ARES - The Prophecy of Seniastrill

The Lands of Garishares were at peace for thousands of years. Then slowly all of it changes. Sickness fell upon the ruling Draconian. The disappearance of the last Draconian Flying King has unleashed evil powers in all of the land.  The races, that dwelt in peace with each other found new alliances with different powers that returned to the land. Undead stalk the streets, the brave and honored Orks returned to the shadows, the followers of the old gods of destruction and decay return to their old rituals. And from the other side, the shining armored knights, the belligerent amazons, the zealot dwarves, all of them start arming again for the clash.

The rest of the Draconian hide mysteriously, leaving the Castle of the Lords in abandon. And the Prophecy of Seniastrill rises in the voices of the people. The one that conquers the castle will be king. For light, for shadow or for darkness. For life, for struggle or for death. For a thousand of years. And the armies seem to awaken from the torpor of a dying peace. And the marching begins!

Rules ideas:

Special unique powers if the army is from Light, Shadow or Darkness.

The various armies have a race profile, type of magic and weapons that can be used, numbers restrictions, but the construction of the units and models is to the player decision. So, as in real life, you will never know exactly what the enemy will bring to the table.
