VAMPIRE COUNTS title image.

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.

Vampire Counts

Waldikir's plans are proceeding apace, with his Undead hordes swelling and his personal power base growing steadily. Vampires are creatures of primal instinct, each acutely aware of his place in the race's hierarchy. Waldikir is at present high in that hierarchy, and his rivals diminished to the point of silence.

The Vampire Counts fighting under Waldikir's banner are in possession of the majority of the Howling Heights , the keening winds carrying the fearful baying of Dire Wolves for many leagues across the Great Forest . The armies have been swollen to mighty hordes of Zombies, each a recently reanimated slain enemy soldier. In the Great Confluence, the army of the mysterious Queen Charlotte has won a great many victories, causing her enemies to fear the darkness and what may lurk within it.

Yet, the ancient Waldikir does not rest on his laurels. He knows that even as his armies crush their foes, so his rivals plot and scheme behind his back. Waldikir ensures that only his most loyal (or rather too brain dead to care) servants know the location of his lair beneath the Howling Heights . He knows too that should he show any sign of weakness, another Vampire will strike. So he makes his own plots and schemes, his ancient and impenetrable mind discerning every possible outcome of the war, seeking to gain advantage no matter the outcome.

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.
