Another achievement down! We’ve officially reached 1,750 backers, which means the new card-back artwork is unlocked and will be added to the Spire’s End: Special Edition.

I wanted this edition to feel special from every angle, not simply updated on the fronts of the cards, so I’m very happy to get this one across the finish line. And with that, there’s one final Backer Achievement to reveal.

📜 2,000 BACKERS: PARDONS FROM THE BARONESS

For the Festival of the Eclipse, the Mad Baroness of SeaCrest has decided an additional layer of festivities is in order for this historic day. Her contribution? Two thousand or more lucky citizens will be placed in the pillories and subjected to a variety of ritualistic unpleasantries as the eclipse begins. Entertainment was harder to come by back then, and the Baroness has always had a particular taste for cruelty.

But fear not.

If the campaign reaches 2,000 backers, the achievement is unlocked for everyone. Every boxed copy of Spire’s End: Special Edition will include a physical Pardon from the Baroness as a special insert, including copies backed after the 2,000-backer mark is reached.

The names of all campaign backers, not just the first 2,000, will be printed upon it, creating one final memento of this campaign to keep as part of the game.

This is the final Backer Achievement of the campaign, so let’s see if we can keep everyone out of the pillories.
