Weave-wide Event:
Discovery
Discovery is a worldwide narrative event set on the lost island of Concendia, located in Ghyran. Starting on the 24th of October and running till Christmas, join this wonderfully crafted campaign developed by the awesome people over at Narrative Labs.
You’ll be able to get involved by joining the inner circle of one of three explorers and help them uncover clues that will reveal the great secret of this lost land. Only one explorer will prevail… will you side with the mightiest warlord?
The Lost Isle of Concendia
Located in Ghyran, for centuries Cocendia was thought to be no more than a legend, a folk-tale. Heavily forested, but with great mountain peaks, legend said the island was a great haven for Slyvaneth until it vanished mysteriously. No-one even knew where it was located… until now.
A strange shroud has begun to recede off the coast of Cantike, and as it pulls back the lost island has been found once again. While initially only its coastline was revealed, the shroud is gradually shrinking unveiling more of the island. Its forests seem intact … mostly … but what secrets are held there and what caused the island to disappear centuries ago remain mysteries yet to be uncovered.
To this island a myriad collection of explorers venture. A mounted host of Soulblight Gravelords, the noble [depraved] men-at-arms [ghouls] of the Flesh-Eater Courts and the festering blight of Nurgle-worshipping Beasts of Chaos are but three of these explorers, all fated to clash in battle as they attempt to uncover the great mystery that lies at the heart of the island.
Accompanying each is an inner-circle of advisors, lieutenants and spies seeking to help their masters uncover the secrets of Concendia and ultimately claim whatever prize has been hidden for so long.
Get Involved
Below you’ll find more information on each of the three Explorers to help you decide who you’d like to side with.
Once you’ve made your decision, head over to Narrative Labs’ discord channel and under the Path to Glory category post your choice in the join-an-inner-circle channel. We’ll then give you access to the secret channels that will let you get access to the secret information available only to that explorer as they progress through the game. You’ll also be able to discuss your theories with the rest of the inner circle, and help the explorer decide on what narrative Path to Glory Quests they should embark upon to find out more information. You can even submit battle reports, hobby, stories and art to reflect how your own member of the inner circle seeks to spy on the other explorer’s progress via the Great Weave.
With enough subterfuge, you may be able to learn some of their secrets.
Our Three Explorers
Soulblight Gravelords
The mounted hosts of the Soulblight Gravelords come to Concendia to seek the souls that should have been brought to the underworlds of Shyish, but were lost. Will they uncover the mystery and claim these souls for Nagash?
Flesh-Eater Courts
These golden hosts have come to Concendia, seeking its restoration and salvation. Kings, princes, knights, lords and ladies, all have come to bring stability and peace to the lost island.
Beasts of Chaos
These Beasts are on the hunt. New lands mean new prey, and Concendia’s reveal means a lot more prey. But these worshippers of Chaos will not be satiated by the first morsel, and the inner lands of the island are sure to provide more opportunities for conquest, destruction, and food.
Campaign Details
The Campaign will take place over 8 weeks with 7 live-streamed narrative battles on Twitch on Sunday nights at 7pm UK time, which you can watch back on Youtube a few days later.
During each interactive game, explorers will battle each other, the Slyvaneth native to the island or perhaps one of the other forces seeking the prize at the heart of Concordia, while the chat attempts to aid or subvert them with traps, endless spells and roaming monsters. During the battles, there may be places the explorers can send forces to investigate to unlock clues as to the mystery.
After each game, explorers will get the chance to explore a new location to find out more information, with the winning player able to spend a bit more time delving into the location’s secrets before moving on. As secrets are revealed, explorers can come up with custom Path to Glory Quests which they can pursue in future games to try and uncover further clues, based on what they know so far.
In the meantime, their inner circle of advisors and spies will be seeking to aid their masters by stealing secrets off their opponents through submissions made on the Great Weave Discovery page [Under construction]. As they succeed in their missions, the inner circle on discord will be able to vote on which secrets they want to start stealing from the other explorers.
Combined with bonus secrets acquired by Patreon members, each explorer will be working to acquire enough Campaign Glory to have a chance to reach the heart of Concendia in the finale. Not every explorer can make it, so they need to make the most of the first 6 battles.
Before the finale, each explorer, aided by their inner circle, will be able to come up with a theory as to what lies at the heart of the island, with the theories closest to the truth being given bonus Campaign Glory.
Will you work out the mystery before your opponents?
Your Creations
In order to participate in the campaign, you need only join us in our live games over on Twitch. That said, another great way to get involved is to submit your very own creations as well! If you head over to the standard submissions page of the Weave, you’ll be able to submit your very own Heroes, armies, creatures, locations, or even fully-fledged stories that tell of your exploits within the Discovery Campaign. When you do so, they’ll appear both in our Ghyran Realm page, as well as on this page for all to see!

Zinzolin’s nose twitched as a tendril of smoke wafted into his face. The expedition’s camp was bustling with soldiers and retainers in the warm summer evening, and yet he hadn’t been able to fully shake the eerie chill he’d felt since the raid on Apuovia. Since he’d...

Our quarry had fled inland towards the mysterious shroud that still covered the heart of the Concendia. It seemed to me that it was receding at a faster and faster pace, perhaps just my overactive imagination triggered by a sense of impending doom. But events on...
