The Faded Fortress was once the home of the most powerful magicians of the Four Kingdoms, now, after the war of the 200 years and at a time where the magic is persecuted, it has been abandoned. The Fortress is full of dangers and curses, but also houses all kinds of relics, including the Ancient Orbes, the most desired treasure by any adventurer. In Orb Hunters each player plays an adventurer in search of relics. In each turn players assign "Adventurer Cards" to obtain relics. The objective of the game is to obtain wealth by avoiding wounds, maintaining a balance between these 2 elements will be key to achieving victory. —description from the publisher La Fortaleza Apagada fue el hogar de los magos más poderos de los Cuatro Reinos, ahora, tras la guerra de los 200 años y en una época donde la magia es perseguida, ha quedado abandonada.
