The story
The Order of the Secret Map
Welcome, Explorer. The Order has opened a path for you in Carcassonne that others miss. A path that leads not just past stones, but through time itself. Listen to the whispers of the double city walls, see how the silhouettes of fifty-two towers draw the sky, and feel the echoes of legends hidden in every cobblestone.
