When times are tough, there are places where you can find shelter. Havens where you can regrow your strength with the guidance of a wise mentor. When in doubt, look to your Sanctuaries… The third phase of Nature Incarnate content is now available with a new Spirit and 3 Aspects for existing Spirits.
Spirit: Towering Roots of the Jungle
A massive, sprawling tree, mighty and ancient. It predates the Dahan, but its history has entwined with theirs ever since they arrived. It protected the land from any accidental damage done by the Dahan, and the Dahan from Spirits that wished them ill. Now, the threat of the Invaders and their heedless destruction has motivated it to grow and change in a new way…
Three New Aspects
River Surges in Sunlight (Haven)
Shifting Memory of Ages (Mentor)
A Spread of Rampant Green (Regrowth)
Vitality Tokens
Represent lands where the ecosystem is unusually resilient and able to resist or quickly rebound from damage. Each Vitality in a land with no Blight prevents 1 Blight from being added and is then removed. These tokens are used by the new Spirit and two upcoming Aspects.
No additional purchase is required; you will gain access to the new content with your existing purchase of Nature Incarnate.
