Talisman of Hoeth (Quest)

Talisman of Hoeth is a set piece battle in Total War: Warhammer II. It requires The Warden and the Paunch DLC to be playable.
== Quest description ==
The White Lions worked quickly. Eltharion's scouts sent to shadow them soon find the great cats feasting upon some malformed stragglers from the Chaos army, and soon after the main force of the Ruinous host is sighted.
With the enemy's destination determined, Eltharion sets out to intercept them at the next Waystone being targeted, the Winds growing ever stronger as he draws close...
==Description==
The goal of the henious forces of chaos is clear. They want the destruction of the ancient waystones, an act that would leave Ulthuan exposed and disrupt the flow of the Winds of Magic into the Great Vortex. Not only would the Elves' island-haven be overrun by Daemonic evil, but Chaos would eventually be able to manifest freely and unabated across the entire world. This is the Warden's burden; he has no choice but to answer his calling and stop them at all costs.
== Dialogue ==
Eltharion: Hark, Kinsmen! It is now clear that the weakening of the Talisman was not without reason. The medallion's connection to the ancient Waystones has revealed a dire fate.
This ruinous host of Chaos seeks to destroy this Waystone, and all others that protect Ulthuan. Our proximity to it shall grant us power, but it also nourishes our foes.
The Keepers of the Stones shall send aid from the mountain pass to the north, but the river will not slow these twisted beings for long. We must hold this position to the last.
If we fail, Yvresse will fall, and all Ulthuan will be next. The fate of the Vortex - nay, the entire world - rests on our shoulders.
== Objectives ==
Hold back the Chaos forces - reinforcements are on the way!
== Lines ==
The very fabric of reality weakens! A Lord of Change pierces the veil between worlds with a host of horrific beasts and brings hell-wrought artillery to bombard you!
The cries of Phoenixes echo through the mountain pass - the Keepers of the Stones come to aid you!
==Bugs==
As of The Warden and the Paunch DLC launch, this battle will crash if you capture one of their heroes. This a bug, probably caused from the enemies not being from factions on the map for Athel Tamarha to interact with.
==Strategy==
You get to hold with the chaos forces crossing a river, shouldn't be too hard to hold the first wave.
You can retreat after you force the first wave back and only deal with the reinforcements from the east, the allied reinforcements can finish the battle with very little help, so don't take more casualties than you have to.
