Description[]
In 568, two years after the Day of the Tears of Fire and the subsequent death of their leader Tuidhana, Dark Elf exiles were still searching for a new homeland. Scattered and embattled, they were hunted mercilessly by their Sylvan brethren who sought revenge for the destruction of their Sacred Tree and the murder of the High King.
Eruina, a leader and hero of the Dark Elves, hoped to find solace on Farwind Island and make peace with her neighbors. She signed a treaty with Rutger, leader of a town of humans, but the Humans betrayed her and sent word to the Elves -- their old allies -- that she was in hiding there with her kin. Spies informed her that a fleet captained by the Elven hero Talanar would leave to hunt down the Dark Elves. Worse yet, Eruina's life is complicated by Sinitar, an ambitious and jealous Dark Elf neighbor. Rumors hint that he has been driven to madness by his dealings with the Shadow Dragons. Eruina must first take control of the caverns of the Dark Elves, then revenge herself on Rutger for his betrayal. Finally, when Talanar and his fleet arrive, she must be prepared to defend her home at all costs...OffBck
Walkthrough[]
Eruina and her clan are in turbulent times - Rutger, the human which she trusted, has betrayed her and sent word to the Elves. In addition, Sinitar, an ambitious Warlock, has gone to to defeat her and will do foolish things to stop her, even uniting with the Elves and Humans to defeat her. After Tholos tells her this, Eruina has two things on her mind - vengeance and protecting her homeland.
First thing is first - Eruina needs to kill Sinitar. His town, Talosthra, will be near her, but is blocked by rocks, so she needs to go around to reach him. He will not be easy to defeat, that is for certain, so she needs an army. After defeating him, Sinitar thinks he will be rescued, but Eruina makes sure that he is wrong.
Next target is Rutger. He is much more difficult to beat, as the time passes, he has already an army of his own, with all the dwelllings around Timberwood. It will be difficult, but possivle for Eruina to win. If it is 4th month or Eruina had captured Timberwood, Talanar will arrive. He has a lot of troops, but Eruina can win with similar tactics to defeat him. After Talanar's defeat, Tholos and Eruina celebrate, as they can finally settle down.

Strategy[]
Eruina needs to capture Sinitar's town, Talosthra, for getting more troops, as Rutger will certainly have a powerful army. Still, it is not vital to defeat him, as she needs to focus her fight on Talanar than him.
