Though he claims to have fought for Belfrie in the war, there are none who claim to know him, despite his alleged position as an officer. Still, he retains his story, despite the claims and rumours to the contrary, with belief circulating that his place as a soldier is a fabrication. Still, he certainly fights like a man who has seen years of war.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst the Captain proudly wears his Draksbornian raiment upon his chest since the Dragonblight ravaged his homeland, he too claims to have fought for Belfrie in the Liturium War. The Captain\u2019s identity is thus a mystery, shrouded in ever-warping rumours and half-truths. Some say they recognise his armour as Second Era, implying the soldier is over three centuries old, perhaps a veteran from the days of the Belfrie Rebellion. Others say he is a spawn of the Abyss, brought up from the hells when they invaded Velandria only years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the truth, The Captain sticks to his story, and deftly proves his combat prowess to any who might doubt it. He is one of the Crucible\u2019s oldest combatants, but one of its newest, though has risen quickly up the ladder with a straight path to Grand Champion in his sights. It is his hope that this year\u2019s tournament will see him reach his goal, though what he might do with the riches and fame after is anyone\u2019s guess. The only one who claims to know him is his fellow Nosmeni, the Matriarch, yet the two have never been seen conversing, nor does she share any of her supposed knowledge.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"tmq-reveal-head\"><span class=\"kicker\">The set<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Crucible of Belfrie is a well known secret amongst the elite of Tharador\u2019s nobility and high society. A bloody arena hidden in the mountains and run by the Belfrian Merchant League. It is currently undergoing its yearly tournament, with plenty of fresh blood to be spilt on the sand, and imposing monsters from across the continent to be battled. Though beneath the gold and glory, a nefarious conspiracy is beginning to stir.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"tmq-reveal\"><a class=\"tmq-reveal-card\" href=\"https:\/\/miniquasar.com\/campaigns\/welcome-to-the-arena\/\"><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\/arena-release-tmq.png\" alt=\"Welcome to the Arena set\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"tmq-reveal-b\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"420\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/miniquasar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/arena-set-minis.jpg\" alt=\"Welcome to the Arena miniatures\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure>\n<div class=\"tmq-reveal-head\"><span class=\"kicker\">The campaign<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In Dire Tidings Pt I the party each receives a mysterious letter summoning them to the city of Velandria.

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;
