Follow these rules for steps 1–3 of battle setup.

1. Set Up the Battle Map: Separate the delve tiles by shape into separate stacks, keeping them facedown. Then, place the entrance tile in the play area (leaving plenty of room to expand the map).

► Some provinces use additional setup rules for delves. Refer to the province’s Delve Feature section at the front of the gazetteer for these rules.

2. Place Cache Chips: No cache chips are placed. These are placed as additional tiles are explored.

3. Deploy Enemies: No enemy chips are deployed. These are deployed as additional tiles are explored. Then, follow steps 4–6 as described in Battle Setup.
