests found in the Manor
of Ravens Quest Guide. This mini campaign contains fewer quests than a full
campaign and requires only 5–8 hours to complete.

PLAYING THIS MINI CAMPAIGN

Players play the “Manor of Ravens” mini campaign following the normal campaign
rules described in the Descent: Journeys in the Dark Second Edition base game
rulebook in addition to the changes noted in this section.

Unlike a full campaign, this mini campaign consists of only four quests played in a
specific order. Players cannot use Rumor cards when playing a mini campaign. Players
play the entire campaign using the following steps:

1. Setup: Perform all normal rules for game setup. Each hero
receives four experience points and 100 gold, and the overlord
receives four experience points. Then, players perform a Spend
Experience Points step and a Shopping step. Players may save any
unspent gold and experience points to spend in future Campaign
phases. Players can record their gold and experience points on the
Campaign log on page 9.
2. Travel: Perform a travel step beginning at the “Mountain Pass” (see the
campaign map on the back of this book).
3. Quest #1: Play the “Spread Your Wings” quest.
4. Campaign Phase: Perform a Campaign phase, skipping the Choose Next Quest
step. Heroes begin travel from the “Spread your Wings” quest.
5. Quest #2: Play the “Finders and Keepers” quest.
6. Campaign Phase: Perform a Campaign phase, skipping the Choose Next Quest
step. Heroes begin travel from the “Finders and Keepers” quest.
7. Quest #3: Play the “My House, My Rules” quest.
8. Transition to Act II: Perform the steps listed under “Act II” on page 22 of
Descent: Journeys in the Dark Second Edition rulebook.
9. Campaign Phase: Perform a standard Campaign phase (see step 10 below
for which quests may be chosen). Heroes begin travel from the “My House, My
Rules” quest.
10. Finale: If the heroes won more quests than the overlord during Act I, they
choose the next quest from those that correspond with any quest that they
won. If the overlord won more quests than the heroes during Act I, he chooses
the next quest from those that correspond with any quest that he won (see the
Campaign log on page 11 for which Finales correspond with which quests).

THE STORY
“I realize it’s an odd request, but I worry about the old manor,” the wrinkly mage whispers. “Ithyndrus had unhealthy interests
in the strange and unnatural artifacts of our world. There are rumors that bandits have been looting. And tales of,” he leans
closer, as if someone might be listening, “a strange creature within her walls.”
“Odd things happen when a wizard dies. His memories and desires echo, and his power doesn’t just fade away, it seeps into
the world around him. If this beast, Skarn, is a product of Ithyndrus’ death and can harness the power of just a few of those
artifacts… I fear what it will be capable of.”
