Conflict in Esper

Marcial finally received the orders he had been waiting for. Advance! He gathered his forces and pushed into Esper. He was met by the forces Arkamodas. The metal creatures of Esper proved a mighty force, slowly crushing Marcial’s force until he was forced to withdraw. Regrouping Marcial formed a new line, but the force of Esper ground forward with an ominous sense of inevitability. Marcial and his men fought bravely, but to no avail as the forces of Esper advanced into Bant.

In Bant Arkamodas’s forces met with Imanu’s tribe, who had finally found their way to a more civilised land. Imanu brought forth his mightiest Gargantuans, but Arkamodus had gathered some of the most potent poisons from Esper, along with a powerful banishing charm, and could keep the great beasts under control. With the Gargantuans dealt with it was just the Humans, Elves and Nacatl to oppose Arkamodas’s metal monsters. Arkamodas paused to study the events of battle as Imanu launched a counter attack. The Nacatl came swift and strong, leaving the Gargantuans behind and crashing into Arkamodas’s forces before they were ready and the Esperites were driven back. Nayan potent deconstruction magic proved most useful as Imanu dismantled the metal monsters and banishment charms. Arkamodas struck back reigning death and banishment upon the Nayans, defeating beast after beast as his forces ground forward. Returning to Esper with what he had learned and fortified the area near the Grixis incursion.

Deciding that a metal face would prove more durable, and less flammable, than a flesh one the Grand Necromancer relocated to Esper in search of new parts for his body. Arkamodas was ready to meet him in battle. Unlike his previous foes the hoard of minions that the Grand Necromancer unleashed was unending, as previously defeated zombies would rise again, clawing at the Etherium covered creatures. Arkamodas retaliated by gathering a force of flying creatures and soaring over the hoard of undead to attack their master. The Grand Necromancer fell back from the aerial onslaught, rallied his hoard and drove back into Arkamodas’s force, drowning the Esperites in an unending tide of corpses, and pressing towards an Esper stronghold.
