The Knights of Caledor
Select High Elves and Knights of Caledor for Imrik’s Immortal Empires campaign. Dragon encounters lead him to unusual Dragons, with opportunities to challenge them and gain their allegiance.
Prepare the army before committing to a Dragon battle. The campaign’s distinctive rewards are a reason to build toward those encounters, while settlements and ordinary field battles still need attention. Consider which part of the army will keep fighting when Imrik leaves the main line.
Minaithnir and the supporting army
Imrik’s background and battlefield identity centre on Dragonkind, including his Dragon Minaithnir. A Dragon can reach exposed targets and influence a wide area, but its size also makes hostile missiles and anti-large troops important threats.
Pick an engagement that the rest of the force can support. Spearmen can protect the ranged troops while Sea Guard watch a wing. If the Dragon lands far beyond those troops, it may face several enemy units before help arrives. Reposition when the engagement becomes crowded.
Keep a ground formation
Dragon hunting can encourage a focus on the monsters themselves. Keep enough infantry and support to protect the army’s firing positions and respond where a flying lord cannot remain.
Caradryan offers a separate martial hero through his Tides of Torment recruitment missions. Compare Imrik with Teclis for a magic-focused expedition or Aislinn for a campaign whose mobility comes from Dragonships.
Knights of Caledor and the dragon encounters
Imrik is High Elf Free-LC. The February 2023 FAQ uses him as the example: Warhammer II, or The Warden and the Paunch, is enough to add him. The Queen and the Crone and Aislinn's pack are the other High Elf routes already on his page. Knights of Caledor send him to dragon encounters and the chance of their allegiance. Minaithnir is his dragon.
A dragon reaches targets the spears cannot, and it draws missiles. Spearmen and Lothern Sea Guard keep a ground formation. Sword of Caledor is the twins' search for Sunfang, the sword of Caledor Dragontamer. That novel is not a life of Imrik. The shared name is the ancestor's, and the campaign is the dragon hunt.
