There are 3 modes for using the battle map, each representing a different style of battle. The mode is specified in the encounter’s text.

• Clash ( ): This is a sudden battle set on a single clash tile for a short, straightforward encounter.

• Delve ( ): This is a battle of exploration, where the party reveals and connects additional map tiles by drawing delve cards.

• Dungeon: This is a battle within one of Tamriel’s strongholds and uses a diagram to set up a multi-tile map with special rules. Each mode has its own setup rules, but all use the same rules for enemies and the enemy pool, as well as battle rounds.
