How to Seat an Epic

Replace

These 40 plates are your art, seated as optional D&D-style creatures. They do not write Encounters E01–E08. They do not fill cards 001–020. House labels are color affinities — paint language — not a second roster. Foreign realm names from other games stay off the mat.

Hit, then damage, as the Player’s Handbook. An epic occupies a coordinate like a character. Adjacent means the eight surrounding cells. It is not a House. It has no Path, no Reign, no Accord. Defeating it does not score Conquer Crown Proof unless a later lock says an official Encounter was defeated.

Register

• Mark I Cage has no fly speed. Do not give it one.
• Mark XI color-ways are paint, not nine Champions.
• Valoris has a color surplus. The five-body roster is still five bodies.
• Siege against sites still adds +1 Chaos on destruction.
• Names like Salt Widow, The Unwritten, and Mirror Kahn are yours. Realm labels from other games are not.
• Replace any plate from the vault. The stat block stays until the Foundry changes it.

Tokens read. Terrain seduces. Invented Encounters do not become canon.
