Map[edit]
-
Beyond the Border initial view -
Beyond the Border without fog
The map includes Fog of War.
For the first half of the map, the enemy will only attack when you come into their range, and no reinforcements will arrive. Once you cross either of the bridges along the river, Sedge will arrive, units will be recruited from his Barracks, and all remaining enemies on the map will begin to advance on you.
Story[edit]
13th June, Floran Borderlands
On their journey to Heavensong, Mercia and Emeric travel through the Gloomwoods, home to the Floran tribes. Under an agreement, the Cherrystone has right to safe passage through the Gloomwoods, giving them a path the Felheim legion cannot follow. However, as they enter the woods, they encounter a Floran named Sedge, who seems only intent to kill and eat them.
After defeating Sedge in self-defence, Greenfinger, king of the Floran, arrives to see the unfamiliar faces. Before they have a chance to explain themselves, Sedge accusses them of being invaders who would destroy the Gloomwoods, placing Mercia and Emeric in a dangerous predicament.

Dialogue[edit]
- (Enter Sedge)
Who are these interlopers?
We don't mean you any harm, Floran. We just need to cross your lands.
Crossing through the Gloomwoods. A dangerousss choice...
These are Floran lands. Thisss is where we live, thisss is where we hunt...
Humans do not come here.
The Cherrystone Kingdom negociated the right to safe passage generations ago.
I know we don't use it very often, but we need it now. We have no choice.
Where the little lady ssseeks passage, Sedge seeks sssustenance.
Do you threaten the Queen of Cherrystone?!
Hahaha, 'Queen'... Sssilly titles do no impress Sedge.
Whatever you call yourssselves, you're still just meat and bone.
Sssedge will eat the old man first and the little lady for ssseconds.
Stand down stranger, or be cut down.
Introduction Dialogue
This forest is so dense, and the fog so thick... But we must press on!
We should use out Battle pups to scout ahead.
Pups inflict Critical Hits when another pup is adjacent to their target.
More importantly, they can see furthest through the fog. We should send one of them
up this mountain.
Being atop a moutain extends the sight range of a unit, so this is a good position
from which to spot hidden enemies.
Let's move forward - carefully.
See an enemy in the Fog of War
There... Hidden among the trees.
Floran soldiers lying in wait...
Now that we can see them, they've lost the element of surprise.
Capture the central Barracks
Happening upon these old Barracks is most fortunate for us.
We should use this opportunity to bolster our ranks before crossing the river.
End of Emeric's turn after crossing river
Are you scared yet?
You ssshould be.
- (Sedge's turn)
There's movement to the north and the south!
It may be wise to put some Battlepups on the nearby mountains.
Start of Emeric's turn when Groove is active
Emeric, your Groove is ready!
Indeed. This old man still has a few tricks up his sleeve!
What does it do?
I am able to conjure up a gem known as a 'Cherrystone' - a powerful protective object.
It's aura provides a dramatic defence bonus for our units!
Wow!
Defeated Sedge or his Barracks
You think you can beat Ssedge so easily?
Emeric is defeated
Hahaha! That was a good hunt.
You should have ssscouted ahead with your dogs, old man.
Hssss!
Thiss isn't the end of the hunt...
Sedge will watch you, Sedge will ssstalk you, and when you least expect it...
Sedge will pounce.
- (Enter Greenfinger)
Sedge!
There you are.
Who are these strangers?
We're--
Invaders!
!
Humans bent on the destruction of The Gloomwoods!
Ssedge caught them. Ssedge defeated them.
Greenfinger need not worry - ssson they will be dead!
Greenfinger? The Floran king!
