The Dark Deception:
Siege at Citadel Aethyr

Against tough odds the forces of Good have marched northeast to Kislev in order to repel the Orc and Chaos forces attacking the city. But once they arrived to assist the Kislevites, the armies of the dark powers had seemingly fled north into Troll Country. Owing to the size of the Orc forces and their unholy alliance with the powers of Chaos, the Empire and Dwarf contingent knew what must be done. The cards had been dealt and there was now little choice but to stop the evil at its source. 

Marching north deep into the ravaged lands of Troll Country, the Good forces have finally located the destination of the Orcs and Chaos. At this moment they stand before the gates of the mighty Citadel Aethyr...but there is something they had forgotten. A strange pair of towers have been built into the citadel but their function remains unclear. Could this be the source of the power affecting the winds of magic that the Lizardmen warned them about? Who or what has constructed this monstrosity and for what dire purpose? Find out in the climactic conclusion to this campaign!
