Week 4 Report

As the war for the Nemesis Crown enters a new phase, the Dwarfs of Thorgrim Ironfist are in the ascendant, winning many great victories and perhaps even closing in on the location of the Crown itself. But others win honours, too, notably the Bretonnians and the Wood Elves, whose own objectives are furthered with every battle they win.

Other armies find themselves facing defeat if they cannot redouble their efforts or brook new alliances. The Men of the Empire find themselves in debt to the Bretonnians, without whose aid many regions would have slipped into the hands of the forces of darkness, who would then have had free reign to scour the woodlands for the lost Crown.

Meanwhile, others still languish on the brink of disaster. The Beasts of Chaos and the Orcs & Goblins have suffered many terrible defeats. Yet, even as they lick their wounds, fell minds hatch terrible plans of bloodshed and conquest, and once more the forests shall burn and the rivers run red with the blood of those who would possess the Nemesis Crown.

Dwarfs

The throngs of Thorgrim Ironfist have fought a series of glorious battles across the entire Great Forest region, gaining dominance in the Drakwald Deeps and Reik's Marches . Thorgrim's forces have now completed the construction of a series of fortifications along the Old Dwarf Road and elsewhere. These stout palisades have proven unassailable to the forces of darkness, which continue to batter themselves against the ironbound stakes day and night.

With his fortifications complete, Thorgrim has despatched a number of Ranger bands to shadow closely the movement of Grimgor Ironhide's vast greenskin horde. Such a task is fraught with peril, with the Rangers and the Forest Goblin tribes fighting deadly running battles. Yet, Thorgrim knows that of all the dark and twisted souls within the forest, it is the greenskins who are most likely to be drawn to the evil of the Nemesis Crown, and the loathsome Forest and Night Goblins who are most likely to get their scrawny hands upon it. Thus, the Rangers tail Grimgor's every movement, ready to strike the moment it appears the greenskins may have located the Crown.

In others areas, the Dwarfs continue to take the war to their foe, even lending vital aid to the High Elves at the Ruins of Tor Thana and at the Stone of Blood. Joseph Bugman himself has however renounced a large number of his fellow Dwarfen Warleaders, accusing them of exaggerating their accomplishments. For those who have stood firm throughout the war, Joseph has promised a keg of his most potent ale. For those who continue to tell tall tales, only a barrel of orange dye and a Slayer's oath awaits…

What Does That Mean? The following color codes are meant to provide you with a barometer of how well your faction is progressing towards its stated goal for the Nemesis Crown. These color codes are here to give you a sense of your progress to date.

Image of a green button. Green. Your faction is doing well, and if things continue, you are bound to secure your objectives while others stumble and clash in the depths of the forest.
Image of a yellow button. Yellow. The fight is far from over, and the outcome isn't certain, though victory is definitely within your grasp. To assure you achieve your faction's goal, you'll need to put forth greater effort.
Image of a red button. Red. Things are not looking well at all, and fate seems to have forsaken you. Despite your best efforts, nothing seems to be going according to plan. Victory may still be possible, as the winds of war are often fickle. In order to succeed, you'll need to re-double your efforts!

The Big Picture. It is important to remember that for this campaign, there will be no single winner. Each faction is working towards its goal, and battles will determine whether or not they are able to achieve it.
