I know that EotA: Exodus comes after Twilight, but what about Maze? How's that fit in?
Maze came before Twilight - it part of the search for where the artifact might be located
Were the United Creeps and Elven Battalion the only ones fighting at Stormwail Peak, or were the Grim Brigade there, as well? I heard something mentioned about undead attacks on the way to the Exodus castle, so I can assume they were harried all the way there.
* Did the UC follow after them and attack them, too, or were they still recovering and just lagging behind the Elves?
* Did the Fel Horde only come into play at the Battle of the Exodus at the castle, or were they intermittently attacking everyone throughout all this?
At Stormwail it was just those two. After they got it they retreated to their ships and headed back to the main continent, where they had to take it inland. The naga were aligned with the UC but switched sides to the elves and joined up with them during the ocean trip. Around the time of Stormwail was a fight between the Grim Brigade and the Fel Horde in Gloomreap. The undead heard of the elves finding it, knew where it was headed, and thus attempted interception but failed. The UD army was kind of broken at that point, but the elves and naga more so. The Fel Horde only caught up once the siege of Exodus castle began.
What is the 'Exodus castle', anyway? Is it one of the Elves' cities/fortresses? I noticed a bunch of houses in the western district, so I was wondering about that.
It's one of the human capitals that I really need to name someday. It was largely picked from being the center point for alliance forces.
How many races and significant groups are there, really, from least to most powerful? I know the Elven Battalion, United Creeps, Grim Brigade and Fel Horde are the major players, here, but Humans and Dwarves are also confirmed, as well as uncorrupted Orcs, it seems (though I could be wrong, here).
Hmm, its a little hard to rank them but roughly (and I'll probably forget some factions) this:
- Fel Horde is the strongest, but they're generally off on their own continent with internal struggles
- The alliance as a whole would be second strongest (humans, elves, naga, uncorrupted orcs), but I'll list factions separately
- Humans are the most dominant on the main continent, but they're not a singular nation
- Grim Brigade is relatively small at the start of the war, but with everything going to hell they swelled and ended up in large swaths everywhere. Not meaning to copy WC3, but a similar result happened, they basically would travel from A to B and ended up blighting everything in between. I'd say their #2 for singular force by the end, although very spread out and not entirely under control
- Elves are a fairly small but elite force that sticks to their forests but have been at a constant stalemate/slow loss to the undead for the last centaury or so
- Naga are numerous but weak since their domain is mostly uncontested (only the undead posed any threat to them)
- Uncorrupted orcs are basically refugees from the other continent, they invaded the plains where there were only some nomadic human tribes and took the area over, but they're fairly small in numbers and only barely get along with their neighbors
- Dwarves don't really have enough cohesion to be a nation - the majority of them are slaves and the free ones are basically just off where its not worth bothering them. They pretty much don't trust or hate everyone.
- Numerous individual races/tribes that make up the united creeps (furblogs trolls treants giants satyrs etc.)
