Two Paths Converge in the Wasteland

Vagrus - The Riven Realms: Old Acquaintances brings back two familiar faces from the Pilgrims of the Wasteland campaign, now transformed by a decade of hardship. This DLC expansion for the dark fantasy strategy RPG explores what happens when former allies become bitter enemies, each carrying scars that run deeper than flesh.

Sedarias Returns from Death

The Undead Knight of the Black Sun emerges from the Underworld fundamentally changed. Once a prodigy known for his decisive nature and lethal combat skills, Sedarias now faces the greatest trial of his existence. His newfound undeath challenges everything he believed about the Empire he served, setting him on a path that will shake his faith to its core.

Javek's Dark Transformation

The idealistic Tarkian sorcerer players remember has walked a much darker road. Still gifted with mind-reading abilities and emotional sensing, Javek's compassion remains intact, but his circumstances have changed irrevocably. His journey becomes an inward exploration of the past, potentially pushing players to their mental limits as they uncover what transformed this principled man.

Bitter Enemies with Separate Questlines

These former companions cannot travel together—their enmity runs too deep. However, players can complete both extensive loyalty questlines in a single playthrough, tackling one story after the other. Each path reveals never-before-seen locations and uncovers realm-shattering secrets, accompanied by new enemies that fit their individual narratives.

Freelancers' Guild Mercenary System

The expansion introduces the Collegium Mercennaris, an independent mercenary organization offering specialized hirelings. Four distinct mercenaries become available: an ex-gladiator, a necromancer-for-hire, a Kal-rish ranger, and a veteran slinger. These specialists prove most valuable during early and mid-game phases, though clever combinations can alter late-game tactics.

Ancient Powers and Forbidden Knowledge

New adversaries showcase one of the Realms' most terrifying factions, bringing entities from ancient realms equipped with forbidden knowledge and long-lost power. These encounters tie directly into each companion's personal story, creating meaningful connections between narrative progression and combat challenges.

Expanded Strategic Depth

The PC expansion adds layers to the base game's caravan management and tactical combat systems. Each companion's unique abilities and story requirements create different strategic considerations, while the mercenary system provides flexible solutions for specialized challenges throughout your journey across the Riven Realms.
