Vanishing of the Emberwing

March 2026·pp. 122–123

THE SHORT VERSION

Round two of the studio campaign swings towards Ymorsson’s Syndicate after Hope’s Forge’s earlier success. Ambushes, the elimination of enemy generals and collected emberstone narrow the search for the missing vessel, leaving both coalitions in contention before a stormy third phase. Dan’s diary records a Kharadron defeat against a Marauder-heavy army.

Escalating Conflict: An Army-building Incursion

Escalation leagues break a large army project into manageable milestones shared with other players. Regular games at intermediate sizes make each new unit matter, build rules knowledge gradually and leave room to change plans when real games reveal a weakness. The proposed progression runs from Combat Patrol or five hundred points to a full Strike Force, with flexible scheduling for local groups.

Secrets of the Necropolis

Marshal Vigar Obolswald reports on an unusually intact Ossiarch fortress taken by Lethisian forces. The account moves from responsive bone defences into silent stables, monumental barracks, libraries and the Mortisans’ subterranean workshops, with each discovery costing lives. A closing annotation reveals that the marshal and his remaining command disappeared during their follow-up investigation, turning an apparently victorious survey into a warning.

The Outer Defences

Bone walls, black stone and nadirite form layered defensive rings whose passages can open or close at a Mortisan’s will. Artillery is integrated into the fortifications, bone appendages attack siege engines and gatehouses behave like crushing jaws. The survey makes clear that a necropolis is an active weapon rather than passive masonry.
