Kings of War Campaign – Week One

Last week was our first meeting of the “Quest for the Fenulian Mirror” – a narrative map campaign for Kings of War. As we gear up for our second meeting tomorrow evening, I thought it would be worthwhile to write up some of the highlights.

The Player Pack for the Campaign can be found here:

First of all, the following Generals (and their armies) bravely set sail from their homelands and landed upon the shores of Valundar.

-Duke Barnabus Mumblepeg, League of Rhordia, played by Peyton
-Apollyon, Reaper of Despair, Abyssals, played by Jon
-Hazdra’Khan, Grand Forger of Zarak, Abyssal Dwarves, played by Kevin
-Lord Commander Adular, Forces of Nature, played by Scott
-Ar’noth, Elves, played by Jim
-Long Toof da Blood Drinka, Undead, played by Chris
-Istvaan, Ogres, played by Keith

Valundar is an island that was swallowed centuries ago by the Infant Sea and has recently resurfaced for reasons unknown. It is rumored to contain the broken shards of the Fenulian Mirror, a powerful artifact that split the Celestians in half and began an era of unprecedented horror when it was shattered. The Generals seek to gather the shard, reassemble the mirror, and use it to serve their own purposes.

During the first two campaign turns, the Generals explored a bit of the island. Some of them found a shard of the Fenulian Mirror, while Apollyon found a stash of Halfling weed that he is just crazy enough to smoke.

Duke Barnabus Mumblepeg was unexpectedly waylaid when attempting to ford a river. The water reached a roiling boil and he was forced to send his army back, delaying them for a turn. Fortunately, he wandered into the Hunter’s Wood where he was met by the Green Lady herself. Impressed by his courage, the Green Lady gifted him with the protection to safely cross the river.

Long Toof da Blood Drinka found the fortress of the famed Necromancer Nicholai. After several unsuccessful attempts to enter the Fortress, Long Toof found his way in and ransacked the library. Despite being illiterate, the Undead Orc gleaned a considerable amount of arcane knowledge from the experience.

The army of Hazdra’Khan led an attack against the Forces of Nature. Though the Abyssal Dwarves claimed a bloody victory, Hazdra’Khan sustained a brutal head trauma during the course of the battle, seriously shaking the resolve of his troops. In the end, the Abyssal Dwarfs and the Forces of Nature forged a temporary alliance, temporary being the operative word…

Ar’noth attempted to cross the treacherous Hadross desert, where he was ambushed by a nefarious gang of Elf mercenaries (played by Pat). The evil Elves proved too strong, and Ar’noth had the good sense to retreat.

The army of Istvaan has yet to make an appearance on the island. Rumor has it that the Ogre ship was besieged by the infamous Kraken of the Infant Sea.

The current standings are as follows:

Jon – 3
Kevin, Peyton, Scott, Jim – 1
Chris, Keith – 0
