Warzones
This year's Maelstrom Mixer takes place in the Leria Sector. A vast expanse spanning 5.8 million cubic lightyears, the sector is fertile and diverse, and numerous conflicts among an untold number of souls play out across its hundreds of systems. When a shunned Farseer from the Craftworld Dam-Nait goes missing, events are set in motion that will tug on the strands of fate across the sector.
Players at Maelstrom Mixer will be assigned to one of four distinct warzones, each a bespoke conflict between a small number of rival factions with a fully developed backstory and plot ark. The two sides in these conflicts will see 5-7 players working together as a team to accomplish their faction's goals. Over the course of the weekend, you will get to know your fellow teammates, learning how best to apply your collective talents and army compositions to the challenges you face. Similarly, you will come to know the rival Warlords in your warzone, each of them posessing charecteristic strengths ... as well as weakness that can be exploited.

The Adjudication of Airom

However, answering their prayers is a lost group of the Imperium’s finest, searching for tithe and supplies, but all they will find is heresy and ruin.

General Gitzgrog's Grand Design
Rumors have been spreading across the Leria Sector of a growing menace characterized by systematic and focused raids effected by Ork raiding parties.
