[Campaign] Chronicles of Aerithos

[Scamator_crowned]

Scamator_crowned presents

Story: The World of Aerithos has seen the rise and fall of countless empires and countless warring races across the millennia. Races rose and fell, and yet the horns of war still rage; the many kingdoms and factions will fight for dominance of the world, as they did in all other ages, and thus, the age of prosperity will come to an end with the end of the fourth great demonic war, and once more, chaos will prosper.

Spoiler: Overview

OVERVIEW

This campaign was inspired by various custom campaigns I played over the years and the original Warcraft 3, but mostly by my love for the Roman Empire and its great history, but also by the original Warcraft 3. My idea would be for multiple campaigns that build and interact with each other.

Spoiler: Albion OF WAR

Story Overview: Following the conclusion of the fourth Great Demonic War, the map of Aerithos once again saw the rise and fall of kingdoms across the continent of Aegardis. The Empire of Albion, the strongest human nation, managed to push the demonic forces back to the Fortress of Hellfire. Unfortunately, His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Aurelius Valerius III Augustus, fell during the liberation of the Kingdom of Myrrathia. This victory forced the demons back to their twisted fortress and their demonic realm, the twisted nether. Following the emperor's death, his young son, Prince Alexander Regulus Augustus, succeeded him on the throne. The war, however, allowed the nobility to gain too much power, and the empire became destabilized. Alexander's right as emperor it's being contested by the various noble houses that gained
influence during the war, and now the young Emperor must fight the enemy's within his empire, as much as the ones outside of it.

Spoiler: Characters

	Emperor Alexander Regulus Augustus Son of the late Emperor Aurelius Valerius III Augustus, Alexander was trained from childhood in the ways of the Paladins, as is tradition for all members of the Augustus dynasty. From an early age, he displayed remarkable potential, though his talents were honed more through study than through battle. The young prince devoted himself to theory and the mastery of divine light, yet he lacked the experience of true combat. Despite this, his mentors often spoke of his extraordinary affinity with the Light — a power unmatched in generations — if only he had shown the same discipline in his physical training. Among the nobility, Alexander was regarded as a man of intellect and faith, but one who lacked the commanding presence his father had once possessed. Now, with his father’s death, Prince Alexander Regulus Augustus has ascended the throne. But as he dons the crown, the wolves begin to gather at his gates — nobles hungry for power and rivals eager to test his strength. The young emperor must forge alliances, secure his realm, and confront the aftermath of the Fourth Great Demonic War.
	Archduke Cato Vaelstrum Head of House Vaelstrum and ruler of the Archduchy of Ravenholt, Cato Vaelstrum has long been known as a man of boundless ambition — one willing to do whatever it takes to elevate his house within the tangled web of imperial politics. Originally a mere count, Cato’s shrewd maneuvering and relentless drive saw his family rise first to ducal status, and later, through a strategic marriage to a relative of the Emperor, to the prestigious rank of Archduke. Ravenholt , a wealthy province rich in untapped resources, became the foundation of his growing influence. Cato consolidated immense wealth and power there, much to the displeasure of the Imperial Senate. Though viewed with suspicion and resentment by the Senate, he remains remarkably popular among the nobility, admired for his ambition and effectiveness. The Fourth Great Demonic War provided Cato with the perfect stage to secure his legacy — his valor and strategic brilliance during the conflict earning him both glory and acclaim. Now, with the empire weakened and Emperor Alexander’s authority questioned, Cato Vaelstrum’s gaze turns toward the Imperial Throne itself. And with many nobles seeing the young emperor as unfit to rule, the Archduke may soon find his opportunity.
	Grand Marshal Alaric Stormbane A soldier through and through, Alaric Stormbane was born the son of a minor noble but found his true calling not in courtly life, but on the battlefield. From a young age, he dreamed of service in the Imperial Army, and upon reaching the proper age, he enlisted without hesitation. Assigned to the Fifth Legion, Alaric quickly distinguished himself through discipline, tactical insight, and sheer tenacity. At only twenty-three, he was promoted to Cavalry Commander after his superior fell during a border skirmish. In the years that followed, his relentless dedication and battlefield brilliance propelled him to the position of General of the Fifth Legion. During the Fourth Great Demonic War, Alaric served faithfully under Marshal Timirion, facing horrors that surpassed even the darkest tales whispered in his youth. Through courage and loyalty, he rose once more—earning the title of Marshal, and later, just before the Liberation of Myrrathia, being appointed Grand Marshal of the Empire, the highest military rank in the Imperial Army. Now, Grand Marshal Stormbane stands as the shield of Emperor Alexander’s reign, sworn to defend both the young ruler and the realm against all who threaten its stability.

Please don't multipost. Make sure the new post coming after yours is a meaningful update and not some picture with some text coming after a short while. I've asked a mod to fuse these into a main one for now.
Don't hide/blur credits. They are the most important thing.
Overall, organize the thread. See other good map development ones for inspiration.
Map Development threads are not like Hosted Project ones where you can have them locked for yourself if you want. They are public.
Also, please make sure this is not just another Legends of Arkain +/- other works ripoff as we've had quite enough of that.

The staff has to authorize such a forum so you can ask in https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/staff-contact.692/ about it but generally this kind of stuff happens when a project becomes remarkable. Currently, there's isn't much more than some ideas, not even a map file. Concepts are more for the Idea Factory subforum.
Don't get me wrong. You can post screenshots of course but if you have all the stuff in one day/short period of time, it's best to put it in one post rather than spam many one after the other.
