Xadrel is stranded. She was foolish to lead the Lizardkin to this forsaken land. The enemy found her and is relentlessly attacking! Her only hope is to perform a ritual at the last left camp - Eldeman'xyl, sacrificing an Angel wings in the name of the water-spirits, opening for her an escape portal.

Clever ideas in this map:
* Having a treasure that's behind a border gate, but there's a side door: a quest tower you can do to get in early.
* Having the enemy drive you out of your home base onto the ocean. It seemed designed this way: an exciting attack wave early on that you can repulse, and one a bit later that you never could. It adds a lot of adventure to a map to have to find a new home. It kind of kills the excitement though that the AI won't chase you -- it spent so long exploring my old home that it didn't get a boat on the water for weeks.
* Interesting to have a map with almost no mines. All scavenging. I might have made the resources tighter to make you really appreciate those resource finds.
* I like how you can explore to find one-way gates that take you back home, instead of having to boringly sail back.
* Because it's a campaign, the quests that offer a stat boost are extra enticing because you will get to use it.
* I really liked the sign that gives you a hint where to dig for the grail. Made me feel clever, and I hardly ever get because digging everywhere seems so tedious.
Overall review: I liked the on-your-toes beginning, I liked having a map that was so focused on exploration by sail rather than holding mines or conquering. I didn't really enjoy trying out all the dead-end paths at the end.
