In this expansion, the counselor of the South Shore has passed away, and the Emperor has sent players off to take care of this abandoned province. They will need to restore old buildings, revitalize the trade routes, and find out the truth about legend of the wrath of the lighthouses. Wrath of the Lighthouse includes 15 unique solo scenarios that correspond with the story in the expansion's Campaign book. These scenarios can be played individually or in a campaign mode. The campaign mode adds new types of cards, including Event and Legacy locations cards.

The game box comes with 55 cards, a Scenario booklet, and a Campaign book. This expansion supports one to four players, ages 10 and up, and plays in 45 to 90 minutes. It will retail for $40.00.

Portal Games also released Empires of the North: Egyptian Kings expansion (see "The First Arc of 'Empires of the North'").
