We have heard from some adventurers they would like to learn more about the world of the Five Islands, the figures who shaped it and the events that unfolded in history. With the Easter long weekend coming up, for those who would like to explore our lore we unveil a tale of Gods and Goddesses, battles of epic scales and historical intrigue.

The Archiver presents the newest edition to the compendium of lore works, The Gods War and The Grand Return - The Archivers History of Fables. This sits alongside our Origins of the Five Islands and the Five Islands Bestiary (1st Edition) lore documents. All of these documents can be found on our discord page in the lore channel (linked in our about section here on Facebook).

What does this mean for players: for those interested in embodying the world of Five Islands, there are now more deities to worship or invoke (as well as the freedom to come up with some yourself) and themes to channel within your kits! Games will now possibly be set in the new era's identified at the bottom of the history which may lead to new shenanigans. However, for those players who are more focused on practicing their blade work than reading the lore, this won't impact you.

We hope you enjoy these tales and stay tuned for more lore updates and our upcoming Easter Game event.

And that's a wrap on Battlecry Five Islands for 2025, a big year filled with events at Geek Markets and Shellcon Mania and many campaigns across the Five Islands. From last weeks Christmas game, the villagers of Moore-Kris were able to defeat the were-deer on the 25th night of raiding and saving their village!

For those adventurers who could not make our last game fear not, our glorious battles and dastardly plots on the Five Islands will return in mid-February 2026 so stay tuned for our next adventure!
