A one-time bannerman in the Qing army, Yelu (The Boar) is a brutal, unforgiving, and dastardly adversary who shapes the entire City of Smoke region during, and after the floods. This expanded short storybook written by writer/artist Steven Wu, is the personal logbook of the iconic villain, The Boar. With pages of personal entries traversing the time leading up to The Silt Road campaign when you first encounter The Boar, his logbook will provide you with a compelling backstory that immerses you in the hellscape you find yourself in. Learn what drove this once prestigious commander into the depths of madness.

This exciting supplement created for Fists & Fiends provides players and gamemasters with a fun Player versus Player (PVP) format. A way to practice, fight, and earn experience points (XP) without the life-terminating dangers of The Silt Road. GMs can referee these matches, or players can team up on their own to battle it out. Learn everything you need to run a tournament or sparring sessions for your characters to level up.
