Upon the banks of the great river stood a hill crowned with the ruins of an elder age.
Weathered stairs climbed beneath ancient trees, passing broken arches and the fallen likenesses of forgotten kings. At the summit rested a seat of stone, raised long ago for those who kept watch over the western lands.
There, at the waning of an age, a weary company came seeking rest.
They had journeyed far through shadow and peril, bound together by courage and a purpose greater than any one among them. Yet beneath the silent boughs, doubt took root, and the burden they carried began to weigh upon even the noblest heart.
While their fellowship wavered, the enemy drew near.
Iron-shod feet thundered through the woods, and cruel voices rang among the ruins. Battle came swiftly beneath the ancient trees.
Though one valiant guardian stood against the oncoming host, fighting beyond hope and beyond strength, even his final defiance could not preserve what had already begun to break.
When the clash of arms had faded, the company was no more.
Only broken stone and fallen leaves remained upon the hill—silent witnesses to the ruin of their fellowship.
Chronicles of the Westward
Chronicles of the Westward is a terrain series inspired by the oldest and most enduring legends of fantasy.
It is a tribute to the tales that shaped the genre—stories of wandering heroes, fallen kingdoms, steadfast companions, and the long shadows cast by ancient evils.
Each release explores these timeless themes through an original lens: from solitary ruins watching over forgotten roads, to vast halls buried beneath the mountains, and ancient monuments standing silent beside river and woodland.
Though its spirit may feel familiar, every structure and detail is newly imagined—crafted to evoke the grandeur, mystery, and weight of those timeless tales.
Whether you seek to echo the legends of old or forge new chronicles of your own, Chronicles of the Westward offers a world worth exploring.
What Awaits upon the Ruins of Fellowship
Journey to an ancient hill of watch, where weathered ruins stand between river and woodland.
This collection includes buildings, terrain pieces, and scatter objects designed to create four distinct scenes from the final days of a fateful journey.
The Riverside Resting Place — a quiet shore where a weary company draws its boats from the great river and takes shelter among the ruins.
The Northern Stair — broken steps and ancient arches climbing through the forest, watched over by the fallen likenesses of forgotten kings.
The Seat of Far Sight — a stone monument raised upon the heights, from which distant lands and gathering shadows may be seen.
The Guardian’s Last Stand — a woodland battlefield where one valiant warrior makes his final stand against an oncoming host.
Together, these scenes form a complete journey across the hill—from the stillness of the riverbank to the place where fellowship is broken.
Recreate a legendary passage through the ruins, or rearrange its buildings, terrain, and scatter to forge new adventures of your own.
