Thunderstrike Season 2
Coaches of the Mortal Realms,
The winds have shifted, and the forest now reigns supreme. The last season saw the Wood Elves rise in triumph, and the echoes of our victory still linger in the sacred groves. As the new season dawns, I, Elarion Leafshadow, Forest Warlord and Keeper of the Glade, call upon you to return to the arena—now under the watchful eyes of the ancient trees and spirits.
The pitch, once a place of mere blood and iron, has been transformed by our magic. The vines weave through the stands, and the whispers of the forest guide the paths of the swift and cunning. Here, only those who respect the wilds and master the chaos of battle shall survive.
As you prepare your teams, remember that the forest favors the agile, the strategic, and the swift. Will your warriors be quick enough to evade the grasp of the undergrowth, or will they be ensnared by the thorns of fate? The arena awaits your challenge.
Step forward, coaches, and prove your worth under the gaze of the woodland spirits. Let the games begin anew, and may the forest judge who is truly worthy of victory.
In the shadow of the ancient oaks,
Elarion Leafshadow
Forest Warlord and Keeper of the Glade
