The deeper Spirits of vulcanism are too powerful and slow, too removed to respond to the Invaders − but not so this one. An Explosive Eruption splits the sky and the island is empowered by wellsprings of elemental essence. The fifth phase of Jagged Earth content is now available with a new Spirit and Scenario.



Volcano Looming High: A Spirit of fire and earth stretching upwards to the sky, casting a long and dangerous shadow across the land. It doesn’t dislike humans per se, but neither does it have much use for them, so the Dahan tend to keep away from it as much as possible. However, they sometimes end up dealing with its temper whether they want to or not…

Elemental Invocation: The Spirits can call forth wellsprings of essence to empower small areas of the island, strengthening and aligning nature with a particular element. This is fortunate, for the Invaders are encroaching more strongly than before.

No additional purchase is required; you will gain access to the new content with your existing purchase of Jagged Earth.

A siren song fills your ears, and you feel a distant beckoning. Can you resist the lure toward the Home of the Island's Heart? The fourth phase of Jagged Earth content is now available with a new Spirit and Scenario.



Lure of the Deep Wilderness: A few wanderers have spoken, in voices of wonder mingled with fear, of finding the Spirit that called them ever-further inland. But most never even saw it, only felt its distant beckoning.

The Great River: The island is vast, and the Invaders are firmly entrenched in its western lands. They now seek to push east across a mighty river and open up a new frontier. Can the Spirits hold them back?
