From BoardGameGeek
The Illumination of Deepsorrow is a standalone expansion for the Legends Untold system which can be enhanced with the addition of the Weeping Caves and Great Sewers Novice Sets. It can also be combined with these products to create a massive catalogue of cards for self-build adventures. Deepsorrow introduces: Four new playable Occupations and Cultures, along with a host of new Weapons, Kits, Outfits and Talents to let you build the character you want. A new Focus system that allows you to use the mystic teachings of the Nabti Walkers to push your body and mind to the limits of endurance. New Physiological Talents for the Wrathlander - use natural gifts to survive poison and even channel lightning! A new Shock Condition that impacts both Heroes and Foes, beware that sparking floor tile! A new Clues and Epilogues system that rewards exploration – will you brave that Vine Swing Barrier to reveal more about the multiple factions that have an interest in the ancient site? New Boons and Backpack cards that let you expand your party's arsenal of options, you must use them wisely to ensure your survival. New Loot categories including Locked, Sealed, and Heavy, that require you to use all your wits to benefit from them. A new Treasure deck system for those that always have to find every piece of loot. A Cinematic Campaign of multiple Plot Arcs, that you must discover and interact as you explore Deepsorrow. Exhausted, a messenger collapses on the steps of the temple. From his hand a single leaf drops to the floor and a shockwave echoes across the sanctuary. The Monks at Firesorrow have waited millennia for the sign - the Lost Forest has come to life - A Step into Darkness has begun. Where the sky screams and black clouds roar Where the sand climbs high and eagles soar Secrets will travel by sail and oar To Dip'Sa'Ra on distant shore The violent wind whips sand across your face; overhead the constant lightning of the Wrathstorm earths into the enormous coral-like spires that tower above you. You are sworn to your quest: you must investigate the mysteries of Deepsorrow and find the ancient Illumolith so that you may shine a beacon of light and illuminate the approaching darkness. -description from publisher
