Full publisher description

The Mystics Set contains 3 new characters which each add their own rules and variety to the game: Bones Diviner: The Bones Diviner's guidance is sought by all Clans. He prays and meditates for weeks at a time, just waiting for the players to meet him on the Honor track's milestones. Once reached by the most honorable player, the Bones Diviner grants them a bonus and calls forward the other Clans. Trickster: The Trickster is a weird one. As it is true that a Clan may loathe him sometimes, it is also true that the other Clans are enjoying his show in the meanwhile...at least until it is their turn. The Trickster loves to fool around with the God, Warchief, and Building decks. Time Weaver: The Time Weaver is a blessed and revered figure among the Clans, as only one in the whole world exists at any given time. She moves between the Volcano rings, and when a player's Champion finally meets her, they get the chance to grasp the future by performing actions from the ring below. Sometimes though, some Champions get also to relive the past. description from the publisher
