Return of the Fleet is the eighteenth scenario in The Rise of Wesnoth campaign.
Background
The humans of the Green Isle were forced to flee east across the Great Ocean to the Great Continent when they were invaded by the orcs.[1][2] Their leader and wielder of the Ruby of Fire, Prince Haldric, agreed to send back ships from the Great Continent to search for remaining survivors. Before departing, however, the Lich-Lord Jevyan sensed Haldric had the Ruby of Fire.[2] Upon arriving at the Great Continent, he sent back the ships as agreed,[3] then negotiated with the elves to earn a section of land in which to settle. As part of the negotiations, Haldric and the Ka'lian agreed to a Pact of Mutual Aid, according to which they would help each other in times of trouble.[4]
After the pact was made, Haldric discovered that he had been followed by the orcs from the Green Isle, and hurried to meet them while his companion, Lady Jessene, remained behind to spy on the elves.[4] She discovered that the elves had become aware of the orcish threat, and were reconsidering whether they should uphold the Pact of Mutual Aid, eventually agreeing that if orcs continued to follow the humans, that they would let the humans fight it out, after which the elves would collaborate with the dwarves in dealing with the survivors.[5]
Jessene returned to Haldric on the eve of battle and informed him of the elves' betrayal. She also implied that the orcs had been sent by Jevyan to retrieve the Ruby of Fire. He instructed her to hide the Ruby of Fire in the Brown Hills. When his lieutenant, Commander Aethyr, informed Haldric that the orcs had not arrived on the same ships that Haldric had sent back, Haldric realized that in order for the refugees still at sea to land, he would have to clear the Great Continent's shoreline. As Jessene did as she'd been tasked, Haldric defeated the vanguard of Jevyan's army, before hastening west to the beach.[6] He arrived at the shoreline where the orcs had encamped.[7]
