Fantasy is introduced into the land of Carcassonne with this third expansion. An imposing dragon is flying over Carcassonne and its surroundings, scaring followers away. Heroes and adventurers are doing all they can to resist the dragons assaults, but it is all for naught without the fairys assistance. Meanwhile, the princess is recruiting knights for her personal guard. While they are busy laboring their fields, farmers stumble upon magical portals that lead to unexplored areas, which are hopefully out of the dragons reach.
