Narrative Beat
Where the river runs low, old stones remember — and armies come to claim what wakes beneath them.
Lore
The River Ruins lie where an ancient stone crossing once bound three realms together. Now the river runs low, revealing toppled pillars, broken causeways, and long‑buried relics from the First Age. As rival forces converge to seize the exposed riverbed, skirmishes erupt among shattered arches and half‑sunken foundations. What begins as a contest for position becomes a decisive struggle for control of the waterways that will shape the next phase of the Crown Wars.
The Ivory Boughs march with disciplined precision, seeking to secure the crossing before the Dark Realms can corrupt it. But the Morghei have sent a far darker presence: a mounted Wraith, drifting across the ruins like a cold wind, driving hordes of Orc Rabble before it. Under its shadowed command, the ruins become a killing ground where order and chaos collide beneath broken arches.
Tactical Role
This Narrative Battle Box is built for dynamic engagements where open maneuvering meets dense pockets of difficult terrain. The Ivory Boughs bring disciplined infantry, precise archery, and flexible combined‑arms formations, while the Dark Realms counter with surging Orc Rabble Warriors, frantic archer volleys, and the terror‑aura battlefield control of a mounted Wraith.
The battlefield rewards commanders who can shift between formation play, flanking routes, and opportunistic strikes — making it an ideal mid‑arc scenario for players advancing through the Crown Wars storyline.
