Traverse the Forests

Commenting on this Quest at this time will affect the Forests, but will not affect the Withervane of the current campaign. Across the flame-parched plains of Aqshy and the light-bleached deserts of Hysh, a wild story gripped the denizens of the realms. A site of ancient legend in Ghyran, the Realm of Life, held entire reservoirs of Aqua Ghyranis - enough to want for nothing ever again, to expand a mortal lifespan by centuries or to conduct powerful arcane rituals.

Slidecrown Submissions

Greedy skaven eyes gleamed out amidst Thyria’s swamps. Shining phalanxes of Lumineth set out on swift mounts for Ghyranite realmgates, chasing legends of a relic from the Age of Myth. As many human soldiers seeking to drain this hallowed place set out as those seeking to preserve it. A small stomp of gargants found themselves vexed by the influx of warriors intruding upon their fishing spot – and the rival stomps taking a strange interest in their territory.

Some Treelord Ancients amidst the Sylvaneth remembered well the Slidecrown Isle and the Kurnothi Monarch that fell there. Yet even there were the seeds of conflict sown: many of Alarielle’s children resented the presence of such concentrated power and treasure, for it drew covetous filth from every corner of the realms. Yet more felt bitter about the many aspirants clashing over relics and resources that should rightfully belong to the Everqueen – or, at least, be left in sacred peace.

As armies of every kind descend upon the Slidecrown Isle, each with their own designs upon its hallowed treasures, they face a bloody battle to exert their will – lest they fall under the armoured boots of their rivals.

 

Preservers

Protect the forest. Enemies are cutting their way through the isle’s trees in an attempt to reach its reservoirs. It is important to you that the forest remains standing, regardless of whether your motivations are more spiritual, or if they are simply necessary for your own survival. You must protect the Slidecrown Forest by any means necessary.

Obliterators

Destroy the forest. The Slidecrown Isle is ringed by thick forest, much of it wild and sprawling with roots that brim with jade magic. What your army seeks lies beyond this arboreal blanket. If you are to move your warriors forward and reach your chosen prize, you must destroy the forest before you.

Rogues

Strip the forest. The Slidecrown Forest is no natural wood. Each tree grows to several times its natural size, drinking deeply from the reservoirs beyond. Poultices derived from its leaves are of impossible value, and its timber can form weapons charged with Jade Magic. Seize the opportunity of the ongoing war to claim your prize by any means necessary.

Age of Sigmar Battlepack:

For those playing Age of Sigmar Games, we recommend playing with the Battlepack found in White Dwarf 493 on page 46!

Rewards

Throughout the campaign you will gain access to an abundance of relics for both Warcry and Path to Glory. The Team that accrues the most points for each Quest will win that stage, and move the Withervane closer towards their goal. Rogues who support the winning team will win Relics unique to Rogues.
