Forged in WAR ~ The Uplands: The Brass Keep

While the forces of the Raven Host and the savages from Norsca descend upon the Empire from the north, a grave threat lurks within the very body of the Empire. High atop the Middle Mountains is what was once a proud Imperial town which served both as a safe haven for weary travelers and as a college for the Celestial Wizards. That is until a recent Chaos incursion which pushed deep into the Empire and overran the isolated mountaintop retreat which could not withstand the assault. Ever since then the town has been firmly in the hold of Chaos warriors, now known as the Brass Keep, a sore reminder of a bitter past and of the troublesome future. The forces of the Empire could never devote sufficient forces to retake the town and so it has remained in the hands of the forces of Chaos. Now in the Age of Reckoning Tchar’zanek has responded in kind for the dwarven assaults against the Raven Host by ordering the forces in the Brass Keep to harass Empire forces in Nordland. The Empire cannot ignore the Brass Keep anymore, it must be dealt with once and for all.

Forged in WAR ~ The Uplands: Kraka Drak

In the far north, beyond the reach of civilized men, is the rugged realm of Norsca. While tiny villages cling to the shore like a sailor clings to driftwood in a storm, deep in the treacherous mountains is the realm of the Norse dwarves. The lands of the Norsca have always been subject to the whims of the Chaos gods, but the Norse dwarves have held strong against the influences of the chaos winds. In the arms build-up ushered in by High King Thorgrim Grudgebearer, a call to action was sent across all of Karak Ankor, and the distant cousins in Norsca answered. Harassing the Raven Host’s supply lines in Norsca the dwarves of Kraka Drak have proven too great a threat to ignore. Now the forces of Destruction will answer Tchar’zanek’s call and march forth to Kraka Drak to teach the dwarves a dire lesson.
