This area is a special training area and is the site for your final exam. Many have failed this test, while more have passed it. Good luck.
Prologue
The Forest Guard is Erathia's eyes and ears. We go where we are needed most and that is usually places difficult for traditional fighting forces to reach. We are shadows of the forest that see all and bring silent death with a single, unseen bowshot. You have done well in your training, Gelu, but now has come the time to take the final test. A small valley near Gaia's Crest will be the site of this trial. Clear the region of all the enemies to earn your place among the ranks of the Forest Guard. Good luck.

| Day 1 - Opening
|
| Congratulations, cadet. You have but one test left to complete your training and join the illustrious ranks of the Forest Guard. You are to conquer this region of the valley near Gaia's Crest. This region is filled with monsters, several towns and a few Forest Guard members posing as potential enemies. This is a well-traveled land, so navigation should be quite easy. To pass this trial, you must defeat everyone in the land by whatever means necessary. Good luck, cadet. May the Light shine down upon you.

| Day 11 - A Lesson in Adversity
|

| Day 31 - Words of Encouragement
|
| It has been 30 days since you began your mission. You are taking too long. As a member of the Forest Guard, you must be able move quickly to strike your enemy, attacking him while he is still weak and vulnerable. The less he knows about our activities in a region, the less likely he is to be prepared for our assaults. Hasten your attacks and secure this region immediately. Lives depend upon our rapid deployment.
|
| Day 61 - 60 Days Later
|
| Cadet, this is getting ridiculous! A region of this size should have been cleared by now. Forest Guard missions require speed, stealth, and efficiency. Perhaps we should re-evaluate your progress and send you back to training. Now hurry up and secure the area!

This city looks like the perfect place for a base of operations. Take it and build it up quickly. But we wary! Your opponents might slip in and take it from you while you are away. Be sure to leave some troops and possibly a lieutenant behind to defend the city from attacks.

The dark and foreboding trail is ominously quiet. Suddenly you hear the hissing of hundreds of snakes. Before you even get a chance to turn back, more than two dozen Medusae slither out and attack.
