The most important part of this expansion is the Aesther Diviner, contained within the character tuck boxes.
She is immediately unlocked for use in any normal Gloomhaven campaign. Add the appropriate City and
Road Event cards included in the box for unlocking her to their respective decks now. Players also have the
option, if they have completed scenario #51, to delve into the new campaign presented in this book (it is also
recommended that players have completed the Town Records). If players have not completed scenario #51,
they should still read the next page to learn about the new mechanics associated with the Diviner.

Any overlay tile with a white border is considered a wall . All hexes that the tile occupies are walls, which
function exactly like the walls on the border of a map tile. They cannot be moved through, even with
Flying  or Jump  , and block all line-of-sight. They are not considered obstacles.
Teleport is an ability that transports a figure to a specific location without evaluating moving through
all the hexes between where the figure currently is and where it is going. However, it is not considered
a Move ability (and thus can be performed while the figure has IMMOBILIZE   ). It is also not
inhibited by enemies, walls, obstacles, or any type of terrain when evaluating its path. The hex a figure
teleports to must be a valid hex for that figure to occupy, and any effects of entering that hex will trigger
normally, such as traps, hazardous terrain, or special character abilities. A figure cannot teleport into an
unrevealed room.
New Rules
FOCUS
Some monster abilities specify that the monster find a focus following criteria other than whoever is closest. Follow
the specified priority first, but if there is a tie, break the tie using normal focusing rules.
REGENERATE
REGENERATE is a positive condition. If a figure has REGENERATE, it performs a "Heal  1, Self" action
at the start of each of its turns (even if the figure has STUN   ). If the figure suffers any damage, the
REGENERATE token is removed and the damage continues normally. If a figure has both WOUND    and
REGENERATE at the start of its turn, the REGENERATE effect happens first, removing the WOUND   
token and healing normally.
TELEPORT
WALL OVERLAYS
MIXED ELEMENTS
Rifts are permanent overlay tiles the Diviner can create. Though the effects of a Rift ability usually last
until the end of the round, any Rifts created with that ability remain on the map to be activated by future
Rift abilities, as well. A hex with a rift is not considered empty, nor is it considered negative. The Diviner
can only have five Rifts on the map at once. If a sixth were to be placed, remove one of the others.
RIFTS
An element symbol showing art of two
different element icons can be considered to
be either one of the elements, but not both.
ABILITY CARD LINES
These lines separate the individual abilities
of a card action.
Regenerate can be placed on any main ability line
that affects allies or yourself.
EVENT REQUIREMENTS
Some event cards may contain requirements similar to scenarios. If a party does not meet the requirements of an
event card, simply draw another one and shuffle the card with the unmet requirements back into the top three cards
of the deck.
Do not proceed through the rest of this book until you have completed scenario #51!

5 If the monster can move to multiple   to attack its focus, it will prioritize   that allow:
1. attacking the focus without Disadvantage,
2. attacking as many additional enemies as possible applying focus and attack rules based on the position of the
monster before movement.
3. attacking as few additional enemies with Disadvantage as possible.
6 A muddled monster will not move to lose its adjacency disadvantage. Elemental infusion/consumption is performed
by the first monster of the type activated, and the complete group gains any related benefits.
1. Initial check
2. Find focus
3. Execute Monster abilities (move, attack, and others)
1.1. Check for Attack ability and conditions
If a monster is DISARMED
or does not have an Attack ability, it behaves as if a melee
attack targeting a single enemy was possible. An IMMOBILIZED  monster ignores any
Move abilities. A STUNNED monster cannot find focus, will not move, and ignores all
instructions on its ability card.
1.2. Check for a movement path
Measure a path to an unoccupied hex from which an attack can be performed (line-of-sight
to a target required). All identified hexes are attack-hexes  .
If no such path exists, the monster cannot find focus and will not move or attack.
The monster finds a   and focuses a single enemy   applying the
following priority list:

2.1.   with a movement path that will trigger the fewest negative
hexes possible
2.2.   with a shorter movement path
2.3. Enemy in closer proximity to the position of the monster
2.4. Enemy earlier in the initiative order

Rules for initiative order for figures with identical initiative value:
non-leading ability cards break ties, if still tied players decide; summons
activate directly before their controller; characters performing a long rest
activate last; characters activate before monsters
Execute monster abilities from top to bottom. For move abilities:
