Law of Root
English
M.1 AUTUMN MAP
M.2 WINTER MAP
M.2.1
Raging River.
The river divides forests (as printed paths do).
M.3 LAKE MAP (UNDERWORLD)
M.3.1
Setup Modifications.
Place the Ferry piece in the corner clearing that is also a coastal clearing.
M.3.2
The Lake.
The lake is in the center of the map. The lake is treated as rivers linking each coastal clearing to each other coastal clearing. The lake divides forests.
M.3.3
Coastal Clearings.
Clearings touching the lake (not separated by a forest) are coastal clearings.
M.3.4
Coastal Forests.
Forests touching the lake are coastal forests. Each coastal forest is adjacent to its two neighboring coastal forests (separated by one coastal clearing).
M.3.5
The Ferry.
Once per turn, when moving from a clearing with the Ferry, you may move to another coastal clearing, ignoring paths. Move the Ferry along with the moving pieces. If faction pieces move, their player draws one card. (You still must rule the origin or destination clearing to use the Ferry, even with the Swimmers ability. If pieces of multiple factions move at the same time, each of their players draws a card.)
M.4 MOUNTAIN MAP (UNDERWORLD)
M.4.1
Setup Modifications.
Place the 6 closed path markers to cover the 6 paths of darker color with excavated ground. Place the Tower piece in the central clearing showing two towers.
M.4.2
Closed Paths.
A path covered with a closed path marker is a closed path. Clearings linked by a closed path are not adjacent, and pieces (such as Highway Bandits) cannot be placed on closed paths. Closed paths enclose and divide forests as if they were paths (so the Vagabond can slip across it).
M.4.3
Removing Closed Paths.
Once per turn in their Daylight, a player can spend a card to remove a closed path marker from the game permanently and score one victory point. To remove it, that player must have any faction pieces in either clearing linked by the closed path marker.
M.4.4
The Pass and Tower.
The clearing marked with the Tower piece is the pass. At the end of a player's Evening, if that player rules the Pass, that player scores one victory point.
M.4.5
Forests.
All areas on the mountain map enclosed by paths and clearings are forests, regardless of the presence or placement of trees within.
M.5 MARSH MAP (HOMELAND)
M.5.1
Setup Modification.
Follow the subsection based on your player count. Then, place 2 ruins in the "R" slots with no numbers and 2 ruins in the "R" slots with the lowest showing numbers.
I
1–4 Players.
Cover a total of 3 flooding clearings with flood markers—one light green, one dark green, and one brown. Align the flood markers' paths so that they match up with paths touching the marker.
II
5+ Players.
Place the Mousehold, Foxburrow, and Rabbittown landmarks in the three unsuited clearings. (You can still place other landmarks as normal.)
M.5.2
Flooded Clearings.
A flooded clearing is no longer a clearing. Instead it only contains one or more paths, and may include flooded paths. Clearings linked by any number of non-flooded paths in these clearings are adjacent.
I
Flooded Paths.
Flooded paths are not linked to the other paths, but they enclose and divide forests as if they were paths (so the Vagabond can slip across it).
II
Placing on Paths.
Pieces that can be placed on paths (such as Highway Bandits) can be placed on any non-flooded path in the clearing, but not the point where its paths link.
M.6 GORGE MAP (HOMELAND)
M.6.1
The Dam.
The dam separates the forests under it.
M.6.2
The Bridge.
The bridge does not separate the forests under it.
M.6.3
Gorge Sides.
The gorge sides do not separate the forests they are in.
