⚔️Greetings Commanders ⚔️

We hope you're doing well! As you may have seen, the Crownless King Expansion is coming to Songs of Silence on May 7th, and starting today, we're kicking off a series of posts to give you a closer look at what's inside. 👀

Over the next few weeks, we'll be revealing ...

🔪 Three new heroes
🃏 New battle and strategy cards
🪖 New units
✨ A new perk

And we're starting with a big one...

Forget everything you know about Songs of Silence protagonists. No righteous queen. No holy inquisitor. Thorn is something else entirely.

A rogue knight with no throne, no kingdom, and no allegiance. Thorn is a mercenary warlord who rides into battle atop a massive primordial beast. Nations seek him out to turn the tide of their wars. He always delivers...

Where Lorelai fought to reclaim her birthright and the Celestial Church waged war in the name of faith, Thorn fights for himself. He's charming, reckless, and his morality bends wherever opportunity takes him. He builds a kingdom out of sheer audacity, feared and hated in equal measure.

🔮 A Different Kind of Story

The Crownless King takes place roughly ten years after the events of the base game, around the same time as the Celestial Church campaign. But don't worry: no prior knowledge is required. This is a completely standalone story told through the eyes of entirely new characters.

At its core, it's the tale of a legendary rogue's rise... and fall. Along the way, two side heroes emerge as Thorn's potential successors, and their growing rivalry will shape the fate of his outcast kingdom. Your choices lead to multiple possible endings.

⚔️ On the Battlefield

As a hero class, Thorn commands the Grimhowl — a rogue knight riding a venomous primordial quadruped. He's an XXXL-sized force of nature with perks like Linebreaker, and Trample, crashing through enemy lines and leaving poison in his wake.

👉 WISHLIST THE CROWNLESS KING EXPANSION 👈

Next up... we'll introduce the two heroes fighting to become Thorn's successor. Stay tuned. 😏

See you on the battlefield!

Cheers, The Chimera Team
