New 2-Player Starter Set // Kings Of War

When it comes to the Starter Sets from Mantic Games, they always push on the narrative in Pannithor and Kings Of War. Here's the background on Battle For The Coral Gate which focuses on the growing power of the Forces Of The Abyss...

"The treacherous waters surrounding the Brokenwall Islands are home to an unseen fortress of sorts – a vast portal-like reef known to the Neriticans as the Coral Gate. From here, the Trident Realm monitors every ship that traverses the surface of their territory, and holds a bulwark against the vile influence of the Infernal Vent - an entrance deep under the sea, that leads to hell.

Attacking the Trident Realm across a wide front, the great archfiend, the Lord of Lies has mustered a massive army to assault the Coral Gate, and stop the forces based there from aiding their beleaguered allies elsewhere. The great naiad Centurion Glozmyrl finds herself face pitted against an old foe, a demonic seductress known as Bloodwing.

While these two spar and maneuver their forces into position, they have dispatched their captains to secure ground that will give them the advantage in the upcoming war. Naarrghh the Depth Horror Eternal, leads his small warband out to stop the Efreet Tu’Lor’Gar from gaining the upper hand and flanking the main Neritican forces..."

The set then starts you off with both the Rulebook and a Starter Guide, which will teach you everything you need to play.
