Life and death . . . Light and shadow . . .
For countless ages of the world, the elves have been a people divided, exemplified by their two queens: The dark and brooding Arachna, ruling from the shadowed Vale of Aranae in the bleak north, and the fair and regal Serena with her stronghold upon the green isle of Riverrun in the willow-medes of the south.
Between the two sundered fairy courts, division ran rampant throughout the land of Silverdale, weakening the ancient power of the elves . . . making the banks of the Silver River an attractive target for the ambitions of an ascendant humanity. Craven mortals now run rampant through the dales, claiming the land for their own and laying its people in bondage.
Can the two sisters, long estranged and as different as night and day, be able to set aside their old hatreds and save their people?

Hey, everybody! I'm returning to one of my favorite games from the old days after finding it on GOG and I made my first custom map in like a decade. "The Bonds of Sisterhood" is a quick little story-based 1-player 2v2 scenario with player-controlled dark elves allied with high elves. Which I think is fun.
Suggestions:
* Set the AI to the highest difficulty you feel comfortable playing against, to make sure the humans' expansion is suitably aggressive
* Make sure allied victory is enabled (I'm not sure if there's a way to do that within the editor). Otherwise you'll have to conquer the willow-medes, which would probably get a bit tedious. Might be fun if you're looking for a challenge, tho.
