Eagle King (Game Term)

The Eyrie is the last space in the Highland and is the lair of the most powerful creature in the Highland – the Eagle King. When a character reaches the Eyrie, he must end his move there, even if he has more movement available.

When a character ends his move in the Eyrie, he must fight the Eagle King. If he kills the Eagle King, he may claim one of the Eagle King’s Relic Cards. Finally, whether the character kills or was defeated by the Eagle King or was defeated by him, the character emerges from the Highland.

A character fighting the Eagle King may choose to battle or wage psychic combat against him. The Eagle King has Strength 8 and Craft 8. Fighting the Eagle King is conducted according to the normal rules governing attacks, save that the Eagle King cannot be evaded, and only characters may attack the Eagle King; Followers, Spells, or Objects cannot fight in a character's place. If a character is defeated, he must lose one life as normal (use of an Object, Spell, or special ability that would prevent life loss may prevent this as normal).
