Combat — Varkesh of the Broken Tusk – The Boarwood Covenant (6/24)

Varkesh fights as a fey warlord and advocate, using the heroes' prior vows as terrain. At 0 Hit Points he offers one final bargain: let him become the covenant's executioner, or risk imperfect peace.

Victory renews the covenant, reshapes the border road, and lets the heroes decide whether the three lands remain separate neighbors or become a council of equals.

Level 12 unique fey warlord. Core tactics: reach weapon, mental magic, reaction against broken promises, and lair actions that turn arguments into binding terrain.

Campaign reward. Each hero gains a story boon tied to their sidequest and one permanent regional ally: Boarwood guardian, Fog Peaks witness, or Tandak marshal.
