The battle is half over. Now you and Finneas must simultaneously invade AvLee and Erathia. Concentrating your troops on one of the countries will give the other a great tactical advantage. Therefore, your troops must be divided. Some call AvLee's armies "the Wall of Destruction," and everyone knows Erathia's defenders are just shy of invincible. This will be no easy task.

Prologue[edit | edit source]

H3x2 UAh SandroSandro Sandro: It was easy to remove the AvLee, Erathian and Krewlod troops from Deyja, but the invasion itself will be much more difficult. To launch an offensive that will not leave one border open, we must assault both borders simultaneously. Once again, Finneas wishes me to handle the matter personally. His faith in my abilities is touching, but even a puppet King must someday learn how to command if he is to be an effective tool.

Scenario[edit | edit source]

Timed events[edit | edit source]

Day Title Message
Day 1 Day 1 Removing the AvLee, Erathia, and Krewlod troops from Deyja was easier than you thought. Your new task will be more difficult. To launch an attack that will not leave one border open, both borders must be assaulted. Finneas wishes you to pursue this matter personally. His faith in your abilities is touching, but there will come a time when you will not wish to lead these battles personally.
Day 4 Day 4 Bad news has arrived in a package of dust and bones. While checking out the AvLee territory, your scouts ran into the elite group known as the Forest Guard. You know that Gelu, the half Vori elf, is a member of this group, but you are certain another leads these. Who is the question, but you do not know whom to ask.
Day 10 Day 10 Finneas sent you a message; his tone was pushy and bossy as if he was in control of the situation. You leave for a few months, and he suddenly believes he is running the show! The nonsense those court lords whisper into his ear must have somehow gotten into his hollow head. This sort of behavior is not welcome, nor will it be allowed. Fortunately, your presence is required in court, so you must take a quick transport there in order to fulfill certain obligations. Finneas will be reminded who is really in power.
Day 17 Day 17 It was a pleasure to appear in the midst of court and rattle Finneas' bones. He was quite disturbed to see you and had to dismiss court early to collect himself. The rumors floating about the castle were not good ones. You reminded Finneas in his private chambers it was you who put him on the throne and it was you who could remove him from it. The impression of your bony fingertips is now permanently emblazoned on his chest, a small spell you picked up years ago. Finneas will not soon cross you again.
Day 20 Day 20 The Captain of the Forest Guard is Caleb, an elf of surpassing skill. If you were to kill him, these raiding parties might disappear. They keep getting bolder and bolder with each passing week, as if desperation is a driving force. Remove the leader and the rest will fall apart.
Day 25 Day 25 Spies have confirmed your fears. Yog the Barbarian has encouraged his comrades to search for the Angelic Alliance. As soon as the reinforcements arrive they will be off looking for the pieces necessary. AvLee is suspected to be able to provide more troops as early as two weeks from now. Gryphonheart is concerned and has dispatched men to find out how many they need and why Barbarians are defending the Erathian border. With so many forces on the move, you will need to conquer this realm quickly. If those four heroes succeed in gaining all the pieces for the Angelic Alliance, you could lose.
Day 30 Day 30 You suspect Caleb is located near Forestdale, an AvLee town located to the north and east of your main castles. With any luck you should catch him there, possibly napping. It is rumored he carries the Bow of the Sharpshooter, and that powerful bow that could be very useful if you got your hands on it.
Day 39 Day 39 The troops for AvLee have arrived and are going to create a problem. It would be wise to secure this area soon so you can push their lines back and keep them at bay using less forces. Prolonging this battle is not a wise idea.
Day 53 Day 53 You may not win if this keeps up. Troops from Erathia have arrived, and they are already in the castles. Too many more reinforcements and the Angelic Alliance will not be necessary.

62, 5, 0 After successfully getting through the garrison, you find yourself surrounded by even more forces. It seems the Forest Guard must call this little place home. One of the Elves steps forward and shouts, "I am Caleb. You will not defeat me!" With a grin, you push forward to rid this world of him.
