It's been three years, more or less, since Imperial armies fought in the Barrens. Three years since Druj treachery saw the Towers of the Dawn fall, and the orcs of the Mallum spread their hegemony once again across the deep forests and the bloody fields. Now, the Empire has returned. From the north, from out of the Morass in Holberg, come the Golden Sun, the Gryphon's Pride, and the Hounds of Glory with their Varushkan allies, the Golden Axe. From the south, up through the Tarn Valley, out of Therunin, come the other Varushkan armies - the Iron Helms and the Northern Eagle. With them are the Wolves of War supported by a great many Varushkan wagon raiders and sell swords, as well as Temeschwari bravos keen to wrest some profit from the war against the Druj.
