Intro -
In the 27th of the reign of Garad II, the king of Wesnoth, the kingdom was plunged into a bitter war with the orcs of the north. The northern host encamped at Galcadar, by the Ford of Abez, and the king led his forces to meet them. Splitting his army in two, he led one half while his son, the crown prince Eldred, led the other. Eldred was a brave, and corageous warrior, able to lead his soldiers well. Unfortunately fo Garabd his son was also ambitious...... and treacherous. In the heat of battle Eldred's men turned on the king. And, so Garand was slain in battle that day, along with his brother, and all his sons, but Eldred.
Garand's queen, Asheviere, looked on with glee from a nearby hill. In exchange for tribute the warlord of the north happily made peace with Eldred, who proclaimed himself king, and lead his army south towards Weldyn. But Garand's, Delfador, had escaped the battle, and riding with haste reached Weldyn first. He mustered a force of loyalists to fight Eldred and avenge the king's death. The loyalist army marched north to meet Eldred's army. Eldred made war upon Delfador, and his forces with his mother's advice ringing in his ears: ' Fight no one great or small except the old mage, whos head should be severed from his shoulders. '
And Eldred did indeed meet Delfador face-to-face in battle, in the hinterlands near Tath. Sword clashed against staff as the wise old mage fought the brash young warrior. In the end Delfador's men were defeated, and routed, but in the end Asheviere found her son's lifeless body fixed to the ground by the great mage's staff. Asheviere her self took command of the army, and led it back to Weldyn. Knowing that the king's young nephew's were next in line she ordered them killed, and declared herself Queen of Wesnoth. Hearing this news Delfador, secretly snuck Konrad the dead king's youngest nephew, thereby saving him from death. He fled to the elves for protection, and watch as the corrupt Queen took over the land.
The Elves BesiegedKonrad - Master Delfador !! Look there are orcs coming form all directions ! What shall we do ?
Delfador - There are to many to fight, far to many we must escape.
Konrad - But to where ? This is the only home we have. What about the Elves ?
Galdrad - We will fight them, but you must escape Konrad. It is imperative that you escape !
Delfador - We will go north. Prehaps we can reach the Isle of Alduin. If we can make it there surely we will be safe.
Konrad - Very well let us hurry.
Urug-Telfar - Attack the elves, my grunts, and take their villages. Let us claim the land for the Queen !
Knafa-Tan - Ha ha! We will rip the filthy elves to pieces.
Galdrad - Let them come ! We will fight them with all we have !
Chantal - Be careful, Konrad! Guard him well, Delfador !
Delfador - Do not spare your life Chantal. Someone must warn the northern elves the war we have so much feared has come.
