GF - Clash In the Valley of Echoes

A Four-Way War in the Ruins of the Mithril Mountains

Background Narrative

In a long-forgotten valley of the Mithril Mountains, among the shattered spires and moss-covered ruins of an ancient city, four mighty armies converged. The earth trembled under the weight of war machines and scaled behemoths. From the North came the stoic Knight Battle Brothers, armored in tradition and steel. The South shimmered with the grace and magic of the High Elf Fleets. To the East, the primal might of the Saurian Starhost advanced, cold-blooded and relentless. From the West, a more elite and revered force—the Prime Knight Battle Brothers—answered the call to arms.

Six key objectives were scattered across the field. Each army drew mission cards from their faction decks, ensuring that the goals of war shifted like the sands of fate. A brutal, unpredictable battle was about to begin.

Deployment & Round-by-Round Breakdown

Deployment & Round 1: The Calm Before the Storm

Each faction moved cautiously into position, preparing for the carnage to come. Initial skirmishes saw minor wounds exchanged, but the true war had yet to ignite. All eyes were on the objectives—and on each other.

Round 2: Lines Collide

The battlefield erupted. The Knight Brothers and the Prime Knights clashed in a thunderous melee, their armored forms locked in combat. Across the valley, ambush units emerged, turning flanks and disrupting plans.
The Saurians' Ankolosaur lumbered toward the central objective, shrugging off a hailstorm of fire from every direction. The T-Rex-mounted Saurian leader pressed forward, only to be met by arcane blasts from a towering Elf Elemental.
The High Elves danced around the carnage, launching long-range volleys and shielding themselves with powerful magic. Every faction claimed ground, but the field remained uncertain.

Round 3: Blood in the Ruins

The battle's weight began to tell. Units fell. The field grew sparse.
The Knight Brothers, bloodied but unbroken, continued their strategic mission-point grind. The Prime Knights, seeing an opportunity, swarmed the weakened Ankolosaur, who refused to fall.
The High Elves’ Shifters struck with precision, teleporting into position and firing deadly blasts into the Saurian ranks.
The once-mighty Saurians were buckling. Both they and the Knight Brothers were in dire straits.

Round 4: The Fall of the Saurians

The final round was a storm of destruction.
Besieged from all sides, the Saurians crumbled. Their great beasts—the Ankolosaur and the T-Rex-mounted warlord—finally fell. Only a lone Frog Mage survived, croaking his final spell in defiance.
The Knight Brothers, battered but alive, seized a final few objectives and held the line against Prime Knight aggression.
The High Elves darted across the battlefield, securing last-minute objectives with graceful speed.
But it would not be enough.
