Narrative Variant

Queen of Ash Town​

If players wish, they may use this scenario to represent Athera and the Ash Wyld’s defence of the House of Gilded Grace.

In order to do this, make the following changes:

  • The attacker’s gang should be a Goliath gang.
  • The defender’s gang should be an Escher gang with a large number of Wyld Runners led by Athera and accompanied by an Apprentice Clan Chymist.
  • The House of Gilded Grace rule is in effect and each defending fighter starts the battle with a dose of either Blood Boil or Skin Fire, while Athera starts with a dose of Predator’s Kiss.
