The Warpstone Conflict

Apparently this has been stuck in "draft" for a while.  It was some brief background for the campaign we were playing a few years ago. I should probably organize it under the campaign page.  But at least it's here for now.  It's also a little out of date.

War has broken out in the Old World again. What began as a few small skirmishes in Bretonnia outside of Parravon when a goblin horde emerged from the forest of Athel Loren has turned into full-scale open warfare across Bretonnia and southern provinces of The Empire.  The war escalated when a massive piece of warpstone landed outside the village of Lietzburg in southern Talabecland, which has drawn major heroes into the conflict, from Skaven Lord Thrott, to the reemergence of infamous Orc Chieftain Gorfang Rotgut and even the Emperor Karl Franz.

Below is the timeline of events.

Imperial Year 1870: Marquis de Parravon leaves for a campaign in Lustria.
1871: Gorfang Rotgut send goblin Boss Skragg of the Crooked Moon Night Goblins to Bretonnia town of Parravon to "cause a ruckus".
- goblins raids occur outside of Parravon
- word reaches the Marquis who requests help from his old Elf ally, Prince Althran
1872: Prince blah lands in Bretonnia and repels the raiding goblins

-skaven mount n attack which fails
-skragg gets annoy with his ally, and launches attack against skaven. lose, retreat back to forest
local bretonnian lord doesnt know that marquis has asked for help and attacks the elves

baron edmund takes his army Leitzburg's first and invades down to fight the elves/skaven


things cool down as gorfang realizes he needs to take matters into his own hands


warpstone crashes, skaven send a force to leitzburg and retrieve it

word of the warpstone reaches Ulthuan and they send very powerful mages to "assist" prince blah's army and retrieve the warpstone before the rest falls into the hands of the skaven

Lizards of albion happen to be in bretonnia gathering materials for construction of new Temple ...
hear bout warpstone and go on the march

As gorfang gathers the rest of his Waagh, he sends the black orc lord and lieutenant Skullface to distract whoever he finds (turns out to be the lizards)

Thrott sends an army and hits Empire army with Baron Edmund, but gets routed back to bretonnia

Waaagh Gorfang reaches the Bretonnian town of Summersall Fort along the river briene, and hits a massive SKaven force led by Thanquol in response to the rout of Thrott's force
