A place where its thirst for death might be sated. Whilst Kael wears the guise of one there to bring aid to the village of Limlight, it is his hope that every inhabitant of the village meets a gruesome end, if only to satisfy his patron and further empower himself. He will do his best to ensure such things come to fruition.<\/p>\n<p>Kael\u2019s earliest memory is waking on an altar in the depths of a cavern, bare as a newborn babe.The soothing voice of Exalath roused him from his slumber, congratulating him on his rebirth as the dark patron\u2019s Avatar. Kael had no recollection of his life before that moment, it had all been torn from his mind, but Exalath assured him that he had come from nothing, and that with him, he would instead become everything. This promise, so far, has been kept. The powers Kael borrows from his patron rival even grand mages, able to turn his enemies to ash or rip their innards from their skin in the snap of a finger. Yet Exalath does not allow Kael to use these without a price, for often he is used as a means to enact the creature\u2019s will within Tharador. Whether this is hunting down those who took up bargains with the creature, and force them to pay their share, or battle against other avatars of rival demons to stifle their own influence.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst Kael obediently walks the path painted by his patron, a faint gnawing thought lives within his mind; that this was not a life he chose, but rather one forced upon him. No memories exist before he woke on that altar, but he cannot help but sometimes consider if this was what he wanted, as he tears out the heart of a dying stranger to sate Exalath\u2019s sadistic bloodlust. For years this has eluded him, yet there has been little he could do for his eyes and ears were shared by the evil entity.<\/p>\n<p>Now, years later, he finds himself at yet another place of Exalath\u2019s calling. A village in Draksborne where a recent outbreak of Dragonblight has left the village contained within an arcane quarantine. Posing as a wandering sorcerer, he has volunteered to go into the village to help contain the outbreak. Whilst he will at first do as he claims, holding his cover to any powerful enough to challenge him, his ultimate goal is to see every inhabitant of the village slaughtered. Though it will halt the spread of the disease, in truth the slaughter will be ritualistic, aiming to soak the grounds in blood and pave the way for Kael to ascend to the next form of Exalath\u2019s Avatar. Should he succeed, he may become almost as much of a threat as the outbreak itself.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"tmq-reveal-head\"><span class=\"kicker\">The set<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Limlight was a village mostly spared by the Dragonblight outbreak two years prior. Now it has become the epicentre of the latest outbreak, trapped in an arcane quarantine. The clock is ticking until all within are infected, or wiped out by the kingdom\u2019s contingency and containment plans. A squad of elite knights and paladins now enter, volunteering their lives to try end the outbreak and purge the plague.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"tmq-reveal\"><a class=\"tmq-reveal-card\" href=\"https:\/\/miniquasar.com\/campaigns\/the-dire-end\/\"><span class=\"tmq-reveal-frame\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"tmq-reveal-a\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"420\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/miniquasar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/dire-end-release-tmq.png\" alt=\"The Dire End set\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"tmq-reveal-b\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"420\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/miniquasar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/dire-end-set-minis.jpg\" alt=\"The Dire End miniatures\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure>\n<div class=\"tmq-reveal-head\"><span class=\"kicker\">The campaign<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In The Dire End, the party is trapped within the arcane quarantine zone of Limlight Village. The village is a victim of a new strain of Dragonblight, which has erupted only recently. It was very swiftly quarantined by arcane mages of the kingdom of Draksborne, who are now threatening that the entire quarantine zone will be purged in three days, if those inside are not able to end the plague themselves.

All miniatures sold are unpainted, unless otherwise specified. If you would like us to add free matte black primer to the prints, you can let us know, and they&#8217;ll be ready to paint right out of the box!<\/p>\n<h3>Shipping<\/h3>\n<p>Our models are shipped assembled if they are not too delicate, but are usually separated from the base. Wings and some other parts may also be detached and need to be put together, especially for larger models. To put the pieces together, you could use epoxy putty, super glue, or any strong glue that works for plastics. This is to ensure that none of the delicate pieces break or get damaged during shipping. If you really need pieces glued together, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.<\/p>\n<h3>Free Miniature<\/h3>\n<p>Get a free miniature with your order. No requirements, every order gets one. It will be a random character from our store. If you order multiple minis, you may even get more than one for free! Enjoy.<\/p>\n<h3>Model Scale<\/h3>\n<p>Normal-sized miniatures come in two sizes: 32mm and 75mm, which is the height of the humanoid body, so with the base and other accessories like hats, they will end up being a little taller. 32mm is the standard size if you are playing D&amp;D on a physical battle map.<\/p>\n<p>Larger miniatures are measured by the diameter of their base. Large-sized miniatures usually have a 50mm base, huge-sized ones have a 75mm base, gargantuan ones have a 100-120mm base. For specific measurements on any model, please contact us and we&#8217;ll be happy to give you the exact numbers.<\/p>\n<h3>Creation of Miniatures<\/h3>\n<p>These models are made by the fantastic people at DM Stash, and they make incredible models, so please check them out. We are officially licensed to print and sell their models to you, so you can enjoy them too! We print them with an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra resin printer with 16K resolution (the highest quality available). They are printed using Elegoo Standard 3.0 Vanilla coloured resin, an expensive resin that ensures models are strong without compromising on the detail. The supports are cut off, the model is sanded if needed, and inspected to ensure perfection. The model is washed off with pure alcohol, then cured inside an Elegoo ultcuring enclosure, and prepared for printing.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\njQuery(function ($) {\n  var $sum = $(\"div.product .summary\");\n  function tmqMoney(prices) {\n    var raw, minor, n, prefix;\n    if (!prices) {\n      return \"\";\n    }\n    raw = prices.price;\n    minor = prices.currency_minor_unit;\n    if (typeof minor === \"undefined\") {\n      minor = 2;\n    }\n    n = Number(raw);\n    if (isNaN(n)) {\n      return \"\";\n    }\n    prefix = prices.currency_prefix;\n    if (!prefix) {\n      prefix = \"$\";\n    }\n    return prefix + (n \/ Math.pow(10, minor)).toFixed(2);\n  }\n  function tmqVarName(v) {\n    var i, a, attrs, text, idx;\n    attrs = v.attributes;\n    if (attrs) {\n      if (attrs.length) {\n        for (i = 0;
