From the Thelgrim peninsula to the Elf-infested Eastwoods, the Deltaro coastline is a land of the dead. The stench of rot hangs low and hazy over the once-flourishing fields and forests. The necromancer Farrenghast laughs at the destruction his Undead minions have wrought. But this glorious triumph is only the beginning.

While Farrenghast's death knight Vhass Frothan directs the Undead north through the Elven forests, Farrenghast himself is leading a secondary force east along to the coast. Farrenghast's army is smaller, but increases its numbers with every battle. Soon they will be an unstoppable horde sweeping into the Sunderlands, home of Timmoran himself.
