SkyrimTAG:Narrative Exploration

During the game, you will constantly explore the world, meet new people and face new dangers. Whenever you are in a Stronghold or Wilderness space, you may choose to use your action for the turn exploring the area, known as Narrative Exploration. Depending on what space you are on, you draw a Wilderness or Town card. These cards can provide Components, Treasure, Quests, and Followers. Once a Personal Quest has been accepted, it needs to either be completed or left to fail over time. Once all of the Town or Wilderness cards have been depleted, the discard pile is shuffled and returned to play.
