The scenario is the continuation of the story of Fallen Enchantress about Relias of Altar and his struggle against the forces of the Fallen and Oracle Ceresa, so it is actually more like a one map campaign and not really a scenario. In addition, it is supposed to function as an extended tutorial to the world of Elemental and introduces game concepts to new players.
Therefore everything is fixed and you are not allowed to pick difficulty level and faction. It's also the only scenario yet, because this game is really all about the sandbox mode.
