Crimson Awakening

Crimson Awakening is a mission exclusive to True Story.

## Background

The Redfist army, especially Duke Volarian Redfist the Tyrant, wants the TOTAL eradication of all Orcs as vengeance.

While the Orcs and their allies are recovering from several major battles, they had to face another challenge, this time from their vengeance obsessed enemies.

## Opening

Ishzog preached on his usual sermons to the orcs and other races, while Okri and the others were watching. Grofzag arrived moments later, warning them of the presence of the Redfist soldiers. They prepared to fight back, while also preparing to retreat once they're overwhelmed by their enemies.

Duke Redfist consulted his commanders, Zelech, Orie Redfist, and Commander Fox to prepare for the slaughtering of the orcs when Generals Aveen Elvir and Kenos Harron come. Both of them and the Redfist agreed to end their enemies once and for all while Duke Redfist attended to family matters and wishes not to be disturbed as well as promising to rejoin them once he's done with it.

While Aedale was preparing her forces to face her father when Krogar the Conqueror arrived. Lisara scolded the Moghtar leader for being late with Krogar apologizing since he and the other Moghtar orcs had dealt with Daric and his mercenaries.

## Quest

### Main Quest

* Destroy the base of the Deathbreeze Clan.

Description:

The warchief is dead, now his race comes next. The world of Arkain neither needs nor tolerates the existence of these vile cretins. They all will be put to the sword, there can be no mercy and no forgiveness, the Orcs have nothing but harm every other race. They must die - and if their allies stand by their side, they must die too.

* Kill Duke Volarian Redfist the Tyrant
* Aedale must survive.

Description:

Aedale has been terrorized by her father all her life, unable to defend herself against him. Not only her, her entire family had suffered his tyranny all their lives. He has said things to her what no father should ever say to his children. Now, with the help of Lisara, she will make him pay.

## The Battle

Orie Redfist, Aveen Elvir and Kenos Harron prepared their forces to push through the Orcish lines. Flanking them were Redfist forces led by Zelech on the left, and Commander Fox on the right. Facing Zelech was the Ravaging Fire Clan, Blackaxe Clan and Goldaxe Clan. Fox faces Flammedus' Centaurs, Ironthunder Clan and Koydoss Tribe base. The trio faces Goblin Federation, the Allied Forces base and the two bases defending the Deathbreeze Clan bases.

The battle was a rubber band match, as the trio and their allies had to endure onslaught after onslaught of Orcs and their allies. After every base was destroyed, the leaders of respective clans fell back, and after every battle, the trio replenish their losses while waiting for allies to push through until the final push on the Deathbreeze clan base.

Meanwhile, Aedale and Krogar prepared their forces. Krogar used his ultimate skill to summon troops. They pushed on, picking off any Redfist troops around, until they arrived at the spot. Gorthog then appeared and chased after them. Lisara quickly commanded Krogar to intercept him while Aedale confronted her father and then fought him.

## Aftermath

At Orie's side, Borean halted the Redfist army to buy enough time for his allies to escape. He was then killed by Commander Fox and his troops. Orie then decided on going to her father to tell the victory but Aveen and Kennos tried to talk to her since Duke Redfist didn't want to be disturbed as he said. Orie then rebuffed them as she believes it won't bother her father. She then commanding her men to take the remains of Borean to their camp to be processed and use his fur for her father. Commander Fox then ordered his men to keep marching to hunt down the remaining Orcs.

At Aedale's side, after the Duke was defeated, Lisara commended her victory. But Orie appears and stops Aedale from killing their father then shows her the side of her story, while Lisara shows Aedale the side of the story we know. In the confusion, Aedale had casted multiple flame strikes with one accidentally hit and killed her father. Still confused on what happened, Aedale left after arguing with Lisara.

While mourning her father's death, Orie wants to chase after Aedale as revenge when Ebira appeared, offering an assistance since Lisara is also her enemy. After a brief argument and distrust, Orie then agreed to Ebira's terms.

Gorthog was able to defeat Krogar and proceeded to hunt down the remaining Moghtar forces.

## Note

This mission is similar to End of Orckind, but the Orcs were able to escape rather than being totally eradicated by the Redfist army. Vanessa wasn't present here as she was with Hortnog, negotiating peace with the Salrians.
