FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
London, England: 20th June 2025
Five Leagues from the Borderlands Compendium, including Deep Below, is now available for pre-order from Modiphius Entertainment.
This Compendium gathers the first two expansions for Five Leagues from the Borderlands into a single volume, adding new characters, mechanics, enemies and aberrations to the core game. Additionally, this book features the new standalone Five Leagues game: Deep Below.
In Deep Below, you take charge of a six-strong warband exploring the underworld’s collapsed keeps and claustrophobic caves. It is both a standalone game and a variant of Five Leagues from the Borderlands, tailored to the deep, dark environment, and integrated to allow characters to transfer between games for an expanded game universe. Deep Below streamlines the core mechanics, offering a full campaign experience with its own character progression.
Deep Below features:
- Archetype-based character creation including Rune Magic, a new mystic art.
- Build your underworld base using Settlements and Structures rules.
- New origins: Grey Elves, Derzkan, Weaslings, and Windspite Clan Dwarves.
Available for pre-order for £35 / $47.50, the game will be released in September.
The Compendium also includes the first two expansions for the game: The Ancient Land of Dust and Paths in the Wilderness.
The Ancient Land of Dust is a harsh, magic-soaked desert once known as the lush Emerald Fields before the rise of a great evil. Now, ancient threats stir as undead soldiers rise and warriors are drawn across time to serve a fallen Warlord. Spirits grow restless, warning of an impending war. This expansion offers new rules, options, and guidance to bring characters into a land rich with history, danger, and opportunity.
Paths in the Wilderness provides players with an array of options for your Five Leagues from the Borderlands games. This expansion is all about the adventure you want to create, brimming with options for almost every aspect of the game system, whether it is characters to create, activities to perform, creatures to fight (or recruit), or new ways to use the game rules.
