The shining city sprawled eastward, climbing the gingko-covered slopes of Mount Aran. The mountain, whose snow-capped peak loomed silently in the distance, conferred upon Luke a sense of safety, though he knew it to be false. Waiting for him at the end of the dock, a lavishly dressed man reached out to him with open arms.  \n“Luke! My friend, it has been too long. Come, let us drink and be reacquainted with one another!”A full-faced smile bloomed across his features, and his gold and turquoise jewelry jingled and glinted from the sunlight.  \nLuke shook his head. “Soon, Kuranes. You know I would love nothing more.” He grimaced. “But it is not for want of friendship that I come to Celephaïs today. Something terrible stirs in the north. I can feel it.” He nervously fiddled with the ornate gilded box he kept in one of his pockets, a gift given to him long ago by his uncle. Kuranes’features darkened. “In this you are not alone, my friend. I have felt it as well.” Kuranes turned, gazing into the distance. “The Lord of Kadath wakes.” Luke shook his head. “We do not know for certain—” Kuranes raised a hand to silence him.“No. You know it is true. He is planning something. All the realms of humanity stand upon a precipice.”  \nLuke shivered, despite the pleasant warmth of the noon sun, drawing his coat around him. “And the Dreamlands are no exception.” Luke nodded, turning his head northward. “That’s why Iam here, oldfriend. I mean to stop him.” Turning back toward Kuranes, Luke put his hand on his friend’s shoulder.“Come,” he said. “There is much to discuss.”  \n2  \nexpansiOn Overview  \nIn The Dreamlands expansion, investigators must investigate the strange visions bestowed upon them in their nightmares and work against the forces which seek to merge the land of dream with reality. This expansion includes two new Ancient Ones and new investigators, Monsters, and encounters to be used with Eldritch Horror. It also introduces entirely new mechanics including Unique Assets and Focus tokens.  \nUsing This expansiOn  \nWhen playing with The Dreamlands expansion, add all expansion components to their respective decks or pools of Eldritch Horror components except for the components described below.  \n^ Before setup, players draw one random Prelude card. These cards alter game setup and make each game feel unique.  \n^ The Dreamlands side board, Dreamlands Encounter cards, Dream-Quest Encounter cards, Dream Portal tokens, the Dream-Quest token, and the seven Clues and three Gates that correspond to spaces on the Dreamlands side board are used by the Hypnos Ancient One and the Otherworldly Dreams Prelude card included in this expansion. Otherwise, these components are returned to the game box. See pages 4 and 5 for rules regarding these components.  \n^ The Adventure cards included in this expansion are used by the Otherworldly Dreams Prelude card. Otherwise, they are returned to the game box. See page 4 for rules regarding Adventures.  \n^ Add all Focus tokens and the Adventure token to the general token pool. See pages 4 and 6 for rules regarding these components.  \n^ Shuffle all Unique Assets to create the Unique Asset deck. Place this deck faceup near the Asset deck.  \nSome components in this expansion require other newly introduced components. For this reason, all expansion content should be included when playing with this expansion.  \nExpansion icon  \nCards in this expansion are marked with The Dreamlands expansion icon to distinguish these cards from the cards in other Eldritch Horror products.  \nenCOUnTer Cards  \n24 Mythos Cards  \n6 Prelude Cards  \n4 Round Overview Cards  \n5 Epic Monster Tokens 3 Dream Portal Token  \n3  \nprelUde Cards  \nWhen playing with this expansion, players draw one random Prelude card before setting up the game.
