Siege of the Elder Forest 2026

The ancient Elder Forest has long been protected by the Heart Tree, a sacred source of magic that keeps darkness at bay. But now a sinister alliance has emerged from the shadows, determined to seize its power. Defending the forest, a guild of cunning Rogues, a skilled Elven Archer, a wise Mage, a swift Centaur, a fearless Dwarf Sapper, and a mighty Ballista crew hidden among the trees. Together, they guard the Heart Tree and the secret paths of the forest. Opposing them are the forces of darkness: Goblin Archers stalk the undergrowth, a Skeletal Archer fires cursed arrows from the darkness, a Warlock commands foul magic, a savage Manticore prowls the woods, a terrible Beholder watches from hidden clearings, and a fearsome Red Dragon seeks to burn the forest to ash. Both sides conceal their positions beneath the forest canopy, searching for their enemies and striking when the opportunity arises. As the battle rages through the ancient woods, only one force will emerge victorious and decide the fate of the Elder Forest…. But which one?...
