This is a big box, with the outward appearance of a treasure chest, which was the last stretch goal of the Ancient Chronicles Kickstarter campaign. It houses the Wave 1 components, mostly as retail boxes.

The Kickstarter campaign had just one pledge level, Legendary Hero, which was broken down into three parts:

Two bundles of add-ons were offered. The Bronze Bundle consisted of:
