Saving Elensefar
The tale of Meneldur's great Sea Voyage
- another campaign by turin
Description
Meneldur, the Elven Mariner, has docked in the city of Elensefar to discuss matters with the Admiral. Years ago he removed himself from the Elven lands and assembled a motley crew of elven archers, spearman and fencers to roam the seas, defending Elensefar which he has pledged his allegiance to. During the night when his ship The Explorer was in the harbor, the sound of harsh yells could be heard, and the air smelled of burning pitch. Elensefar was conquered, but Meneldur vowed to return some day and retake his adopted homeland...
