The Vanguard is the seventeenth scenario in The Rise of Wesnoth campaign.
Background
The arrival of the orcs on the Green Isle forced many humans to flee their homes and travel to Southbay, from which they were evacuated across the Great Ocean to the Great Continent. Their leader, Prince Haldric, inadvertently attracted the attention of the orcs' leader, Lich-Lord Jevyan, by wielding the Ruby of Fire. As he left, Haldric promised to send back ships to search for survivors.[1] Jevyan's familiar followed the humans across the Great Ocean, spying upon the refugees.[2][3][4]
Upon arriving at the Great Continent, Haldric sent a third of his ships back to the Green Isle.[4] One of the men saved thereby was Commander Aethyr. Haldric formed a Pact of Mutual Aid with the Ka'lian, such that they agreed to come to each other's aid in the event of trouble. Before Haldric departed the elves, however, Aethyr found him and covertly informed him that they had been followed by the orcs.[5] Though they hastened west to meet the orcs, Lady Jessene remained behind to spy on the elves, and discovered that they had found out about the orcs and agreed to break the Pact of Mutual Aid if the humans continued to attract orcs to the Great Continent.[6] Jessene swiftly caught up with Haldric, who was preparing to battle the approaching threat.[7]
