SPECIAL RULES: The Elmal clan/Ferris/Horse Herd do not really know where they aregoing. Unless in the river valley or stacked with any other unit theyonly know to move north (1) east (2,3), southeast (4,5), or south (6)The various settlers come from different backgrounds and are notnecessarily friendly. Indeed, there was active rivalry between thehorse people and the horse-friendly Elmali. Only through Lord Paviscould good relations be ensured - that was his personal magic. Factional Rivalry: When two factions meet for the first time they may not reactfavourably. In the alliance phase if any units are within a move ofeach other they may use the emissary table to determine if they arefriendly or not. If the emissary would normally be eliminated thenthey are hostile and the player must hand over control of one side orthe other to the hostile player. If the alliance is refused then theycontinue to be rivals, if the alliance is granted then they act asnormal counters on the same side. Lord Pavis begins the game friendly with each faction, and if heis present during any alliance it will be successful. The ?Hostile plains? player gains one hostile counter perturn, at random from the counters available.
VICTORY CONDITIONS: Lord Pavis gains two points for each valid settler that arrivessafely at the Real City. ElmalclanElmaliHorse HerdJrustelisettlers The hostile forces of Prax gain one point if Flintnail leaves thecity, for his building schedule is interrupted. They gain one pointfor every faction that becomes hostile, or that they eliminatecompletely (Elmali, Jrusteli, Riverfolk, Horse people, Flintnail).
FIRE SEASON: Oakfed opposed the new settlement but a hastily assembled allianceof magicians and warriors fought with his wildfires. Many fled, andsought only to save themselves and their herds and kin. A noble fewsought to defend the new settlement, risking their lives to fight thefire demons.
