It was wise of the rulers of the singing valley to hide themselves from the megalomaniac wizards which created countless miracles within Chamon. When the Age of Chaos dawned, Tzeentch turned his eyes to Chamon, its wizards and magicians were prone to his promises and ensnarements and quickly swore their allegiance to him or were overrun by his growing legions. But his attention was not drawn to the Singing Valley, where life went on as usual - at least it appeared to be so....
But even this hideout from the ruinous crusade of chaos could not remain for ever without being troubled, but it started from a direction the scouts of the free people have not considered nor guarded.
Due to Nagash's defeat by Archaon, Chaos rampaged unchallenged through the lands of Shyish. An especially frenzied Bloodbound warband overran the tribes which have traded for centuries with the people of the singing valley over night, so no warning could be send through the realm gate.
Not soon after, the Bloodbound passed the realm gate with full strength and started to invade the singing valley of Chamon, eagerly looking for slaves, skulls and the attention and pleasure of Khorne.
They were led by an ambitious and aspiring Deathbringer called Vexnar the Reaper, who pushed his warband merciless forward to a restless charge, knowing he would catch the people on this side of the realmgate by surprise
The current ruler of the Valley, Arabor gathered his hearth guard and send message to the lords and ladies, to gather all men and women, which were able to carry weapons, from knights to hearth guard to the fyrd, in order to push the enemy back through the realm gate.
3 days later, the united banners of the whole valley were marching to meet the enemy near the river Wipper. Never before you could have seen so many people gathering in one place of the valley, and birds must have had a beautiful view on all the different banners and weapons, armors and shields made of bronze and steel.
The people themselves had less time to enjoy, as soon the first and most furious units of the bloodbound where crashing into their lines, with the main body of the enemy following close behind.
But for the moment the shield wall of the free people could resist the many attacks of the blood-frenzied warriors.
Suddenly a messenger appeared on the edge of the battlefield, clearing his path to Arabor, who lead the defense of the center just 5 or 6 bodies behind the deadly malstroms of the shield wall.
Behind himthe messenger dark clouds turned up, announcing a heavy thunderstorm no one paid attention to - at least for now...
To be continued....
