V
Scenarios
As war ravages the land, these ley lines have been harnessed
by the armies of western Immoren or polluted by their
conflicts with greater frequency than ever before. The
damage done to these rivers of supernatural power should
be healing . . . but in some places it is not.
Rituals
ital rivers of natural power known as ley lines flow
beneath the face of Caen. Many of western Immoren’s
warring factions—from the ancient and enigmatic Circle
Orboros to the cold and calculating Convergence of Cyriss—
draw upon the energy of the ley lines to strengthen their armies.
The recent rise in draconic activity has resulted in new
outbreaks of blight across western Immoren. For reasons
known only to them, the dragons have begun to leave lasting
scars across the face of Caen, obliterating anything that
stands in their way.
You have reached the final area to be devastated by
the dragons’ malevolence. Already a naturally hostile
environment, this dense swamp has been turned utterly toxic
by the foul touch of Blighterghast.
Gather your troops and march into battle, befriending those
who share your ideals and defeating any who would oppose
you. Will you be an altruistic Purist, seeking to restore
balance and harmony to this land, or will you be a selfish
Opportunist, seeking only to secure your own profits at the
expense of others?
The choice is yours.
Players can randomly select a scenario before each game by
rolling 2d6 and using the table in the “Scenarios” section of
the Scars of Caen core rules. Alternatively, players can simply
agree on a scenario to play. Note that the Ley Chart sometimes
dictates which scenario to use for a specific region.
Rituals are unique challenges that players can complete for
additional league points. A player can earn bonus points
from a Ritual only once per season and can complete Rituals
only for their current global team. See the “Rituals” section in
the Scars of Caen core rules for more details. The Rituals for
this season are described below.

Though legal for all league games throughout their season,
season models are not legal models for use during the other
seasons or outside the Scars of Caen league.
A season model gains either the Purist ability or the Opportunist
ability listed on its card depending on the player’s team
allegiance, except in the case of the Circle Orboros season
models. Rochlof and Waykeeper Caelyn—unique characters
from the Scars of Caen storyline—can be included in an army
only if the player’s team allegiance matches the model’s
Paragon ability. Rochlof can only be included in an Opportunist
player’s Circle army and must be represented in the game by a
Circle Orboros Pureblood Warpwolf model. Waykeeper Caelyn
can only be included in a Purist player’s Circle army and must
be represented by a Circle Orboros Blackclad Wayfayer model.
Stat cards for season models can be found online at

Map Regions
The Ley Chart is the league map for Scars of Caen. Before each
game, players determine which map region they are fighting
over. The player with the lowest league score chooses the
region. In the case of a tie, roll a d6 to determine who chooses.
When games are completed, in addition to scoring league
points, players should also inform the EO when they win a
game and which region they were fighting over. The EO then
reports this information using the online Ley Chart.
Each region has a different effect on the battles that take place
there. These effects are static; they do not change during the
course of the league. When fighting in a region, be sure you
know what additional rules are in effect for that region.
Region 1: The Muck
Leading into the heart of the swamp is a treacherous path
through blighted quagmires and toxic bogs. The poisonous
mud here is packed with not only Blighterghast’s corruption
but also the many corpses of those foolish enough to
traverse this death trap.
All games played here must use Blighterghast Scenario 1:
Choke Point.
Region 2: Choking Hazard
Here the blighted ground belches enormous clouds of
poisonous smoke into the air. Drifting slowly through the
swamp, this thick smoke never dissipates. Turmoil and battle
in this region only cause these clouds to spread further.
Without proper precautions, no creature can survive for long.
All models lose Immunity: Corrosion . On a critical hit with
a melee or ranged attack, the model directly hit suffers the
Corrosion continuous effect . Models suffering the Corrosion
continuous effect also suffer –2 STR and DEF.
Games played here cannot use the Choke Point or Nightmare
Scenario scenarios.
Region 3: Altar of Kossk
Hidden deep within the swamp is a crude stone altar
dedicated to Kossk, the deity revered by the gatormen. No
mere passive tribute to the god, this structure is primarily
used for ritual sacrifice in his name. Now this region has
become a volatile mix of Blighterghast’s corruption, dark and
twisted spirits, and crazed blighted gatormen.
Region 4: Blighterghast’s Scar
For reasons known only to him, Blighterghast plunged deep
into the soft earth of the swamp at this site like a bird of
prey diving for the kill. What was once an unremarkable
moor that happened to lie above a ley line nexus has been
transformed into an unnatural and noxious landscape. The
crater left by Blighterghast’s impact quickly filled with fetid
fluids, creating a deep, dangerous lake. Soon this lake’s
waters turned into a black tar, and the ground nearby began
to ooze liquid poison like a bleeding sore. Every living thing
within half a mile of the lake has since fallen over dead.
Now both Purists and Opportunists have arrived to gather
a sample of the black tar for further study.
You can use the Black Tar Pool terrain feature in this region.
This feature represents a small pocket of tar located a short
distance from the lake. A Black Tar Pool is considered shallow
water. Any model that begins or ends its activation in a Black
Tar Pool suffers a POW 15 magical damage roll, gains Berserk
for the remainder of the game, and cannot be healed or have
damage removed from it for the remainder of the game.
(When a model with Berserk destroys one or more models
with a melee attack during its combat action, immediately
after the attack is resolved it must make one additional melee
attack against another model in its melee range.)
Purist players have taken measures to ensure that the black tar
does not blight the soldiers gathering it or the arcanists they
return the samples to. Purist players can nominate one friendly
Faction non-warcaster, non-warlock warrior model/unit to
gain Pathfinder
for the duration of the game. This model/
unit is immune to the effects and damage of the Black Tar Pool.
Opportunist players are willing to use the black tar to their
advantage, even in combat. They have prepared for battle
by painting some of their more resilient soldiers with the
tar. Opportunist players can nominate one friendly Faction
non-warcaster, non-warlock warrior model/unit to gain
Berserk (see above) and +2 STR for the duration of the game.
This model/unit begins the game affected by the Corrosion
continuous effect .
Games played here cannot use the Choke Point or Nightmare
Scenario scenarios.
All games played here must use Blighterghast Scenario 2:
Nightmare Scenario.
3
Region 5: The Lady’s Mystery
Inexplicably, an Ordic steamboat known as The Lady’s Coin
juts from the muck of the swamp like a breaching whale frozen
in position. None of the local waterways could possibly have
allowed the boat to reach this section of the swamp naturally.
Further investigation shows that not only did this steamboat
come to rest here very recently, but its cargo holds are filled
with military-grade weapons and armor, some of which have
spilled out into the swamp.
During their activation, light and heavy warjacks and warbeasts
can forfeit their action to search the swamp for goods. Whenever
a model searches, roll 2d6. On a roll of 8 or greater, the model
finds a useful item from the steamboat. Warjacks can spend
focus and warbeasts can be forced to boost this roll.
When a Purist warjack or warbeast finds an item, place a
token on a warrior model within 3˝ of the warjack or warbeast.
This model gains +1 DEF and ARM for one round. Multiple
tokens on the same model provide a cumulative bonus.
When an Opportunist warjack or warbeast finds an item, place
a token on a warrior model within 3˝ of the warjack or warbeast.
This model gains +1 STR and MAT for one round. Multiple
tokens on the same model provide a cumulative bonus.
Games played here cannot use the Choke Point, Nightmare
Scenario, or Impure Evil scenarios.
Region 6: The Old Ravager
Not yet done with his business here, Blighterghast himself is
still prowling this region of the swamp. Only death awaits
those foolhardy enough to approach.
All games played here must use Blighterghast Scenario 3:
Impure Evil.
Region 7: The Flatland
Just outside the bottleneck of The Muck lies a flat, dry patch
of land where the few survivors of battles in the nearby
swamp can rest and mourn their dead. There is no true
respite here, however, as your enemies also seek to lick their
wounds in the same safe haven. There is no game effect for
playing in this region.
Games played here cannot use the Choke Point, Nightmare
Scenario, or Impure Evil scenarios.

Blighterghast Scenario 1:
choke point
Summary: The only passable entrance into the heart
of the swamp requires your army to traverse a narrow
obstacle course of deep mud, stagnant water, thick trees,
and grasping roots—all of which have begun to show the
degrading effects of dragon blight.
The zone is contested by a player if he owns at least one
model within the zone that is not a warcaster or warlock, an
inert warjack or wild warbeast, a fleeing model, or a model
out of formation. If multiple players would score in the same
turn, only the active player scores.
When placing terrain, players can use only shallow water,
forests, rough terrain, and linear obstacles. We recommend
using at least twelve terrain features for this scenario. Both
players have a deployment zone of 10˝ and an advance
deployment of 16˝.
Whenever a model begins its activation within 1˝ of a terrain
feature, it becomes bogged down and suffers –1 SPD. Models
ignore this effect while within either zone.
Starting with the first player, each player can place a
12˝-diameter zone anywhere on the table that is not within
either player’s deployment zone or overlapping an already
placed enemy zone. The zone you place is considered the
enemy zone to your opponent.
Players cannot place additional terrain within 3˝ of any other
terrain feature.
Special Rules
Starting after the second player’s second turn, at the end
of each turn if a player owns a warcaster or warlock within
the enemy zone and no enemy models contest it, the player
scores 1 control point.
Purist players have made preparations to help them cross the
Choke Point quickly and safely. Models in a Purist army gain
Pathfinder
while within either zone.
Opportunist players see the blighted bog as another tool
to use to their advantage—a perfect way to cover their
tracks and leave their foes forgotten in the muck. When an
Opportunist model boxes an enemy model with an attack
and the enemy model is not within either zone, remove the
enemy model from play.
Victory Conditions
The first player to earn at least 4 control points and have more
control points than his opponent immediately wins the game.
A player wins if he has the only warcaster(s) or warlock(s)
remaining in play.

Blighterghast Scenario 2:
Nightmare Scenario
Summary: Caustic poison, evil spirits, and blighted
gatormen. What could go wrong?
Place an obstruction in the center of the table. The obstruction
should be no larger than 5˝ in length and width. This
obstruction represents the Altar of Kossk. Hobbyists are
encouraged to create their own obstruction for this scenario.
When placing terrain, players can use only shallow water,
forests, rough terrain, and linear obstacles. We recommend
using at least five terrain features for this scenario in addition
to the Altar of Kossk.
The first player has a deployment zone of 7˝ and an advance
deployment of 13˝. The second player has a deployment zone
of 10˝ and an advance deployment of 16˝.
Whenever the number of soul tokens on the Altar of Kossk
reaches a total of 10, 20, or 30, consult the following table and
resolve the effect immediately.
10 Souls
Blight Pulse: All models within 5˝ of the
Altar of Kossk immediately suffer the
Corrosion continuous effect .
20 Souls
Swamp Spirits: Starting with the active player,
each player rolls a d6 for each unit, solo,
warjack, and warbeast he controls in the order
he chooses. On a roll of 1, the model/unit is
immediately pushed 5˝ directly away from the
Altar of Kossk. When a unit is pushed, move
models farthest from the Altar first.
30 Souls
Spectral Gatormen: Remove all soul tokens
from the Altar of Kossk. Starting with the
active player, each player rolls a d6 for each
unit, solo, warjack, and warbeast he controls
within 5˝ of the Altar of Kossk in the order
he chooses. On a roll of 1, the model/unit
suffers a boosted POW 13 damage roll. Roll
damage separately for each model in a unit.
Players cannot place additional terrain within 3˝ of any other
terrain feature.
Special Rules
Starting after the second player’s second turn, at the end of
each turn if a player owns a warcaster or warlock within 1˝ of
the Altar of Kossk and no enemy models contest it, the player
scores 1 control point.
The Altar of Kossk is contested by a player if he owns at least
one model within 4˝ of the Altar that is not a warcaster or
warlock, an inert warjack or wild warbeast, a fleeing model,
or a model out of formation. If multiple players would score in
the same turn, only the active player scores.
Whenever a living model is destroyed, the Altar of Kossk gains
a soul token. No other models can gain soul tokens, regardless
of their proximity to the model destroyed. No spell, ability, or
effect can prevent the Altar from gaining souls.
Victory Conditions
The first player to earn at least 4 control points and have more
control points than his opponent immediately wins the game.
A player wins if he has the only warcaster(s) or warlock(s)
remaining in play.

Blighterghast Scenario 3:
Impure Evil
Summary: Blighterghast—the Seether, the Old Ravager,
the Boiler of Seas himself—is here. Your small, pathetic
battles have alerted him to your presence just enough
to annoy him. Run far and run fast: you cannot hope to
survive this.
When Blighterghast attacks, starting with the active player
each player chooses a point within the zone and deviates two
5˝ AOE templates from that point. Models in one or more
AOE templates suffer a boosted POW 10 blast damage roll
and the Disintegration continuous effect.
Place a 12˝-diameter zone in the center of the board. Both
players have a deployment zone of 10˝ and an advance
deployment of 16˝.
Disintegration continuous effect: Blighterghast’s terrible
breath causes a model to begin to disintegrate. The
Disintegration continuous effect deals d6 damage points
to the affected model each turn during its controller’s
Maintenance Phase until it expires.
When placing terrain, players can use only shallow water,
forests, rough terrain, and linear obstacles. We recommend
using at least six terrain features for this scenario.
Players cannot place additional terrain within 3˝ of any other
terrain feature.
Special Rules
Starting after the second player’s second turn, at the end of
each turn if a player owns a warcaster or warlock within the
zone and no enemy models contest it, the player scores 1
control point.
The zone is contested by a player if he owns at least one
model within the zone that is not a warcaster or warlock, an
inert warjack or wild warbeast, a fleeing model, or a model
out of formation. If multiple players would score in the same
turn, only the active player scores.
After resolving the AOEs, starting with the active player each
player chooses a single enemy non-warcaster, non-warlock
model to suffer a boosted POW 24 melee damage roll. Models
disabled by this damage cannot make tough rolls and are
removed from play.
Victory Conditions
The first player to earn at least 4 control points and have more
control points than his opponent immediately wins the game.
A player wins if he has the only warcaster(s) or warlock(s)
remaining in play.
At the beginning of each player’s turn, the player rolls a d6. If
the number rolled is less than the number of turns that have
passed since the last Blighterghast attack (see below), the
dragon takes notice and swoops over the battlefield to attack
everyone in sight. (When the game begins and on the turn
immediately following an attack by the dragon, it is considered
to have been 1 turn since the last Blighterghast attack.)
