Overview

Arthur and Mordred clashed at Camlann, where both fell. Arthur's body was carried to Avalon, but unknown to the fey, Mordred followed—for the shattered son of King Arthur still lives. Through forbidden lore, Mordred survived the wounds of Excalibur, following Arthur along the secret paths to Avalon. Now, the veil between the magical and mundane has been torn, and the wound acts as a beacon. The hidden way is revealed, drawing all with the sight—some to ravage the land, others to defend it. In Avalon: The Riven Veil, a 2-4 player Arthurian area-control and exploration game, you lead powerful factions through the misty veil into the mystical isle of Avalon. Discover what awaits in the enchanted mists, seek out legendary items of power, forge bonds with mythical beasts, search for the Holy Grail, and ready yourself for war. The fate of Avalon lies in your hands.
