The armies are set, the board drawn out, and like a chess game one of the forces is soon far stronger than the other. The betrayals have left deep scars in the hearts of the Elves as they pull what is left of their alliances together to face Valsera's armies once more. In desperation the Elves once again send for the Dwarves hiding in their mountains to the north, but as time goes by it seems the Elves are truly on their own. With all of Pentegarn battered and desperate the Dwarves finally arrive to save the midlands from the massive southern armies. It is soon apparent though that their allegiance comes at a cost, one that the Elves may not be willing to pay. With all of Nalawren pushed to war, the Dwarves decide to change the playing field to fit their own dark interests.
