Facedown if Hidden, faceup if Revealed.ĥ. Draw one Ending card and place it on the Crown of Command space. After rolling, remove the unused Hidden or Revealed Ending cards from the Ending deck and shuffle the deck. Roll a die to determine if the ending will be Revealed or Hidden.

To this very day, the ancient legend draws gallant heroes to the troubled land – each seeking the Crown of Command and the kingship of the realm of Talisman. Hundreds of years have passed, and the realm, long ungoverned and unprotected, has grown ever more dangerous, becoming infested by monsters and troubled by innumerable evils. Once he had done so, he perished, proclaiming with his dying breath that only a champion with the strength, wisdom, and courage to take his crown would rule in his stead. He resolved to hide his crown in the most perilous part of the most dangerous region in his realm, setting around it such fearsome guardians as his most powerful spells were able to command.

For many centuries the wizard reigned supreme until, after a long life spent amongst his books and spells, he sensed his days were drawing to an end. Our story begins with a mighty wizard, now long dead, who once ruled over the land of Talisman using the power of a magical crown, forged in the Valley of Fire by spirits cruelly enslaved to arcane magic.
