I, Vorsar, awoke in a poor wooden protected village... that must change. Exploration of my futur kingdom as started not later than this morning. I must know who are living in the villages next to me.

A furnace, a node, and a rogue shack all within walking distance! Let's go shopping!

A lightly defended watermills is now mine, also the newly captured watchtower gives me a good view on next targets.

Doombats attacked during the night! My hero and two others were slain. I don't like to think what would have happened if the bats hadn't been weakened by the shadow sickness. A horrible night.

Air node captured, a scout report a nearby city with a 3 lvl high magic tower... I wonder if the ruler will be aggressive towards my people...

Captured a tower, which revealed a big, fat nothing.

A fine wand was found in a nearby campsite. The next structure would be a death node, but it's guard by a bats... I don't like bats...

Contact made with 2 other wizards, so far nobody attacked my troops...

A quick jaunt into the surface world, then conquered an outpost in shadow. Silly humans! Why do you want to live in my shadowlands?

... and Archons! You don't want to live here, either, do you?

Death node captured after all... a giant spider volunteer to help us out and succeed in webbing the bat long enough to have killed.

Exploratin still going on, a young and beautiful woman seems not that much negociable. Eventhough she's pretty I may have to conquer her lands... that's a shame, unless I capture her !

I've only got one decent scout, so I'm scouting very carefully.

Only one thing to report : Furnace captured from that beautiful woman, but not that friendly... I guess that won't change now !

Not much to report here in the shadowlands. Lots of empty space.

Water node captured, more exploring.
I'm feeling I hear soon enough about an angry beautiful woman...

One of my scouts was attacked and killed during the night. With the aid of my new Archon hero, we will extract revenge!

Still no sign of that beautiful women... odd.
One more furnace produces for my army.

turn sent

2 unflagged Astral sprite are heading my capitol... I shall watch them closely as they are a real menace !

Cleared out a campsite and got a handy weapon.

Death node capture but lost an watchtower to this Sprites. Their advance worry me...

I'm glad Vorsar seems to be having difficulty, as I have problems of my own. I have been attacked in the shadowlands while my forces were elsewhere. Fortunately I had just enough to put an end to the first, shadow-weakened knight.

There are more than difficulties... as expected those 2 sprites beat my core army including 2 heros... and now heading my capitol, that could be the end for me...

Sent some reinforcements to battle the humans. Meanwhile, my ragtag band somehow managed to take a fire node with no losses.

Build up turn... and watching closely those sprites !

Well it seems sprites were not enough... a stack of 6 units (including two knights, lvl3) are heading my capitol.

The nomad outpost proved an easy target. Next up: another fire node.

Pain but no gain...

We've discovered where those humans came from. We plan to investigate tomorrow.

Still doing my best between a powerful wizard and the twin sprites.

Further investigation reveals more knights. Not good. Time for a tactical retreat.

Those knights really shouldn't have followed us back into the shadowlands...

From bad to worse... I wonder if I'll live to see you Yaru...

Spotted some area guards. They'll attack overnight, and we will kill them.

Back from worst to "bad" mode as I succeed in eliminating one threat... luck will be require to beat the other threat !

Nimue's riders realized the threat, but too late. They were not in time to save their mistress. Bursting out of the shadowlands, we sent Nimue to the void and her Tigran hero to his grave.

Nice city she had here.

Marching...

So now Merlin wants a piece of me? He'll join Nimue in the void.

A Yaru scout just learn where the "dead"line was...
