TURN 21

Research

Prince FitzHarbort learns that in F2 is Horn of Fool's Retort (at the start of combat, summons the Thunderstorm Dragon as a third-party participant in a fight, hostile to all sides. The Horn will always summon the same Thunderstorm dragon and is destroyed if the dragon perishes. The Thunderstorm Dragon is always hostile to everyone, can only be damaged by archers and flying units, flies above forts and castles and so cannot be harmed by siege weaponry and ignores walls and keeps, and always flies in the enemy phase. She will flee in a random direction if she takes three hits. She doesn't willingly pick up artefacts.)

Marquess Vulk learns that in L4 is the Sunken Library - Lair containing a library (that works the same as a normal library) and a Scriptorium (Once per turn, you may duplicate a Plan artefact). A place for students of the forbidden rites, only Bloodsingers and Bone Reckoners will appear here. It starts with 1d4 [1] Bloodsingers with artefacts [Black Dog], 1d4 Bone Reckoners [4], 1d4+3 [5] Skeletal Warriors and 1d4 [3] Skeletal Archers. Once this is revealed, Bloodsingers who flee combat will go here, including any still alive on the map having fled a previous combat. Bloodsingers and Bone Reckoners and their minions won't march from here. Only in WW.

If it is assigned to a fort or left in the castle, 1d4 wolves will attack that location. Any wolves in the presence of the Black Dog that flee, desert, or are lured or commanded will instead try to return to their spiritual home, if possible.)
M3 is the Rock Ring (With a scout, raise up a mountain wall between any two tiles. You must own at least one of the tiles to do this.)
R3 is Black Cloud, Bryn's Club, King's Writ.

Held by Lords

Sol: Verbian Tusk (summons 1d2-1 Rampaging Boars to your side at the start of each combat. Boars don't count towards your maximum army-size.)

the Black Trotter (Cursed item: cannot be destroyed, sacrificed, gifted or traded. Whoever defeats an army wielding Black Trotter will gain the Black Trotter.) (One unit attacks first twice at the start of each combat, but each time they kill a unit somewhere a boar will turn into a grand tusk- a giant pig that counts as 2 boar. If no boar are currently on the map, the next X boar to appear will all be grand tusks, where X is the number of units killed by the Trotter.)

the Boarskin Coat (when you attack boars, they don't get first attack, they get two attacks on their first counterattack)

The Shield of Earth (the army wielding this is considered to have +1 defence at the start of every combat, as if they were siege defenders)

Ayes: Sundering Claw (assign a scout to crack open a permanent path through any adjacent mountain. 25% chance to call a hostile dragon to the location)

Bockhoven: Golden Net (A scout carrying this across water has a 25% chance of rolling on the treasure table)

the Rhuddy Cape (the unit this is assigned to is now considered a giant)

The Wolf Crystal (wolves encountered will join the army instead (they still all run away when injured)

Watchtower plans (Can build Watchtowers for 10 stone. Watchtowers allow defenders to attack first during the first round of a seige, and owner gets a hill report. Doesn't count towards anathema count)

the Speculator's Rod (a scout scouting an empty hill that they own, has 25% chance to discover a quarry. They instead find a mine if the hill is adjacent to a mountain. The same tile cannot be scouted in this way more than once per turn.)

Whiptide Sail (one boat or ship can travel twice as far.)

Vulk: the Last Femur! (1/4 chance of each dead unit being resurrected to your side as a skeleton warrior when they die)

Thornish Crown (when owned by someone of Thornish heritage, one Thornish Holdout will join your cause at the start of each turn (+1 army production); when owned by an Alkabrian or other, becomes the preferential target for all Thornish attacks until the crown is reclaimed. Doesn't count towards Anathema count.)

Cat Sack (defeated Bog Cats are put in the Cat Sack instead of being killed if the Cat Sack is held by the winning force. These cats are owned but unfriendly, and any number can be released by an army in any combat, or let loose by a scout in any tile.)

Prince FitzHarbort: Ascupart's Bane (unit has +2 dice vs giants).

Marrowfat Shield (whichever unit is given the shield will be last to be attacked in any combat. Sacred to the Squelsh, any non-Squelsh who takes the Shield gains +30 reprisal chance and +60 if they destroy, sacrifice or otherwise remove the Shield from the county.)

Sent to the King:
Hunter's Stand (Archers in the army this is attached to only die on 5s if no other units remain)

Marrowfat Throne (when owned by someone of Squelsh heritage, one Squelsh defector will join your cause at the start of each turn (+1 army production) and adjacent Squelsh armies will join your attacks on non-Squelsh; when owned by an Alkabrian or other, +30 reprisal chance, +100 reprisal chance if destroyed.)

Pellucid Orb (+1 to scout travel distance)

Cragman's Spike (a scout may pass through mountains)

Thornish Lodestone (while this remains in the Hedge, whenever no Thornish fort is on the map, another fort is revealed in a sector usually far from the owner of this artefact (most distant of two rolls)

Spoiler: Known Unique Sites (click to show/hide)

A5 is Castle Aubade (Tower, Coppicing Grove, Shipyard), with the Speculator's Rod, Shield of Earth, Whiptide Sail. Two boats and a ship are also here.

A6 is The Knuckle Yard - Ritual death ring of the Squelsh natives. Owner may choose at any time to close down the yard (+20 reprisal chance). While operational: +2 income, if possible, two Barbarians from two different random squares will leave their post to fight at the start of each enemy phase, one one will return a Squelsh Champion (counts as two units, +1 to its attacks).

C8 is the Crimson Tower (Keep/Tower/Bloodforge) Defence 10/17,  - Dai the Bloodsinger has a Bloodforge in which 3 armies may be sacrificed to create a new artefact (and become anathema to all).

D5 is the Puffin Prongs - Hill. High up on each of the twin spires 2 random artefacts can be found (though what each one is unknown before making the steps). Making ladders and steps to get them will cost 4 wood each. Guarding Puffin Prongs is the Fullflood Dragon and the Neapflood Dragon, who will always try to be together and won't stray while the other lives. (Site only appears on a coast or water tile.)

E7 and K1 are the Walking Stone Circles - A pair of sites. They are considered adjacent: units can walk from one to the other across the map. Each is initially defended by three giants. They will let anyone pass through both tiles unharmed in a turn as if they were owned by the traveller, for 1 gold per unit passing (if they do so, they won't join a monster march). Gold accumulates on the first stone circle passed through. Enemies always find the gold for it.

F11 is Lake Sorrow.

F12 is The Grove of Tusks - Holy place of the Squelsh - This is a forest. Whoever owns this has a +50% chance of being attacked each turn by Squelsh, who will target the Grove. Special Action: a scout can be sent to the grove to make a sacrificial offering (worth 10 gold) to make peace with the Squelsh, setting their chance to reprisals to 0. This only works for people who don't own the Grove.

G3 is Yawing Crevice (A desolate crack in the earth. Artefacts may be destroyed by a scout or army throwing it into the crevice. Doing so releases a tanglebat, which will attack anyone present at the time, including scouts. Doing so also grants a permanent -2 anathema score. Only appears in WW.)

G7 is is Toad Pond - Marshland - (5 toads live here (toads don't march and don't have special abilities).)
Spoiler: Toad Pond (click to show/hide)
 Artefacts may be sacrificed into the pond by scouts in exchange for one of the five Toad Artefacts, which don't appear outside of sacrifices.
When all Toad Artefacts have appeared the Golden Toad will bless the Pond and grant each visiting Lord who sends a scout a one-time unique boon: (Pick one of the following. Doesn't work if another Lord has picked the same boon, or you've already had a boon: 1. -40 debt; 2. transform all your toads back into their original forms; 3. return to you one sacrificed, destroyed or removed-from-county artefact of your choice; 4. conquer any unoccupied known tile on the map; 5. transform one unit anywhere on the map into a toad; 6. fix a castle or fort to full wall health; 7. remove a curse from any one artefact; 8. Gain 5 gold, 5 stone, 5 wood, 5 bows, 5 siege engines, 5 toads)

G10 is Wolfhaven Woods - Forest. Spiritual home of wolf kind. Inhabited by 10d4 wolves (25). These wolves will only flee if less than 10 remain. Any wolves that would otherwise be loyal to a non-wolf, are loyal to the wolves in these woods. Wolves in this forest will never march on anywhere.

H10 is Owl Woods - Forest. Originally guarded by the Dusk Dragon (the Dusk Dragon counts for 10 armies) and seven wisps. The dragon holds Ascupart's Bane (unit has +2 dice vs giants).

J4 is Wisp Lake, containing the Wellspring Staff.

L2 is is the Puzzle Dungeon of Mad Lord Frost (Castle with keep, Seige Workshop) 13/13 defence - Lord Frost, a paranoid and inventive Thornish holdout, has retreated deep into his keep to tinker on his creations and allowed monsters to live in the outer areas. While he holds the Puzzle Dungeon, this castle counts as a lair: roll three on the monster table [2 giant, 2 wisps] for initial population. Any monsters marching from this location gain a randomly typed seige engine. He has stockpiled 2d6 wood [5] and 1d6 stone [2].

L3 is The Prison of the Anathalord - Hill -  Defence (14/20) - The Anathalord, a powerful Bone Reckoner, is stuck within a near-impregnable prison (only attack rolls of 8+ may damage the cage (and not him), and he cannot attack from within it). If the Anathalord ever gets loose, all existing skeletal units would crumble and reconstitute by his side (as a one-time effect). The Anathalord can gain Anathema. The Anathalord carries the Last Femur [Doghorn], the Bonemeal Shield, the Rip Cage, the Dreadskull and Fleshbane (or random artefacts for any already discovered). Only found in WW, full-mountain or ocean tiles. Nearby monster marches can seek to free the Anathalord if the prison is as close or closer than a normal target.

L4 is the Sunken Library - Lair containing a library (that works the same as a normal library) and a Scriptorium (Once per turn, you may duplicate a Plan artefact). A place for students of the forbidden rites, only Bloodsingers and Bone Reckoners will appear here. It starts with 1d4 [1] Bloodsingers with artefacts [Black Dog], 1d4 Bone Reckoners [4], 1d4+3 [5] Skeletal Warriors and 1d4 [3] Skeletal Archers. Once this is revealed, Bloodsingers who flee combat will go here, including any still alive on the map having fled a previous combat. Bloodsingers and Bone Reckoners and their minions won't march from here. Only in WW.

L5 is Lake Longing - (Water makes this tile impassible except by boat or ship. Spills over onto adjacent tiles. Won't spawn on a coast.)

L6 is Hogland Hollow - Forest. Inhabited by 3d6 Boar. While it is unconquered, at the end of any turn when there is less than 10 boars in this forest, 1d4 more boar will appear. Your scout withdraws to safety.

O8 is The Hag Market. Marshland. Protected by 9 bog hags and 27 bog cats. Scouts can be sent to the market to buy bog cats (4 gold each) and otherwise may pass through without being attacked. Half the money spent here remains as possible loot. Friendly bog cats have +1 attack in marshland, and while you have a cat, they give -1 (non-cumulative) to enemy attack rolls. Cats cannot be sent to scout, and they cannot be send to attack or patrol by themselves. Monsters won't march from this location."

R3 is The Castle of Bryn the Brawn (Keep/Tower/Tower) Defence 21/21, occupied by Bryn, a giant, and his family, three more giants. The adjacent squares are also within his domain. Bryn will wage war to retake any squares adjacent to his castle, always accompanied in battle by 1d6 wolves.

R10 is the Scout Hut - Initially abandoned and inhabited by a family of 6 boar. Up to three armies can be assigned to the Hut as if it were a fort and they don't count towards your army cap. These armies can scout so long at they begin scouting from a tile adjacent to the hut. Spend 3 wood to dismantle and reassemble the hut on an empty tile you own.

T3 is The Moot - Village with 2d2 (2+1=3) Squelsh Barbarians and a moat (6/6 defense). It is the neutral meeting place of rival Squelsh bands. At the start of each enemy turn, each tile with a Squelsh Barbarian has a 25% chance of sending someone to the Moot. The first Squelsh reprisal each turn will be joined by whomever is in the Moot. If the Moot is conquered, a new Moot (with a new moat) will appear in the most populous Squelsh-held village at the start of the next player turn, or if there are no such villages, it may appear in future tile generation (from scouting, research etc.).

T11 is Hero's Tor - Hill Fort (Steep Path: Siege Engines cannot assail this hill) (9/9). An ageing Squelsh Champion (counts as two units, +1 to its attacks) with the Bloody Standard (+1 all attack rolls) sits in retirement in this fort, with his retinue of 6 Squelsh Barbarians, and two pet wisps.

[Criptfeind]

I have some armies I think I wouldn't mind selling, what rate did you want to trade for the stone?

I have... I guess 9 armies I could sell, I think. Not sure if I would want to sell all of them, but if the price was right maybe?

[a1s]

3 armies for 2 stone. 6 for 4. I only have the 4. But you mentioned you needed wood. I can supply 2 wood per army. nearly unlimited amounts.
Finally, I have some gold set aside for cat purrchases, but I can use it for armies too. 1-1.

[Criptfeind]

I'll send you 6 armies for 4 stone, sounds great to me.

Also I was planning on sending a person to purchase cats as well this turn, if you wanted, I'd be willing to take your gold and purchase your cats for you. Save a scout turn between the two of us.

Spoiler: Enemy Phase (click to show/hide)

The Black Lance exerts a pull on those Dragons that wander.
- [F9] The Murkdragon  flies south towards the Black Lance, taking the village.
- [O3] The dragon doesn't wander.
- [O4] The Dawn Dragon  flies north-east towards the Black Lance, bringing friends.
- [P3] The dragon flies north, towards the Black Lance.
- [R3] The Crepuscular Dragon doesn't wander.
- [Q3] The dragon doesn't wander.

Barbarians from A4 and H3 fight in the Knuckle Yard. H3 wins and returns a Champion.
Barbarian-occupied tiles A4, F14 (Champion), T11 send someone to the moot.
- Reprisals:
--[Vulk 64%] The Squelsh are quiet... for now.
--[Ayes 5%] The Squelsh are quiet... for now.
--[FitzHarbort 3%] The Squelsh are quiet... for now.
--[Bockhoven 2%] The Squelsh are quiet... for now.
--[Sol 0%]  The Squelsh are quiet... for now.

The Crepuscular Dragon is in effect:
- [F5] Castle Bacchus -  Joining the castle is one Bone Reckoners, with two skeletal warriors.
- [J6] No new monsters come.
- [J9] No new monsters come.
- [J10] Sundered Spire: No new monsters come.
- [K11] Joining the lair is four rampaging boar.
- [L10] Joining the lair is one rampaging boar.
- [Q3] Crepuscular Lair: Joining the lair is a giant.

Bryn a wisp, fourteen wolves, and the Crepuscular Dragon war to take back the fort at R4. It's undefended so they take it and then return to the castle.

The Upswing Horde [J9] decide to attack I10. The fort is empty and they take it without a fight.

There's no nearby Squelsh for The Marrowfat Sceptre to draw closer.

TURN 22

Research

Prince FitzHarbort learns that in H6 is Lustre Mine - Hill. Grants +5 gold income. Protected by nine wisps (only found adjacent to mountains)

Marquess Vulk, in his main castle, gains an Alkabrian Outpost

Spoiler: Alkabrian Outpost (click to show/hide)

(Special! If this would appear, it appears in the revealing player's primary castle instead (possibly rerolling a tile if discovered while scouting or marching). Players can send a scout to the Outpost in friendly castles to send a special envoy to King Alkabar. The scout doesn't return. Choose one of the following actions for the envoy:
 - Spend 10 gold and declare one unconquered tile uncontestable: King Alkabar will give dispensation and allow it to remain independent. This is only checked when triggering the end of game. If someone conquers an uncontestable tile anyway, they will owe +20 debt for inconveniencing the King.
 - Ask for a loan: gain 20 gold and 20 debt.
 - Send a gift (-1 artefact of your choice, +20 score at the end of the game, cursed items cannot be sent. -2 less score for each successive artefact anyone sends.)
 - Wipe out any amount of debt by spending 2 gold for every 1 debt.
 The effects are immediate. Outposts can appear for any player without one.

Spoiler: Known Artefact List (click to show/hide)

Held By Dragons
Crepuscular Dragon: Wisp Wand (at the start of every combat a wisp appears; there's a 2/3 chance it joins your side.)
Garrison Plans (For each recruitment over cap, 1 guard appears in the Garrison. Guards can never march or be redeployed, but will defend; if you have multiple Garrisons, the new Guards are split between them evenly, with excess going to the main castle). Doesn't count towards anathema count.

In the world
C1 is the Blood Forge Plans
D2 is Bridge Plans (Can build bridges between any two adjacent tiles separated by water, if you own at least one side. Costs 10 stone. You can replace 2 wood for any 1 stone in construction (e.g. 5 stone and 10 wood. Doesn't count towards anathema count)
F2 is Horn of Fool's Retort (at the start of combat, summons the Thunderstorm Dragon as a third-party participant in a fight, hostile to all sides. The Horn will always summon the same Thunderstorm dragon and is destroyed if the dragon perishes. The Thunderstorm Dragon is always hostile to everyone, can only be damaged by archers and flying units, flies above forts and castles and so cannot be harmed by siege weaponry and ignores walls and keeps, and always flies in the enemy phase. She will flee in a random direction if she takes three hits. She doesn't willingly pick up artefacts.)
F5 is Charnel Knife (Equipped unit gains +1 to attacks for every unit you have sacrificed since owning the Charnel Knife- Bloodsingers with this get +3.)
F9 is Murkblade (a scout will kill any lone human enemy they discover while scouting.)
G10 is Bitter Brew  (The set of armies this is equipped to never retreats from losses.)
I5 is Siege Workshop Plans (The owner of this can build a Siege Workshop as a feature (spending 10 stone as normal). Siege Workshop: You can build these two alternative types of seige engine: 1. Battering Ram: destroy walls on a 4+ for one round (or 3+ or 2+ if you spend 2 or 4 more wood). 2. Giant Trebuchet: destroy 1d4 defence before the attack begins. You may spend 1-3 stone in ammunition to add 1-3 d4s to this.) Doesn't count towards anathema count.
J4 is Wellspring Staff (the Wellspring Staff may be cast into marshland by a unit to turn it into a lake (spilling out into all adjacent tiles - units can drown this way without proper precautions). If the staff is recovered (by boat etc) in subsequent turns, the lake remains.)
J6 is the Black Lance (Cursed item: cannot be destroyed, sacrificed, gifted or traded. Whoever defeats an army wielding the Black Lance will gain the Black Lance.) (You never attack first in combats, but on your first attack all your attackers will attack three times. The turn after slaying someone with the lance, Dragons will preferentially fly one square in your direction when flying to a new home. When this first discovered, place the Dawn Dragon on M6 (the Dawn Dragon counts for 15 armies)).
J6 is the Black Claw (Cursed item: cannot be destroyed, sacrificed, gifted or traded. Whoever defeats an army wielding Black Claw will gain the Black Claw.) (+4 dice rolled when attacking, every time someone is killed by a force wielding the claw, the nearest square with a bog cat gains another cat. If there are none, a bog cat will appear in the nearest empty square.)
J6 is the Shimmering Coin (+2 on rolls that determine gold amounts)
J6 - Perfidy's Horn (Monster units controlled by a human unit in the vicinity will become hostile third parties, turning on everyone.)
L3 is Bonemeal Shield (The first time the unit this is attached to dies each combat, a random opposing unit dies instead, and the Lord gains +1 Anathema.)
L3 is Doghorn (Bog Cats will attempt to flee in the opposite direction of the army or scout holding this. Declare the direction of approach is multiple are possible, otherwise it's random.)
L3 is Rip Cage (Unit this is attached to can only die on an 8+, but makes -1 dice rolls in combat.)
L3 is Fleshbane (Gain +1 dice vs living humans.)
L3 is Dreadskull (any unit fleeing from an army with the Dreadskull will instead desert.)
L4 is Black Dog  (Cursed item: cannot be destroyed, sacrificed, gifted or traded. Whoever defeats an army wielding Black Dog will gain the Black Dog.) (Black Dog adds 1d4 wolves to the enemy side during combat. If Black Dog is assigned to a scout, it will add 1d4 wolves to each tile scouted (after leaving). If it is assigned to a fort or left in the castle, 1d4 wolves will attack that location. Any wolves in the presence of the Black Dog that flee, desert, or are lured or commanded will instead try to return to their spiritual home, if possible.)
M3 is the Rock Ring (With a scout, raise up a mountain wall between any two tiles. You must own at least one of the tiles to do this.)
R3 is Black Cloud, Bryn's Club, King's Writ.

Held by Lords

Sol: Verbian Tusk (summons 1d2-1 Rampaging Boars to your side at the start of each combat. Boars don't count towards your maximum army-size.)

the Black Trotter (Cursed item: cannot be destroyed, sacrificed, gifted or traded. Whoever defeats an army wielding Black Trotter will gain the Black Trotter.) (One unit attacks first twice at the start of each combat, but each time they kill a unit somewhere a boar will turn into a grand tusk- a giant pig that counts as 2 boar. If no boar are currently on the map, the next X boar to appear will all be grand tusks, where X is the number of units killed by the Trotter.)

the Boarskin Coat (when you attack boars, they don't get first attack, they get two attacks on their first counterattack)

The Shield of Earth (the army wielding this is considered to have +1 defence at the start of every combat, as if they were siege defenders)

Ayes: Sundering Claw (assign a scout to crack open a permanent path through any adjacent mountain. 25% chance to call a hostile dragon to the location)

Thornish Crown (when owned by someone of Thornish heritage, one Thornish Holdout will join your cause at the start of each turn (+1 army production); when owned by an Alkabrian or other, becomes the preferential target for all Thornish attacks until the crown is reclaimed. Doesn't count towards Anathema count.)


Bockhoven: Golden Net (A scout carrying this across water has a 25% chance of rolling on the treasure table)

Moonlight's Edge (Roll extra attack dice equal to the anathema value of the opponent's artefacts (ordinarily 1 each) in the tile before combat begins)

Hedgeblade (One unit gains +7 attack, but there's a 75% chance the unit will be targeted by any given enemy attack until the unit dies.

Soul Nexus (Once per turn, if someone attacks a castle containing the Soul Nexus and a Bloodforge, three human attackers will be sacrificed at the start of each combat to the Bloodforge, if possible. Worth five anathema. Found in the Crimson Tower.)

Black Toad (Cursed item: cannot be destroyed, sacrificed, gifted or traded. Whoever defeats an army wielding Black Toad will gain the Black Toad.) (The Black Toad afixes itself to one unit, and will permanently turn all other units in the same tile on the same side as the Black Toad into toads. Only appears through sacrifice.)

Rhuddy Cape (the unit this is assigned to is now considered a giant)

The Wolf Crystal (wolves encountered will join the army instead (they still all run away when injured)

Watchtower plans (Can build Watchtowers for 10 stone. Watchtowers allow defenders to attack first during the first round of a seige, and owner gets a hill report. Doesn't count towards anathema count)

the Speculator's Rod (a scout scouting an empty hill that they own, has 25% chance to discover a quarry. They instead find a mine if the hill is adjacent to a mountain. The same tile cannot be scouted in this way more than once per turn.)

Whiptide Sail (one boat or ship can travel twice as far.)

Vulk: the Last Femur! (1/4 chance of each dead unit being resurrected to your side as a skeleton warrior when they die)

Cat Sack (defeated Bog Cats are put in the Cat Sack instead of being killed if the Cat Sack is held by the winning force. These cats are owned but unfriendly, and any number can be released by an army in any combat, or let loose by a scout in any tile.)

Prince FitzHarbort: Ascupart's Bane (unit has +2 dice vs giants).

Marrowfat Shield (whichever unit is given the shield will be last to be attacked in any combat. Sacred to the Squelsh, any non-Squelsh who takes the Shield gains +30 reprisal chance and +60 if they destroy, sacrifice or otherwise remove the Shield from the county.)

Sent to the King:
Hunter's Stand (Archers in the army this is attached to only die on 5s if no other units remain)

Marrowfat Throne (when owned by someone of Squelsh heritage, one Squelsh defector will join your cause at the start of each turn (+1 army production) and adjacent Squelsh armies will join your attacks on non-Squelsh; when owned by an Alkabrian or other, +30 reprisal chance, +100 reprisal chance if destroyed.)

Pellucid Orb (+1 to scout travel distance)

Cragman's Spike (a scout may pass through mountains)

Thornish Lodestone (while this remains in the Hedge, whenever no Thornish fort is on the map, another fort is revealed in a sector usually far from the owner of this artefact (most distant of two rolls)

Spoiler: Known Unique Sites (click to show/hide)

A6 is The Knuckle Yard - Ritual death ring of the Squelsh natives. Owner may choose at any time to close down the yard (+20 reprisal chance). While operational: +2 income, if possible, two Barbarians from two different random squares will leave their post to fight at the start of each enemy phase, one one will return a Squelsh Champion (counts as two units, +1 to its attacks).

E7 and K1 are the Walking Stone Circles - A pair of sites. They are considered adjacent: units can walk from one to the other across the map. Each is initially defended by three giants. They will let anyone pass through both tiles unharmed in a turn as if they were owned by the traveller, for 1 gold per unit passing (if they do so, they won't join a monster march). Gold accumulates on the first stone circle passed through. Enemies always find the gold for it.

F11 is Lake Sorrow.

F12 is The Grove of Tusks - Holy place of the Squelsh - This is a forest. Whoever owns this has a +50% chance of being attacked each turn by Squelsh, who will target the Grove. Special Action: a scout can be sent to the grove to make a sacrificial offering (worth 10 gold) to make peace with the Squelsh, setting their chance to reprisals to 0. This only works for people who don't own the Grove.

G3 is Yawing Crevice (A desolate crack in the earth. Artefacts may be destroyed by a scout or army throwing it into the crevice. Doing so releases a tanglebat, which will attack anyone present at the time, including scouts. Doing so also grants a permanent -2 anathema score. Only appears in WW.)

G7 is is Toad Pond - Marshland - (5 toads live here (toads don't march and don't have special abilities).)
Spoiler: Toad Pond (click to show/hide)
 Artefacts may be sacrificed into the pond by scouts in exchange for one of the five Toad Artefacts, which don't appear outside of sacrifices.
When all Toad Artefacts have appeared the Golden Toad will bless the Pond and grant each visiting Lord who sends a scout a one-time unique boon: (Pick one of the following. Doesn't work if another Lord has picked the same boon, or you've already had a boon: 1. -40 debt; 2. transform all your toads back into their original forms; 3. return to you one sacrificed, destroyed or removed-from-county artefact of your choice; 4. conquer any unoccupied known tile on the map; 5. transform one unit anywhere on the map into a toad; 6. fix a castle or fort to full wall health; 7. remove a curse from any one artefact; 8. Gain 5 gold, 5 stone, 5 wood, 5 bows, 5 siege engines, 5 toads)

G10 is Wolfhaven Woods - Forest. Spiritual home of wolf kind. Inhabited by 10d4 wolves (25). These wolves will only flee if less than 10 remain. Any wolves that would otherwise be loyal to a non-wolf, are loyal to the wolves in these woods. Wolves in this forest will never march on anywhere.

H6 is Lustre Mine - Hill. Grants +5 gold income. Protected by nine wisps (only found adjacent to mountains)

J4 is Wisp Lake, containing the Wellspring Staff.

L3 is The Prison of the Anathalord - Hill -  Defence (14/20) - The Anathalord, a powerful Bone Reckoner, is stuck within a near-impregnable prison (only attack rolls of 8+ may damage the cage (and not him), and he cannot attack from within it). If the Anathalord ever gets loose, all existing skeletal units would crumble and reconstitute by his side (as a one-time effect). The Anathalord can gain Anathema. The Anathalord carries the Last Femur [Doghorn], the Bonemeal Shield, the Rip Cage, the Dreadskull and Fleshbane (or random artefacts for any already discovered). Only found in WW, full-mountain or ocean tiles. Nearby monster marches can seek to free the Anathalord if the prison is as close or closer than a normal target.

L4 is the Sunken Library - Lair containing a library (that works the same as a normal library) and a Scriptorium (Once per turn, you may duplicate a Plan artefact). A place for students of the forbidden rites, only Bloodsingers and Bone Reckoners will appear here. It starts with 1d4 [1] Bloodsingers with artefacts [Black Dog], 1d4 Bone Reckoners [4], 1d4+3 [5] Skeletal Warriors and 1d4 [3] Skeletal Archers. Once this is revealed, Bloodsingers who flee combat will go here, including any still alive on the map having fled a previous combat. Bloodsingers and Bone Reckoners and their minions won't march from here. Only in WW.

L5 is Lake Longing - (Water makes this tile impassible except by boat or ship. Spills over onto adjacent tiles. Won't spawn on a coast.)

L6 is Hogland Hollow - Forest. Inhabited by 3d6 Boar. While it is unconquered, at the end of any turn when there is less than 10 boars in this forest, 1d4 more boar will appear. Your scout withdraws to safety.

O8 is The Hag Market. Marshland. Protected by 9 bog hags and 27 bog cats. Scouts can be sent to the market to buy bog cats (4 gold each) and otherwise may pass through without being attacked. Half the money spent here remains as possible loot. Friendly bog cats have +1 attack in marshland, and while you have a cat, they give -1 (non-cumulative) to enemy attack rolls. Cats cannot be sent to scout, and they cannot be send to attack or patrol by themselves. Monsters won't march from this location."

R3 is The Castle of Bryn the Brawn (Keep/Tower/Tower) Defence 21/21, occupied by Bryn, a giant, and his family, three more giants. The adjacent squares are also within his domain. Bryn will wage war to retake any squares adjacent to his castle, always accompanied in battle by 1d6 wolves.

R10 is the Scout Hut - Initially abandoned and inhabited by a family of 6 boar. Up to three armies can be assigned to the Hut as if it were a fort and they don't count towards your army cap. These armies can scout so long at they begin scouting from a tile adjacent to the hut. Spend 3 wood to dismantle and reassemble the hut on an empty tile you own.

T3 is The Moot - Village with 2d2 (2+1=3) Squelsh Barbarians and a moat (6/6 defense). It is the neutral meeting place of rival Squelsh bands. At the start of each enemy turn, each tile with a Squelsh Barbarian has a 25% chance of sending someone to the Moot. The first Squelsh reprisal each turn will be joined by whomever is in the Moot. If the Moot is conquered, a new Moot (with a new moat) will appear in the most populous Squelsh-held village at the start of the next player turn, or if there are no such villages, it may appear in future tile generation (from scouting, research etc.).

T11 is Hero's Tor - Hill Fort (Steep Path: Siege Engines cannot assail this hill) (9/9). An ageing Squelsh Champion (counts as two units, +1 to its attacks) with the Bloody Standard (+1 all attack rolls) sits in retirement in this fort, with his retinue of 6 Squelsh Barbarians, and two pet wisps.
