I'm starting a new campaign for the Dwarves called "The Fiery Scepter". According to Lok, the events in this campaign take place before the Hammer campaign, which I played earlier and posted about in the thread (also with the Dwarves). Moreover, this campaign revolves around a magical ruby, which is also an important part of the Human campaign (the birth of Vesnoth). This is where the story of Venost actually begins. If I'm not mistaken, the ruby is also mentioned in the Elven campaign (Legend of the Vesmir). In general, this stone plays a significant role in the world, and almost everyone has encountered it, and some have wanted to acquire it (like the Orcs).
The Golden Road
This story begins with a small border fortress in the southern hills of Knalga, commanded by the young Dwarf, Rugnur. It was an ordinary day, and the Dwarves were guarding their southern borders when a caravan appeared on the road. It was led by King Haldrik II of Vesnoth, the leader of the Humans. The Dwarf commander asked what they needed. The King replied that he had come to negotiate a deal. The deal was about a fiery ruby that needed to be set in a scepter to enhance its power and, at the same time, weaken its aura, which had a strange effect on its owner. The person became more arrogant and angry, like Haldrik's father. Therefore, the young king wanted to protect himself from the negative influence of the stone. The Dwarves and Humans negotiated for a long time about the amount, and finally settled on ten thousand. The silver was to be transferred from the camp to the Dwarf fortress by a caravan consisting of four wagons (at the beginning, they seemed to have paid 5,000 in advance). Sir Alanin was sent with the caravan (maybe he has the ruby with him, I don't know yet).
Suddenly, Elves appeared, and their leader, Glildur, declared that the road belonged to them and no one would pass without paying a toll. Haldrik said that they had an alliance with the Elves, but it turned out that Glildur belonged to the rebels who did not obey the Elven lord. Therefore, killing him would not be a violation of the treaty, so the Humans and Dwarves joined forces to protect the caravan.
During the battle, some of the Elves shouted the name of Landar. Apparently, these are his followers (for those who don't remember, Landar was Calenz's friend in the Elven campaign. And it was in that campaign that Calenz formed an alliance with the Humans, and then Landar, under the influence of a potion, became evil and had to be killed). Now it's clear where these rebels came from and why they are so hostile. However, the allied forces of Humans and Dwarves easily repelled the Elves and killed their commander. But the Elven reinforcements were not far away, so Rugnur and Alanin hurried to take cover in the Dwarf caves...
