Stunning fantasy art and illustration from the fan-favorite world of Terrinoth, setting for the famed Descent series of tabletop games.
Since 2005, Terrinoth has provided the backdrop to epic battles and countless dungeon adventures as the setting for the famed Descent: Legends of the Dark board game, its predecessor, Descent: Journeys in the Dark, as well as a host of companion games. Now, the realms of Terrinoth, its inhabitants – from the embattled Baronies of Daqan to the undead hordes and demon-tainted barbarians that assail them – and the heroes who will decide its fate are set center stage in this lavish full-color artbook. The Land of Steel is captured in an age of approaching darkness but renewed hope through iconic pieces from the Descent series of games, presented in their full glory, for all fans of the game and lovers of fantasy art.
Terrinoth: an ancient realm of forgotten greatness and faded legacies, of magic and monsters, heroes, and tyrants. Its cities were ruined and their secrets lost as terrifying dragons, undead armies, and demon-possessed hordes ravaged the land. Over centuries, the realm slipped into gloom… Now, the world is reawakening – the Baronies of Daqan rebuild their domains, wizards master lapsed arts, and champions test their mettle. Banding together to explore the dangerous caves, ancient ruins, dark dungeons, and cursed forests of Terrinoth, they unearth priceless treasures and terrible foes. Yet time is running out, for in the shadows a malevolent force has grown, preparing to spread evil across the world. Now, when the land needs them most, is the moment for its heroes to rise.

“At its best, [Descent] feels like board gaming’s answer to the Marvel Cinematic Universe – a big, flashy crowdpleaser that knows exactly how big, flashy and crowdpleasing it is.”
Dicebreaker, on Descent: Legends of the Dark
“It’s a world of fire-breathing dragons, noble heroes and scheming wizards that will feel instantly familiar to anyone who’s dabbled in D&D or sunk a few months into World of Warcraft.”
