About the game
No-one is certain how old the world of Valhalla truly is. It is a place filled with magic, knowledge, and ancient secrets. While the proud Valkyrie Generals fight to find and secure the Wellsprings, more common folk turn their attention to other impressive prizes: ancient artifacts of terrible power that can be uncovered in the most unlikely of places. With rewards ranging from blessings of strength to bolts of instant death, only a fool would pass up the opportunity to claim a glyph for themself. Expand your arsenal and battle for Valhalla with the Herp. Choose your scenario, build your battlefield, select your army, and fight to win! This is add-on content. A Battle Box and/or Master Set is required for Heroscape gameplay. 33 permanent and temporary glyphs, treasure glyphs, and ancient artifact glyphs including the Glyph of the Bolt of Witherwood!
