The Alornian Dispute — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Alornian Dispute is an Extra Large underground scenario of 144 by 144 tiles for eight players, all of whom can be human, grouped into three teams. Its backstory reimagines the Belgarion saga: Belgarath, rather than Belgarion, seals the sleeping Torak away in Cthol Murgos, while a Tolnedran king's quarrel divides the Alorn kingdoms and gives Taur Urgas an opening to strike west. The factions include Castle, Rampart, Fortress, Tower, Inferno, Necropolis and Stronghold. Rock covers about half the map, with water, grass and lava making up the rest. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. The map holds 18 towns, 84 mines, 27 creature banks and 13 named artifacts, along with 19 timed events.

Author's description

In this scenario, Belgarion never traveled to Cthol Mishrak. Instead, Belgarath imprisoned the sleeping Torak to somewhere in Cthol Murgos. The king of Tolnedra, Ran Borune XXIII, broke the relations between the other Alorns. Taur Urgas took the chance and will eventually attack west.
