The Red Woman muttered the incantation over and over, her hand wrapped around the Dothraki’s arakh. The weapon felt hot in the Dothraki’s hands, as though it was being remade in a forge. It burst into flames, as did the thousands of arakhs the other Dothraki warriors held aloft, a maelstrom of fire.
“Vijazerat!” they screamed as they charged heedlessly into the dark.
The Story
"The Dothraki charge with their flaming arakhs led by Jorah and Ghost. At the same time, catapults and trebuchets launch a flaming barrage onto the undead army. However, as the Dothraki horde fades into the dark, all the flames vanish; only a few Dothraki, Jorah and Ghost manage to escape and flee to Winterfell."
The Scenario
This scenario utilizes the Others Faction. This is the first scenario in a 6-part series that covers the Battle of Winterfell from the divisive Season 8 episode "The Long Night." It is followed by the Last Ride of the Dothraki.
Inspired by this great battle report from Le Bar à Théo, it helped me realize that the battle could be easily broken down into several scenarios. This became my main inspiration for creating the Others faction (in addition to the fact that CMON seemingly has no interest in making them).
This is the only scenario of the six that gives the living player cavalry, so make sure to use your speed to your advantage. The Others player may want to consider 1 or 2 units of Prowler Wights to scare the horses away with their Petrified Mount ability.
This is a fan-made scenario inspired by CMON Limited’s A Song of Ice & Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game and is in no way associated with CMON.
