The ghastly Vistani crone reaches for the Tarokka deck with withered hands, bangles clattering down her bony arms. She draws a card and stares at its telltale face in the guttering candle’s glow. The old woman gazes ominously at the reading as a frigid draft wafts through the creaking room, extinguishing the candles one by one.

As darkness encroaches, the woman’s rheumy eyes widen at the sight of wispy tendrils drifting across the worn floorboards. The portent is clear—the Mists approach once more, eager to claim new victims. These poor souls will roam the Domains unprotected, at the mercy of the Dark Powers’ cruel whims. They can only hope their sanity withstands the terrors ahead… should they survive at all.

THE HIGH DECK

Mischievous fiends and angelic spirits serve the cruel whims of a demented child as a mysterious Tutor watches on. Witness the unsettling consequences of a mother's twisted love for her son.

On a lush, twisted jungle island, the line between man and beast is terrifyingly erased. Predatory creatures, their cunning sentience a testament to some hidden, dark intellect, roam freely. Amidst the blood-curdling calls of the transformed, the wilds are humid with dread.

In the ghostly remnants of a once resplendent city, time is a distorted mirror, reflecting the anguish of a past forever trapped in its final, catastrophic moments. A ruler's disastrous ambition and the collective heartbreak of their people has left the realm eternally fragmented.

In the entropic realm of Darkon, disintegrating into the void left by its departed former darklord, the encroaching Shroud and the oppressive Kargat sow paranoia and fear. Amidst the chaos, the spectral figure of Azalin’s Shadow emerges, its inscrutable intentions a chilling mystery.

An insane asylum stands as a grim monument to madness. Finding yourself bound in a restraining jacket when the Mists brought you here, you must first free yourself from your claustrophobic cell. The race to escape leads through the labyrinthine corridors of a sanitarium run by a deranged overseer and his masked staff.

THE EXECUTIONER

In the sun-scorched domain of Pharazia, a kingdom of warm deserts and ancient curses, the death knell tolls for the condemned. Amidst the sandy tombs and haunting specters of a civilization past, the line between justice and vengeance wavers. Unjust accusations carry in the wind, their chilling resonance a grim testament to the executioner's unchecked power.

Welcome to Mordent, a realm shrouded in the haunting echoes of its past. Here, ancient tragedies refuse to be forgotten, and the restless dead wander the mist-laden moors and crumbling estates. This is a place where the living coexist with the specters of history, where every shadow holds a secret, and every breeze carries the laments of those long gone.

The Rider's Bridge

On the forsaken Rider's Bridge, a dark figure rides, its headless form a ghastly sight that mocks the notion of life. The horseman's relentless pursuit of its own severed head drives it forward, fueled by a maddening hunger. Those who cross its path are doomed to suffer the same unholy fate: to be torn asunder, their very essence extinguished, and their lineage forever silenced.

In the monochrome confines of the Vhage Agency, a case of a missing child sends ripples through the gray. Amid memory loss and spectral clues, the agents are tasked with a search that delves deeper into mystery. Their mission: to find the innocent caught in the maddening maze of another’s past.

In Odiare, it is the marionette Maligno who pulls the strings. Created by the toymaker Guiseppe, he turned on the adults who feared him, using living toys to eliminate them. Now, only children remain, oblivious to their puppet master’s grip, living under his watch as they unknowingly act out his dark and twisted whims.

Stranded amidst the storm-ravaged Sea of Sorrows, the adventurers are offered a lifeline by Captain Pietra van Riese of the zombie-crewed ship, The Relentless. The price for their safety? The beard of the haunted Bluebeard, tormented endlessly by his wives in his spectral fortress. In the deceptive calm of the Mists, their journey promises not only a test of their courage but also their spirit.

Isle of the Ravens

A storm of ravens obscures an island shrouded in mystery and despair, where an impossibly tall tower pierces the sky. Amid the feathered chaos, a nameless Lady, her sight stolen by the very creatures she once controlled, is haunted by her forgotten past. In this eerie realm, memory is the key to salvation, and the line between tormentor and companion blurs in the ceaseless cawing of the raven storm.

The Nightmare Lands

In the unreal, phantasmagoric realm of the Nightmare Lands, dreams warp into a twisted reality and sleep becomes a perilous snare. Amid the malicious wilderness, the deserted city of Nod, and spheres of unending nightmares, the elusive Nightmare Court — each a living horror birthed from a sleeping psychic's subconscious — reigns. Will the psychic awaken to confront the terror she has unleashed or will the realm remain forever a labyrinth of dread?

Step right up to the Carnival, a place where whimsical wonders mask a much darker game. Succumb to the allure of Isolde's traveling domain, but beware — each laugh, each gasp, each cheer feeds into a grander scheme. Who is the puppet, and who pulls the strings? Discover the unsettling truth as the Carnival's true master weaves a web of deceit and dark ambition.
