s the search for the Nemesis Crown begins, dire tidings reach the Wood Elf realm of Athel Loren.

Fighting had already broken out within the Great Forest when Naieth the Prophetess addressed the Wood Elf Council of Kindreds. She spoke of the visions that haunted her slumbers, of the foul children of Morghur — the Beastmen — spreading their evil in the woodlands.

At the heart of it all lurked a dark presence, believed by Naieth to be Morghur himself — the immortal spirit of Chaos from whom all corruption springs.

Skarloc, the legendary archer whose keen arrows had once slain Morghur's mortal form, lent his support to Naieth's claims. He had recently been abroad in the Empire of Man on errands of his own. There Skarloc had seen entire brayherds of Beastmen on the move, driven from their squalid encampments by the approach of great armies. Thousands of the foul creatures had been slain in the process, true enough, but many thousands more now descended upon unspoiled regions of the Great Forest, spreading corruption in their wake.

Horrified at the unfolding events, the Asrai council were of one mind. The horn of awakening was sounded, and Athel Loren responded. Warrior kindreds gathered in King's Glade: archers, Glade Riders and warriors of the Eternal Guard all answering the summons. Waywatchers returned from their lonely vigils to pledge themselves to the coming war. In the deepwood, Glamourweavers sang to mighty Treemen, rousing them from slumber, whilst Branchwraiths summoned their Dryad handmaidens. Soon a mighty host stood at arms.

Though the Beastmen were too numerous to be exterminated, the children of Morghur would be contained and driven back into their dank heartlands. So too would the Asrai cast the trespassing armies of Man, greenskin and Dwarf from the Great Forest and call them to account for the evil that their blundering trespasses had unleashed upon the world.

The Great Forest would be cleansed of the taint of Chaos.

Objective - The Wood Elves fight to defend their fair realms and drive the Servants of Morghur back to their dank heartlands. So too shall the Asrai cast out the trespassing armies of the Empire, the greenskin, and the Dwarf from the Great Forest and call them to account for the evil that their blundering has unleashed upon the world. With every Wood Elf victory, more intruders are repelled and the power of Athel Loren is increased.
