Southbay in Winter is the second interlude in The Rise of Wesnoth campaign.

Background

After the invasion of the Green Isle by the orcs, various human factions fled, including the Wesfolk,[1] the Kingdom of Stormvale,[2] and the Kingdom of Clearwater. Led by Prince Haldric, they set sail from Clearwater Port for the Kingdom of Southbay. Instead of landing directly at Southbay, Haldric and his soldiers detoured to Fallen Lich Point,[3] then navigated the sewer of Southbay.[4]

During the exodus, Haldric had obtained the Ruby of Fire, a valuable artifact once owned by the Lich-Lords.[5] Lady Jessene helped him to also obtain the Book of Fire and Darkness, a tome regarding the Ruby of Fire, written in the Old Wesfolk tongue.[6]

Interlude

Emerging from the sewer exit, Haldric and his close companions before Addroran, pledging his loyalty to Southbay. Addroran expressed his admiration for both Haldric and his father, and asked whether Haldric was now King of Stormvale, but Haldric quipped that he could not be king with neither land nor crown. Nonetheless, Addroran complimented Haldric whilst bemoaning his own sons' failings.[7]

Upon noticing Jessene, a Wesfolk, in his presence, Addroran ordered that she be cast outside with the other Wesfolk. Haldric pleaded for Addroran to reconsider, noting the usefulness of the Wesfolk. Jessene swore to save the lives of the people of Stormvale on the condition that all Wesfolk would be permitted to enter the city. Addroran agreed to these terms.[7]

Jessene mentioned that she was able to translate the Book of Fire and Darkness, a valuable artifact. Jessene also spoke of her history as a navigator for Addroran's firstborn son, and that the humans needed to travel east. Addroran initially scoffed at the idea of fleeing the Green Isle, but was eventually persuaded by Jessene, who spoke of the orcs' limitless numbers.[7]

Despite the decision being made, Addroran decided for them to stay at Southbay until spring, considering it worthwhile to spend the time provisioning the ships with fish.[7]
