SkyrimTAG:From the Ashes (campaign)

This article is about the Adventure Game campaign. For the Loranna's RP campaign, see Loranna's RP/From the Ashes.

Grahkrindrog has returned to cause havoc.

A creature of legend and nightmare. Hundreds of years ago, Grahkrindrog terrorized the province of Skyrim. It's said to be the size of a palace. Grahkrindrog's resurgence from the ashes is bad news for Skyrim.

From the Ashes, also known as Grahkrindrog, is the titular mini-campaign of the From the Ashes expansion. It introduces a challenging 10-part dragon encounter that can be played during Chapter 2 of the Civil War campaign. Not only does Grahkrindrog provide challenging combat, he will also terrorize Skyrim, Degrade Strongholds, spread Threat, and make the Hold he occupies inaccessible. A New Menace is added to the Event deck to begin the campaign.

Although Grahkrindrog is placed on a single space on the Game Board, his presence makes entering the entire Hold begin Combat with him. This means that multiple players can enter the Hold from different paths and still fight Grahkrindrog together. From the Ashes' World Quests cannot be failed. If you fail combat against Grahkrindrog, the World Quest remains active.
