Novadomian Muckracker
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.
- Lady Celene of Alfheim
- Ambassador to the Western Kingdom Ed: Now that is being in the hotseat.
- Kinlu
- If the reports have any varacity then they are committing serious resources but for whom it is unclear.
- Clan Chief Dunbait Hammerstrong III
- Top dwarf in the Superstition Mountains
- Axe Alliance
- Some sort of dwarven military compact
- Clan Leader Norgram
- Superstition Mountains honcho.
- Chieftain Kragview Lomhead.
- Superstition Mountains honcho.
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
- Destiny
- Plutocrats, enough said.
- Don Paulo De Marona
- Ambassador from Destiny to Carzala and general rake.
- Sanctuary
- See Sanctuary and die. Always up to something.
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.
