In related news, the digital edition of Talisman gets an update this weekend in the form of the Firelands expansion, where heroes embark on an adventure to seek the fabled Crown of Command…

A Nomad’s Tale



What happened during my quest for the Crown of Command can barely be recounted, so arduous and ludicrous my journey now seems. We are lucky to be blessed with many lives should our quest fail, for I must tell you, if you ever meet the Man of the Sea, make haste to the nearest Inn before the old man follows you around and bores you to death with his inane ramblings.

There is a massive Sentinel guarding the passage to the cursed glade, and ultimately the Valley of Fire and Crown of Command. After weeks of searching for a way past the incredible might of the Titan, trying to construct a raft or find some other path across, something magical happened. No, that’s not hyperbole – I was staring at the Sentinel, weighing in my head if I was strong enough to defeat him, when he disappeared. In his absence there quickly grew a forest, vines and trees and undergrowth rising from the earth as if compelled by some deity.

I waited a time to make sure the behemoth was truly gone, and pressed on into the forest to find a portal. Scared, but with more fear that the Sentinel might return, I stepped through to find myself in the Cursed Glade itself. It is here that I happened upon an Ifrit, a creature you do not wish to meet on any day. I was able to vanquish him, barely, and only just escaped the Cursed Glade as I watched it engulfed in flames by the charred and burning corpse of my foe. I turned to head back through the portal, but in the distance I could see that the nearby chapel too was in ashes. The Ifrits from the Firelands had been spreading their conflagration in my wake. The only benefit I could imagine was that the others seeking the Crown of Command would also be hampered by their destruction.

I wandered on, eventually meeting a Warlock who offered me the Talisman I needed to pass into the Valley of Fire if I were to give him 3 gold. I was thankful then for the gold I procured when I bested the Dervish in combat weeks prior. With my Talisman in hand, I ventured on to the gates of the Valley of Fire… only to be met by a Wizard with a very displeased look on his face. Before I could even speak, perchance to convince him that we should work together, I found the world growing in tremendous size before me. Only, so too was the Wizard. No, they were not growing – I was shrinking, and I suddenly had a taste for flies. The Wizard had turned me into a toad.

Unable to carry my things, I watched as the Wizard laughed, made off with my armor, my sword, and my remaining gold. The fool had left the Talisman behind. But I was stuck hopping around and ribbiting in the mud…

You tell me, how did I manage to become human again? Was my Talisman waiting for me when I did? To answer these questions and more, you’re going to have to go on your own Magical Quest. Me? I have a Crown to claim.
