Insurgents

Insurgents is a unique dilemma for the Dark Elves race introduced in Total War Warhammer II and part of the loyalty game mechanic.

This random chance dilemma can only be triggered once for a high loyalty lord and gives the player three choices with differing bonuses and effects, namely:


 * The crafted Righteous Wrath weapon item
 * Temporary moderate magic resistance and Winds of Magic power reserve bonuses for all armies
 * Temporary minor weapon strength buff to all armies and minor untainted bonus for all provinces adjoining owned provinces

Regardless of the choice, the lord with high loyalty will receive a small amount of experience.

The name of the lord that triggered this event is displayed under the dilemma name.

Trivia
Har Kaldra, known as the "Forgotten City," was once a mighty Dark Elven fortress that dominated the landward passes between Naggarond and the Ironfrost Glacier.

Now it is a scarred and ruined crater, surrounded by the out flung remnants of its own walls, a testament to Malekith's fickle rage. It was the Witch King who wrought Har Kaldra's ruin, meeting the rebellion within its walls with all the sorcerous might at his command.

Thousands perished in that one night of horror and fury, and thousands more were taken in bondage to Naggarond, there to die in its firepits and gladiatorial arenas.
