TWO DEAD PRINCES.
The vast plains stretching from Renatus to Curon had long-since become a preferred hunting ground for the Imperial Loyalists, there could be no safe passage along the roads for the rebels who sought to strive our Imperium into disarray, no mercy could be granted to those that would risk the lives of all Men by perpetrating a war against the rightful Emperor.
And it was upon this very Saint’s Day that Augustus and Mark, who both hailed from the House of Skynor, stormed out of the Capital in a search for blood; it could be assured that they got exactly that. They were halted by a contingent of Rebels and Snow Elves led by the Crown Prince of Fenn - Aelthos Tundrak. As expected, a fight ensued which resulted in:
The death of Aelthos Tundrak, butchered by Mark the squire of Ser Aldis.
The death of Siegmund Corbish, slain by Augustus.
The capture & execution of Brube Barbanov.
Perhaps it had become a repetitive scene for some, it seemed almost daily an enemy leader was dragged in chains to the Capital. A routine almost, fight, capture, and execution. The brave men of the House of Skynor placed him on to the guillotine and shortly after, his head rolled.
Then there was the casual talk of another grievance, only this time it was different - it was no ordinary soldier or loyalist ushering the cold, meaningful words. It was Clive, Clive the Jester - dubbed as a god of warfare and battle. Surely an omen for what it is to come; the words rasped from betwixt his cold lips.
“Grievance 95.”
