This item was originally offered as a bonus item for those who pre-ordered 3 or more Realms of the Ancients 2 sets, but from December 2009 was also made available for separate purchase. From the publishers website: This six inch wide piece serves as a great start to any dungeon adventure. The piece is designed for use with the Realm of the Ancients Sets, and it comes hand-painted and ready to use right out of the box.
