To think this is all over a tiny little shithole like Borovia.

From the whoresons of Destiny to the docks of Tycho rumours abound that it is all about to kick off again. Facts are thin on the ground and that is the way we like it, all the better to stir tales of conspiracy and betrayal. So here is a run down of the A list celebrities so far.

The Good

Baron Silverfoam
Who even if he gets Borovia back will be left with a toxic slagheap rendered sterile down to the bedrock.
Lady Katerina of Borovia
Silverfoam's other half and something something to the Western King.
Sir Celladoor Bladekind
Alfheim's man on the ground, splashing the cash to entice greedy and stupid adventurers into suicide missions. Editors note: this is why is on the good side, because he is paying me so say so.
The Kings Rapiers
All the King's Hobbits. Editors note: This looks like either purely token support or an attempt to get some boots on the ground should Drow be dislodged. It wouldn't hurt if the portal was distroyed and all trade between Alfheim and the outside world, including the Elven Isles, had to run through Bowcourt.
Quillian Warthold
Leading the assault on Elven Isles. Semper Fi and all that I guess, sending in the marines. Word is she and her lads will be hitting the mean streets of Seagate any time soon so expect news.

The Bad

Elves and Drow are all the same when correctly cooked - Orcish Recipe

MoMoLa
Who knows, apart from occupying Castle Ravenloft.
Lady Dunmer Moriquendi
Drow commander is Borovia. What the milheads call a hard target. Leader of the Golden Desert Wolves.
Golden Desert Wolves
Based in Borovia Town.
Sub Commander Wayfair Prev
Leader of the Dozar City Regional Guard
Dinossz City Regular Troops
Drow troops persumably, based around the mines near Borovia Town.
Dozer City Regional Guard
Based in the town of Vallaki, which is situated on the shore of Lake Zarovich in Borovia. It isn't clear if they are trash Drow or that of a lesser race.
Sub Commander Dan Mich
Leader of the the Caleen Walkers
Caleen Walkers
Group of human mercenaries, location unknown. Editor's note: Try to get the WK rules to declare all non drow working for the drow classified as renegades if they remain working for them after the start of 818 WK. Any regenages will have any property within the WK forfeit and they are to be killed on sight. Not hugely practicle but if word gets around it could increase defections.
The Infected Prince Smith
Probably the #1 target in Borovia but needing serious firepower.
Dilxae Baenath
The Fae Fallen Fawn ([Ed: WTF?]). Leader of the Skilzek Drog. A portal mage (Ed: any idea what colleage that would be?).
Skilzek Drog
A group of serpent mages (Ed: So are these serpents that are mages or mages of some sort of serpent college?).
Supreme Commander Lady Dokkalfer
Commander of the drow in the Elven Isles and Dark Celestial mage.
Master Bluevane
May be a Mind mage, Spy & Assassin and squeeze of Lady Dokkalfer.
Lord Azzur
All around bad guy out of Calder City and owner of the Black Fleet.
Reeve Stephen Willowtown
Henchperson of Lord Azzur
Missy Ratajkowski
Elven squeze of Lord Azzur. Ed: Could be on the good guys list, double, triple, quadruple agent territory.

The Ulgy

What do you call a Destinian ship lost with all hands - A good start

Borovia

One northern barony on offer, in poor repair and infested with squatters. Reviewing my notes from Blitzkrieg's Memoirs on Mayhem I'd say a frontal assault isn't going to fly. The enemy are defending, encamped, fortified, have protected supply lines, are in mountains and control their environment. That should only give them about a forty times advantage, all things being equal. Taking on the forces in the Elven Isles would be safer bet, then invade via the portal. Then the mountains work against the drow, bottling them up. Editor's note: This could just be complete BS but even I can see it would have to be WDMs or nothing.
