Boardquest: Tales of Liria tells a story of a terrible misunderstanding, in which nobody is simply good or evil. For hundreds of years the inhabitants of Liria engage in petty squabbles over the borderlands, unable to reconcile for very long. It is only when a new enemy dawns on Liria, that Humans, Orcs, and Elves commit to – temporarily – burying the hatchet.
That enemy is the demon horde. When a magical portal to the demon dimension is erected (and then hastily sealed), it is they, along with some terrifying monsters that make it through the passage. Rejected by the residents, they seize as much land as they can in order to survive. Humans, Elves, and Orcs form an unlikely alliance to fight the invaders.
