Descendents Campaign
This page contains the text of the mission briefings before each individual scenario. It will eventually also contain links to pages for each scenario with specific information on each one. The picture above shows the timeline for the scenarios in the campaign.
Scenario 1
Many generations ago, before this kingdom came to power, the land was the battleground for a handful of warring tribes. The Barbarian Jarkonas, first of a long line of rulers, had a vision: To conquer and unify the tribes...
Scenario 2
Several generations passed, and the kingdom which Jarkonas had established grew and prospered freely. But then, in the east, the kingdom of Harondale grew to power, and a bitter rivalry over the borders began.
Scenario 3 or 4
King Jarkonas III, grandson of Ethania, lay on his deathbed and pondered the fate of his weakening kingdom; the constant struggle with its enemies had taken a heavy toll. He knew that if the kingdom were to again prosper, it would need aid from distant relatives. The final choice he had to make was this: send help to recruit Crazy Uncle Ivan the warmonger and his barbarian clan, or send a search party out to look for the family's wayward son Joseph, a wizard of some repute. (Player chooses)
Scenario 5
In the 200th year since the unification of the tribes, during the dark times of the family, a scout came frantically riding from the southern border towns. He reported that a barbarian horde had taken several outposts and burned down another. Geldria, the queen at the time, sent an army south to reclaim the lost towns and secure the border.
Scenario 6 or 7
As war and unrest threatened to topple the kingdom of Jarkonas, a blow came which might have crushed it. The castle of Ivory Gates fell due to the treacherous actions of a spy from Harondale. The ruler at the time, Ethania Geldria II (the second), had to decide whether it was better to send for help from the elves, or attempt to retake the fallen castle directly. (Player chooses)
Scenario 8
Now, I suppose, it is up to me, Jarkonas VI, to finish what my ancestors started. Our family has grown stronger since Ivory Gates was recaptured many years ago, and Harondale's luck has turned against them in battles on other fronts. In the morning, I will launch an offensive against Harondale's main territory. One way or the other, this long feud will soon be at an end.
Final Speech
Harondale's kingdom has fallen under our control, their rulers have all fled to distant lands or been slain, and I am headed back to my castle to live out my final years in peace.
