We are delighted to reveal the third batch of paintings that Michael Syrigos delivered for Before All Others. Michael has outdone himself in this book, delivering some of the best work of his career, and we couldn't be happier to have him illustrating the Auran Empire.

There are, in fact, a LOT of exclamation points in this newsletter! I probably should drink less coffee late at night.

Türos Tem, the main fortress in AX1 Sinister Stone of Sakkara, is a noble fort fit for a great legate... but someone in the ACKS Discord just called it Temu Tirith and they have ruined its majesty forever 😭

Replying to @_Autarch_
@_Autarch_ The Barbarian class in ACKS II has a special ability that allows them to reroll Grievous Wounds Table results. In practical terms that lessens the effect of falling in battle and incentivizes charging pell-mell into combat. An outstanding mechanic.
