2011 Spring Map Campaign Rule Discussion: Part III Campaign Activities

and addendum to Part II the Realm.
II.D. Drafting realm heroes. For each city not on the coast (a city on the coast is also referred to as a port) within a player’s realm, the player may recruit an additional named hero. However, this named hero does not come with an army and must be attached to an existing realm or raid army. He is considered a realm hero. The named hero may be either an epic hero or that of a legendary formation from the WotR book. Note that a few legendary formation requires two named heroes to be fielded. All players roll a die to establish an order, highest first and lowest roll last. Resolve ties with a roll off.
