Two of the marcher lords Count Theobald and Alaric, have caused much trouble squabbling amongst themselves and raiding other's domains.
Duke Wittendorf, Lord of the Marches, has joined his cousin Count Tiddenheim, plus Count Walden and the Knights of St Walpurga. Together they will bring the two recalcitrant Counts to heal.
Both sides will meet near Punkleswitz....
