The Eternal Battleground is a strange region of Hirestel indeed. Many locations on the battlefield will not allow combatants to die, and that makes gaining control of the Eternal Battleground... tricky. For that reason, power is gained here by controlling special points in battle or simply wanton slaughter - killing your opponent until they don't want to get back up.
The first mission in the Eternal Battleground is a special one: heroes only, friends. That's right, Deathless Champions pits 3 to 4 players in a 1000 pt. game consisting of only heroes! Non-behemoths, though, folks... no sporting player would take Archaon at 1000 pts. anyhow, but just in case. Your heroes can come back to life after death to battle again, and knowing when to bring them back will be the key to victory!
In Eternal Conflict - a throwback to the Realm of Discovery - two 2000 pt. armies will try and kill one another until the Battleground itself is satisfied and declares a winner! In this battleplan as well, your dead will return to battle! Killing units at the right time will give you the upper hand as you race to bloody the Eternal Battleground with your foes blood or guts or bone dust or maggots or whatever they have crawling around inside them.
Finally, Arcane Artefacts sends two Skirmish bands in search of powerful artefacts to take with them throughout their battles in the realm. Unlike last league, artefacts may change hands from game to game, making them even more powerful! Some of the artefacts you can find:
Cloak of Protection
Idol of Qhaysh
A dented crown
Mirror of Reflection
an old, smelly shoe
and more!
Now those of you who played last time will remember a mirror and what it did... what does that mean is coming in addition to the mirror? Show up on April 15th for the War for Hirestel and be one of the first to fight for the deadliest artefact of them all. My lips are sealed, but trust me: you'll want those obelisks.
Oh damn.
