Campaign for Kümer – Year One – Deployment

As the snows begin to melt in the northlands and turn the frozen creeks in their deep gorges into raging torrents, another sounds rings down from the mountain passes that heralds preparations for war! The crack of the whip, the shout of the captain, the clanking of arms and armour and the bellow of unspeakable beasts that ought better have been left in their caverns below…

The sound of Orcs assembling in the Gorj pass and rumours of their scouts raiding the outlying communities strikes fear into the hearts the sheppards and farmers in the north of Tria Nomina. Where is the army to defend them!? Not there! As spring approaches the Legions of the Imperiator parade in streets of Praenomen in their finest and receive blessing from the priests at the Temple of Mars.

The hammering of the Dwarven armourers rings throughout their mountain fastnesses. Weapons are honed to a keen sharpness and the warriors are called to arms at the sounding of the Great Horn of Ghillebrae.

The people of Ronarok look to their defences, repairing the walls of their fortified towns and stowing supplies in deep cellars. The Hird rallies to the Raven Banner of King Ingvar behind the great walls of Ludharn.

In the south, great columns of dust rise high into the sky as great masses of warriors and beasts march across the steppes of Grummsh and fertile plains in the lands of the Sapphic League. Orcs accumulate at Otisburg in ominous numbers, while the Warrior women collect at Beauvoir. It seems almost certain the sands will soon be stained with blood!

The Ilfarien look out over the tumultuous waters surrounding their fair isles with a serene calmness. The fleet and army assemble at Dyledele, but will they sail? Will they intervene in the coming conflict or will they let the baser races fight it out amongst themselves?
