Five Banners Burning

Long-brewing tensions between rival nations boil over, threatening all-out war.

FIVE BANNERS BURNING

Five years into an armistice that ended a decade of warfare, the threat of renewed conflict looms over the continent of Althas.

Five nations, bound together in a delicate web of alliances and rivalries, seek to exploit the opportunities created by a period of rapid magical, political, and social change. Each nation deploys agents to strengthen alliances, sabotage enemies, and tip the balance of power in its favor.

In a Five Banners Burning campaign, you’ll play heroes caught in a twisting, ever-escalating conflict between nations—contending with competing loyalties, generational grudges, and opportunistic villains.
