- Realm of the Wood Elves unlocks Orion, Durthu and Drycha in Immortal Empires; The Twisted & The Twilight unlocks the Sisters of Twilight.
Factions and leaders
Talsyn
Leader: Orion.
Orion leads the Elven warriors of Talsyn. His Wild Hunt and Offices support expeditions beyond the forest.
Argwylon
Leader: Durthu.
Durthu leads Argwylon as an ancient Treeman, combining a forest-spirit identity with the Wood Elf restoration campaign.
Wargrove of Woe
Leader: Drycha.
Drycha leads vengeful spirits and Glamoured Elves, with a quest to free the Legendary Hero Coeddil.
Heralds of Ariel
Leader: Sisters of Twilight.
Naestra and Arahan lead together as the Sisters of Twilight. The Forge of Daith adds equipment choices to their campaign.
Archers and forest spirits
Glade Guard provide the bow fire, while Tree Kin help hold an enemy in place. Give the archers room to change position and keep a route open when fast attackers approach. A forest-spirit centre and a mobile shooting wing need to stay close enough to support each other.
Orion and Durthu offer different leaders for Athel Loren. Drycha puts hostile forest spirits at the centre of her campaign. The Sisters of Twilight lead the Heralds of Ariel and bring a flying ranged lord to the same race.
Heal the forests, travel the Deeproots
Heal magical forests and use the Deeproots to move armies between them. Forest Health depends on nearby Heathlands as well as battles in the forest and its surroundings. A Ritual of Rebirth restores a forest; completing one also earns Amber for technology.
The Deeproots connect distant magical forests, with a cooldown between journeys. Before moving your main army away, consider who can defend the forest you leave behind. A distant forest can open a new front while the original border still needs attention.
Use the Forest Health panel to identify the Heathlands around your forest. Friendly control or razing those settlements can help restoration; the next useful objective may be a nearby threat rather than another distant province.
Heroes for a Wood Elf army
Spellsingers bring spellcasting, Branchwraiths combine forest-spirit melee with magic, and Waystalkers supply specialised bow fire. Choose support around the army you are actually recruiting: another ranged character fills a different need from a caster accompanying the holding troops.
Drycha has her own recruitment restrictions and a quest to free the Legendary Hero Coeddil. Her hostile relationship with the Elves is reflected in Glamoured Elves, so her support choices deserve separate attention.
Stories for the Wood Elf lords
Realm of the Wood Elves unlocks Orion and Durthu, and Drycha is free with that pack. The Twisted and the Twilight unlocks the Sisters of Twilight. All four share the forests and the Deeproots. The Sisters add the Forge of Daith.
The Vaults of Winter follows Orion through a cursed spring. Durthu's page stays with Argwylon and the pact. Drycha's stays with the Wargrove and Coeddil. The Sisters' page stays with Naestra, Arahan, and Daith's Favour.
