For nine years, King Thrain has waged a devastating war with the orcs of the Misty Mountains, in vengeance for the death of his father Thrór – possibly influenced by the ring he wears, the last of the Dwarf-rings from long-dead Sauron. Now Thrain is preparing for a potentially devastating final push at the gates of Moria, which may kill off much of what remains of your people.

As his family and subjects, you have determined to push forth from the safety of your homes, make your way to the front line, and pull him back from his madness - stopping the war. The way is long and none will support your journey, but it must be undertaken for the survival of your people.

This is a Savage Worlds event set in Middle Earth, with characters who are more ordinary people on an extraordinary quest.

Inspired by games like Ankh, Game of Thrones, Kemet, and Scythe, Emissary stands out with its ZERO randomness, heavy focus on strategic decision making, and a unique diplomacy track. Perfect for fans of 'decision salad' type games with a unique historical setting. The game takes place over the final 10 years of the Warring States period (230 BCE - 221 BCE). Each player will assume control of one of the 7 states fighting for control of China (Qin, Qi, Chu, Wei, Yan, Zhao, Han) or the vicious barbarians to the north (Xiongnu). Players will issue orders (via multi-use cards) to their armies or use cards in combat.
