The colony has been troubled from the beginning. Even without the disconcerting witchery within the village,settling new frontiers has proven difficult. Even so, the colony must turn its attention to the wild lands beyond the palisades, where its resources are key to survival.

Beyond the Palisades is the first expansion for Pagan: Fate of Roanoke, and introduces two new game mechanics:Gloom and Cleanse. As the Witch casts Gloom across the lands, the Hunter seeks to Cleanse any Gloom encroaching on the village.
