Gather The Hearthguard

With the help of Worm, Arabor could quickly summoned a small warband as the ground of the Silent Valley was full of the remains of his people. Even though many were missing their skull, here and there they resurrected warriors of their past with their head still on their shoulder, carrying their rusted but still sharp weapons in their bony hands.

But Arabor knew, if he wanted to bring his revenge to the heart of the Bloodbound, which still roamed the lands around the hidden valley, his simple warriors and horsemen where not enough. The armor of the blood warriors, skullreapers and Juggernauts was made of excellent steel, not easily pierced by normal blades and lances. His troops were good acting as an anvil, which could stop the enemy charge but he needed an hammer with sufficient rend as well, smashing the enemy to pieces. 

Therefore they marched back to the place where Arabor's people met their doom, a centuries ago. Near the bridge over the Wipper, he had met the bloodbound on the field of battle, and here it was, were Sigmar struck down his Hearthguard with a single lightning bolt, which was aimed at Arabor, in order to claim his soul. 

The place where that happened was marked later on by a monument, erected by the last free people before they fled towards Azyr. 

Worm shambled mindlessly behind the skeleton troops, completely under the control of the Wight King. When the small Deathrattle warband approached the site, they discovered some Bloodreaver camping there. Arabor dispatched his few riders to an instant charge, making sure none of the Khorne Warriors could escape and alert other parties. The reavers had no chance against the cavalry charge on open ground and were quickly destroyed.

Arabor and Worm approached the monument, which was defiled by Khorne already soon after its erection, and his hand touched the ground. Thanks to the black arts he could feel the bravest and most loyal comrades buried below his feet, impatient to continue their duty from which they were prevented by Sigmar's intervention. 

The two wizards initiated a joint ritual and soon one body after the other breached the muddy ground and reveled warriors still in their fine armor, carrying shields in the color of Arabor's household and dangerously glowing blades in their hands.

Arabor's personal standard, which was protected by his Hearthguard in each battle, was also hurried together with them, and now they could hand it over to their master again. The years in the earth between the angry and restless warriors had saturated it with magic and the runes now glowed balefully. 

With his guard at his side and his totem reclaimed, Arabor fealed confident to be able to face the main body of the bloodbound soon.  He ordered his troops to march to the ruins of the old capitol, were he expected to find the headquarter of the bloodbound. On their way the next days, they would have gathered enough resurrected warriors to turn the war and into a Legion of Death. And so they marched, with the ruins of Horehuson as their next goal...
