Bonds of the Wild

Bonds of the Wild.

For years, stories have been told of Mabinogi and the Tree of Life. In a time of plague, Mabinogi left his people to

follow the tales of a tree that could heal sickness and resurrect the dead. He returned from his journey with a length of blackened wood clutched in his hands. It is said that sickness did not come to that town for many years and Mabinogi never revealed the location of the Tree of Life. As time passed the branch was lost, but recently, rumors have spread of a blackened branch hidden within a den of kobolds. 

Bonds of the Wild is the upcoming sixth Hero and Monster Collection for Descent: Journeys in the Dark Second Edition. As with the other collections, Bonds of the Wild offers new options for hero players and overlord players, presenting four classic heroes and three monster groups. This pack groups the heroes that brought personal familiars into play, and its the first to present only two class archetypes, scout and mage.

Bonds of the Wild will be released in Q3 of 2015.
