Week 1: The region of Death's Curtain has slowly become a blight on the world with mutation running rampant. The local treefolk have finally taken it upon themselves to remove the threat from their once beautiful forests. They began by advancing into neighboring areas, hoping to take hold of important terrain before it became "infected" by the neighboring swampstalkers. They formed an alliance with the Fletcher of Ind, hoping to utilize his skills in future battles. They also advanced east through the Carnal Forest, hoping to secure alliances with the amazons of Neverseed City by the Bay of tears. The amazons readily accepted the presence of the treefolk since they did not appear to be hostile, however they were reluctant to provide military support at the time. The treefolk also moved north from their beloved Fey Patch and accidentally discovered a cesspool of swamp stalkers nearby. A battle enseud, but the treefolk were not prepared for the ferocity of the defending swamp stalkers and were quickly forced to retreat.	Week 2: The treefolk were not quite prepared for war and therefore tried to occupy more territory instead of seeking out new enemies. They marched south from the Fey Patch to occupy swampland territory. This allowed them to join with more of their kin who reside in the southern mountain range. These other treefolk secured the Limitless Caverns by clearing out a few goblins who were living within. The slow march continued as treefolk moved south from the Bay of Tears. They secured more uncontested territory within the Carnal Forest. Hellyanafin, an Elder Dryad, spent considerable time researching the Circle of Damnation and discovered the secret of its use. Hope began to rise within the hearts of the noble forest creatures and they danced long into the night under the canopy of stars. Their joy would be short lived... swamp stalkers encroached upon the Fey Patch, invading from two sides simutaneously. Though unprepared for a fight, the treefolk reacted as one angry soul. They fought with unexpected ferocity and managed to drive the invaders from their land.
Week 3: Hellyanafin sent her Naiads on a very important mission. They moved swiftly across the swampy waters throughout the region of Death's Curtain until they found all of their treefolk kin. They warned of a malice growing within the center of the region. Treefolk shuddered, grew angry, and shook the earth as they prepared for a larger war than originally anticipated. They skirted the crystal lake, discovering the ruins of Ostval along the base of the mountains. The ruined city was searched until clues were found that would help in the war against the swamp stalkers. An ancient scroll was discovered that told about the Rings of Gadravan in the northern reaches of the Sparkling Mountains. These rings would enable a wizard to summon creatures that would provide aid in a battle. The treefolk of the north immediately sought these rings so they could utilize them in the future. An oak lord gathered his troops and skirted the Blight Woods, moving west to blockade paths from the north, hoping to stem the enemy's advance.	Week 4: The treefolk continued to advance into unoccupied terrain, hoping to gain control of the most strategic areas of Death's Curtain. The inhabitants of the Carnal Forest moved both north and south. To the north, a large force of swampstalkers met the advancing treefolk and prepared for battle along the Fortune River. The fight was a major success for the treefolk. Hellyanafin was able to utilize the Circle of Damnation and the Rings of Gadravan to summon a dragonkin champion to the battle. The creature sought out an enemy dragonhunter and killed him before he could inflict harm on the forest folk. With this major threat removed, it was only a matter of time before the treefolk were able to capture the river. To the south, the treefolk were seeking the aid of Master Labosh, an expert swordmaster, but encountered a force of swamp stalkers who were seeking the same person! A battle ensued in the surrounding forest... it was quick and painful. The treefolk suffered a decisive loss. They were unable to organize quickly and the enemy easily outmatched them with magical prowess. The treefolk of the southern mountains moved west to occupy the broad grasslands. They could sense the presence of powerful air magic within the area. War had never struck the grasslands and the new inhabitants basked in the pure essence of nature.
Week 5: Sensing a flood to the north, the treefolk moved from the Fey Patch into the swamp stalker breeding grounds to the north. They hoped to elimate the threat while the marshlands were flooded. They quickly discovered that the swamp stalkers were able to move unhindered within the deep water. It wasn't long before the two forces met in battle at the foothills of the Sparkling Mountains. The battle was quick and the swamp stalkers easily outmaneuvered the treefolk over the flooded terrain. Hellyanafin sent some of her forces to the east to occupy more of the southern mountains in order to intercept the growng threat in the east. The oak lord, Nagrathias, moved his forces into the Blight Woods. This action prevented swamp stalkers from moving unhindered into the southern mountains. The south and northeastern reaches of Death's Curtain were quickly becoming impenetrable regions, controlled by the treefolk. They were finally ready for war and began preparations for a massive offensive against the vile swamp stalkers.	Week 6: Once again defeated at the swamp stalker breeding grounds, the treefolk became determined to end the feud once and for all. They gathered forces and moved back into swamp stalker territory from both the Sparkling Mountains and the Fey Patch. They hoped that an attack from two sides would be enough win the battle. The tactic proved to be sound... the swamp stalkers were easily defeated. To the west of the Rings of Gadravan, enemy forces combined to attack the treefolk in the swampland east of Resonus Forest. The treefolk knew that it would be a difficult battle and enlisted the help of Ingorius Mellanoth, a dragonmaster from the north. Once again, the treefolk were victorious! The battle was fairly one-sided due to outmaneuvering.
Week 7: The treefolk continued to occupy unclaimed territory. They also attacked their enemies east of the Fey Patch, hoping to utilize the valuable terrain to their advantage. Sadly, the treefolk became delayed in large patches of water where they were outmaneuvered. The swampstalkers began to rain down missile fire into the treefolk ranks before they were able to gain ground. They never recovered from the assault and were forced to flee back into the Fey Patch. They braced for a counterattack from the swampstalkers north at the vile breeding ground. The attack started weakly and the treefolk were able to overpower the enemy with a constant barrage of magic. Eventually, though, the swampstalkers were able to sneak around the flank and secure enough territory to defeat the treefolk. They retreated into the Fey Patch to regroup, singing songs of mourning for the those who had died in battle. Soon thereafter, nymph scouts began to notice that swamp stalkers were withdrawing from occupied territory! The treefolk had caused significant damage to the enemy and had forced them to retreat. Though the army was not annihilated, it was temporarily defeated. The treefolk had become the sworn protectors of the diminishing amazon settlements and were successful in their campaign against the swamp stalkers. The enemy was, however, likely to recoup over time. Thus, the treefolk remained vigilant by patrolling their borders and knew that they would eventually be thrust back into war with their enemies.
