Forsaken Lore

The first card-only expansion for Eldritch Horror. Requires the core set to play.

*[...] Over a billion years ago, the elder things descended from space and built enormous cities. Hundreds of millions of years after that, the Great Race of Yith projected their minds into strange conical beings and used their advanced technology to catalog knowledge throughout time. The serpent people were once the undisputed rulers of the world, even using their mastery of science and sorcery to subjugate early humans. [...] Their stories are known to only a few. The knowledge of these species has been kept from humanity, and yet, within these lost stories lays the only hope for the survival of mankind. To protect this world from the imminent threat of the Ancient One, a few brave investigators must uncover this forsaken lore.*

## Expansion Overview

### From the rulesheet

*In the Forsaken Lore expansion, what the investigators previously thought they understood was all an illusion. Now the Ancient Ones have grown in power and stand ready to breach into our world.*

This expansion includes a new Ancient One, Yig, as well as new Mystery cards for the existing Ancient Ones, hundreds of new stories to encounter, and new Artifacts, Assets, and Spells for investigators to wield against the Ancient Ones.

### Mechanics

This expansion does not introduce any new mechanics and is the only one which does not contain any new investigators. Instead, it contains a lot of content tied to the base box, enhancing replayability with Encounter cards and upgrading the existing Ancient Ones.

Each card in this expansion is marked with the  **Forsaken Lore** expansion icon at the bottom-left corner. Non-card components aren't marked with this icon.
