Storm of Chaos (SoC) Timeline

Storm of Chaos (SoC) timeline project started originally around the time WFRP2 was published (2005). Games

Workshop had published Storm of Chaos WFB Campaign year before. Any detailed timeline/dates were never given

about the event later, so I started building something up. But I didn't finish it back when the WFRP2 came out. Now,

years later, I started again to gather all the information about the event in a single timeline. Idea is, that this timeline

could be used in any campaing set to this event or use this war as something in the background.

Most of the Battles (the important ones) happened mainly in the Kislev, and in the eastern- and nothern Empire. But

there are many other battles (wars) going on other parts of the world also. Lustria and the Lizardmen temple-cities are

under siege of Dark Elves and Hung marauders; Tomb-Kings are on the move; Greenskins are moving in the Border

Kingdoms, Badlands and also various mountain-ranges; the Beastmen are attacking Athel Loren...etc. These locations

have been marked separately in the timeline.

Problematic is to place events in the months. Different sources give different ideas when various events happen. Some

sources give wrong years, others place some events closer to each other than others...etc. Some (little) details are given

in the Darkness Rising sourcebook (which also has some mistakes), and I'll try to use them as much as possible. Some

of these details are marked on the timeline. Here are some iconic events and thoughts about them:

The Twin-Tailed Comet. This is important event, yet not really defined when it happens. I place the event yearly

in the year 2521 - Around the time when the "Spring Driving" (the vanguard attack) starts. See 2521 for more

info.

Volkmar the Grim faces Archaon, and dies in the north during (or after) the "Spring Driving", which happens in

2521. It is mentioned that every one of the Empire forces are slain. But, Elector Count of Talabecland, Helmut

Feuerbach, is also with Volkmar and survives. He is later part of the Conclave of Light. Also The Enemy Within

(WFRP3) very much gives idea that this happens later in the year 2521, because Volkmar is still with the

Emperor when Warlord Surtha Lenk attacks against Wolfenburg and even after that.

Luthor Huss meets Valten in 2521 in official Storm of Chaos site/timeline. Details in the Darkness Rising place

the event in winter time (this would probably be the end of the year 2521). Even it seems that the pair (and their

followers) soon continued to the capital to meet the Emperor, it can't be so. Because also in the Darkness

Rising letters from Stefan Weirde place their arrival to the capital in Sommerzeit (5th month). So, I dont know

where they travel in the spring of 2522, but my quess is that they travel in the southern Empire gathering

followers and support.

Conclave of Light. Official Storm of Chaos site/timeline places the event in 2522 (as all the other sources).

Darkness Rising gives idea that it is very early (and cold) spring during the event. And also happen months

before the Archaons great invasion against the Empire. Both Darkness Rising and Tome of Corruption give idea

that Huss and Valten would already be on their way to Altdorf during the conclave, but this can't be so if

conclave happens very early in the year and they arrive in Sommerzeit (see above).

Storm of Chaos. The actual war. Every source seems to place the event first half of the year. Which would be

logical - armies of Archaon probably advance as soon as possible after the winter. Lustria based events, during

the SoC, place the Siege of Hexoatl (and invasion to Lustria) much earlier date than Archaons advance against

the Empire.



Then some other ideas:

In the Darkness Rising it seems that Volkmar the Grim and Elector Count of Talabecland depart from the Altdorf

alone to face Archaon, but the new version of The Enemy Within (WFRP3) gives idea that also the Emperor is

riding to the war with the Grand Theogonist army of Sigmarites. And that they all also return to Altdorf. I'll mix

these things little - Volkmar rides against Archaon later with only the Elector Count of Talabecland.

Sigmar's Heirs names Kasmir XI as one of the Arch Lector's (he should be Arch Lector of Nuln). But The Enemy

Within (WFRP3) names Kaslain as the Nuln's Arch Lector. So, maybe Kaslain was the Arch Lector in the

beginning of the war and dies during the war. This (wrong name) is probably mistake in the book, but this way it

all works out nicely.

The Enemy Within (WFRP3) gives idea that it happens two years after the death of Elector Count Marius

Leitdorf in Black Fire Pass. So, the year would be 2522. But all the background events indicate that the

campaing happens during the year 2521, when Warlord Surtha Lenk leads his vanguard invasion against the

Empire (year before actual SoC event).

Following sources have been used and should be credited:

Origin of the timeline comes from the Games Workshop site dedicated to the SoC event. This site is no longer

available online. Site had daily updates from Gav Thorpe (well, I think they were originally in the SoC site). Mr

Thorpes daily updates provide very detailed information that I use in this document. These sources are not

marked separately. Some, or all, this information has also been published in the White Dwarf magazine articles.

Storm of Chaos Warhammer Fantasy Battle (WFB) sourcebook.

Darkness Rising Warhammer sourcebook.

Various Warhammer Fantasy Battle (WFB) sourcebooks have provided more or less details. Main ones are

probably Lizardmen, Dwarfs, The Empire, Warriors of Chaos, Orcs and Goblins...

I have used various novels (like Gotrek & Felix novels) and sourcebooks (many WFRP2 sourcebooks mention

the event, because they are dated after the war). These sources are marked in the entries.

The Enemy Within (WFRP3) provides interesting information about the war-year 2521.

Also I have used some ideas given by various other fans about the dates. Especially thanks to Andy Law. He

has done interesting and huge job making detailed timeline for his campaings. I use his marks for the year

2521, but with modifications.

Finally - Special thanks to Dave Graffam (and any help he might had) for creating Calenders of the Empire.

Calender(s) have provided much help, when doing this project. He created four different sets of calenders,

based on the various years. Note! Calender used in The Enemy Within (WFRP3) campaign book (last page,

The Imperial Calender) is actually Series I: For years ending in 00, 04, 08, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32...etc.

Chaos Wastes, Morathi reaffirms her ancient pact with Slaanesh, and with the power of her Daemonic patron,

takes over a tribe of marauders known as the Hung. Morathi summons sixty troupes of six Daemonettes and

makes them attack the Hung tribe's main Kurgan rivals. Hung believe that Morathi is the chosen of Slaanesh.

She becomes known as the Consort-Queen of Shaarnor (name the Hung use from Slaanesh). Morathi takes

scholars, fishwives, pickpockets, preachers, riots...etc. There are also rumours about the Champion of Light, who would

arise to face the Everchosen. Darkness Rising: The Sign of Sigmar, Darkness Rising: Wizard's Correspondence, Storm

Luthor Huss, a self-styled prophet of Sigmar, has started to challenge the hierarchy of the church of Sigmar. Huss claims

that the priests had become corrupt and decadent, ignoring the teachings of Grand Theogonist Volkmar the Grim and

abandoning Sigmar's mission. He makes many enemies, these including Johann Esmer. His arguments started from the

Sigmarite Council in Altdorf, after Arch Lector Kurt Mannfeld of Nuln disappeared during his crusade against the north in

2515. Even then Grand Theogonist Volkmar the Grim was absent from the the council spending more and more time in

the high pinnacle at the top of the Temple of Sigmar. Malign rumours circulated in the council and doubt Volkmar's sanity

because of the many hours he has spent reading unholy grimoires to find answere to the dark menace gathering in the

far north. The Empire 6th & 8th Edition: Luthor Huss (WFB)

High Zar Surtha Lenks armies pass into the Empire. First they face the armies of Ostland leaded by Elector Count

Valmir von Raukov. The Enemy Within (WFRP3)

The Twin-Tailed Comet:

The twin-tailed comet mentioned in the Darkness Rising book is seen as important event. Some believe it heralds

the destruction, others the hope in the form of Sigmar Reborn. Saga of Sigmar itself mentiones that comet heralded

the coming of Sigmar Heldenhammer when the lands were overrun with darkness. Yet, many also remember the

fate of the dark city of Mordheim, destroyed by a twin-tailed comet. Also comet was sighted during the Great War

Against Chaos.

The honoured Heironymous of Nuln also states: "Every time that the wings of fire have appeared in the sky, they

have heralded the coming of great things."

That is for sure, that Volkmar the Grim believed that the twin-tailed comet was sign from the Sigmar to him. That

Volkmar would be the Champion of Light and must face Archaon. But truth is not really said anywhere. Also no

actual date is given to this very important event?! So, I'm tryin to build some ideas here:

This date is the 17th birthday of Valten - and some sort of coming of age. Valten that is the exalted of

Sigmar and will be the true Champion of Light. Maybe this marks that Valten is ready (at the end of the

year he saves his village and meets with Luthor Huss).

It could be that during the Spring Driving Archaon consults his Chaos Sorcerers from all the Dark Gods and

makes an unholy ritual. Maybe comet could be warning from the Gods, that Archaon has left behind, that

they are ready for his (and his Dark Gods) challenge.

Comet could also be warning that the end times have started.

For the actual date I use the date when Moon(s) are full. Just to bring little more mysticism to the event.

Also I choose same lunar date for the meeting of Luthor Huss and Valten later this year.



3rd Sigmarzeit (4th month)

Ostland State Army is caught unprepared for second Chaos Host. Norscans, who have sailed the Sea of Claws and

"Sigmar Reborn" and is soon branded heretic by some sigmarite priests, these including Grand Theogonist

Esmer III. Huss and Valten attract also more and more followers. With them are the survivors of Lachenbad,

Flagellants and even other warrior priests. Huss will camp worst of the winter and after that campaign around

the southern provinces before heading to the north to the capital with large force of followers.

The Empire: Grand Theogonist Johann Esmer III creates a band of extremist Templars and Witch Hunters. He

is using them almost like a secret policy hunting possible cultists and other servants of the ruinous powers.

They are lead by Witch Hunter Wilhelm Steinberg, who ruthlessly burns many men and women during the war-

time in Altdorf while hunting cultists of the Dark Gods and mutants.

fleets to patrol the Great Ocean and the Sea of Claws. Lord Aislinn uses Norse strategy and strikes Norscan

coastline raiding their settlements using the Sea Rangers and the Sea Guard.

Skaven Under-Empire: Deep within the Skaven stronghold of Hell Pit, and in the caves beneath Middenheim,

another race is stirring again. The ratmen are on the move once more, looking for any opportunity to further

their own schemes. Deathmaster Snikch of Clan Eshin returns to the Old World from the Far East, a the

command of the Council of Thirteen.

Old World: Chaos cults serve their wicked Gods and cause sabotage all over the Empire, Beatsmen herds roam

in large numbers in the forests, harvest is poor and the winter is savage.

The Empire: In Middenheim strange things happen. The time-worn defences are mysteriously being dismantled,

watchmen and wardens disappearing, rumours about man-sized rats in the sewers and crypts (usually laughed

by most), tales about scratching noises in the dead of the night.

Old World: The Aethyr flows stronger than ever from the north. This can be sensed by Imperial Magisters and

other magic-users sensitive to Winds of Magic (witchsight). Many mystical and strage events occur around the

Old World (especially in the Empire and Kislev) during the year. Realms of Sorcery (WFRP2)

23rd Sigmarzeit (4th month) [Day 1]

Archaon's forces pass into the Empire. Many mark this as the beginning point of the Storm of Chaos (when Chaos

invades the Empire lands). Archaon's forces cross into the Empire and divide into five different armies.

Wolfenburg (shattered walls of Wolfenburg), Ferlangen, Zundap and Bohsenfels fight fiercely against the Chaos hordes.

In Kurst, the presence of the malfunctioning, but mobile Steam Tank Von Zeppel has been instrumental in keeping the

Chaos hordes at bay. But disturbing rumours tell that monstrous hellcannons are being brought to the village to deal with

the mechanical beast.

It seems almost mircale when Slaaneshi army that sacks Boven bypasses Wurzen on the way to Zundap. But many

mark this as the testament to the Baron von Wallestein, of Wurzen, skills of organisation and strategy. Truth is something

different - Baron von Wallenstein is agent of the Lord of Pleasure. Von Wallenstein betrays the defences at Zundap as a

sign of "good faith". Sigmar's Heirs (WFRP2)

Chaos Strategy:

Archaon's forces have following strategy. His army bolsters over a hundred Norse tribes and they cross the Lynsk

and advance into Ostland. In the Forest of Shadows, the Chaos horde splits into five hosts. One led by Archaon

himself and others by his trusted lieutenants (Champions):

Archaon himself plans to move straight for Middenheim leading the elite Swords of Chaos westwards

along the Old Forest Road. He plans to raid Ferlangen.

Haargroth, takes his Khorne host past Wolfenburg and towards Krudenwald to meet Archaon sacking

Breder on the way.

Melekh, plans to lead his Tzeentch horde against Bohsenfels and there into the Middle Mountains and to

the Brass Keep. He is helped by Cyspeth.

Feytor takes his diseased Nurgle host south across Hochland planning to attack Esk, Castle Lenkster and

Fort Schippel, joining the Archaon in the Old Forest Road.

Styrkaar was despatched with his Slaanesh host to hold the Forest Road against armies from the state

capitals of Hergig and Talabheim. His plan is to raid Kurst and Zundap and move there to Hergig.

Also there is additional help:

Beastlord Khazrak One-eye attacks from the forests against the Empire forces and Untergard.

Champion D'Aggorn the Exalted is left with additional horde to besiege the capital of Kislev.

Herald of Archaon Vardek Crom attacks from the Dark Lands through the Peak Pass tryin to reach the

eastern Empire with the Kurgan horde (and cause even more chaos among the defenders and divide their

ranks).

Huge Norse fleet is patrolling the Sea of Claws and attacks Erengrad with the Archaon's horde and then

the Imperial coastline.

Other Chaos forces include:

Warlord Vashnaar the Tormentor has lead Hung marauders to the Lustria with the Dark Elves.

Daemon Be'lakor has summoned his Daemonic host which follows Archaon's horde fast.



24th Sigmarzeit (4th month) [Day 2]

Bretonnian King Louen Leoncoeur armies, vanguard lead by Duke Bohemond the Beast-Slayer, leave finally from the

Monfort, through Axe-Bite Pass to the Empire, and after this to the north.


Full Moon(s).

Nordland and Ostland are in flames as the forces of Archaon burn and pillage their way forward Middenheim. In Zundap,

the soldiers of Count von Raukov have been pushed back to the west, their fortified positions on the old steam mill

having been overrun by mighty Dragon Ogres and mutated Giants. Slowly, the cultists, marauders and warriors of the

Dark Gods are pushing their way through the ruins of Wolfenburg, every inch of their advance paid for in blood.

The keep at Bohsenfels is holding strong. Having retained possession of the catacombs that stretch up to the castle's

foundations, the defenders now hold the walls against the vicious assaults of the enemy.

At Ferlangen the initial successes of the defenders are beginning to fade into memory as the hunters of Nordland are

driven back towards their homes, while some have even retreated to lodges in the mountains, expecting the settlement

to soon fall.

In Kurst the detonation in the boiler of the von Zeppel steam tank rendered the war machine immobile, allowing the

Chaos forces attacking Kurst to pour forwards in great numbers, overwhelming the defenders. Kurst is now reduced to a

shattered, burning husk as the weight of the Chaos attack crushed those foolish enough to stand in its path.

Dwarf Garagrim Ironfist, War-mourner of Karak Kadrin, and his host of Slayers cross the Lynsk and are fighting hard

against the Chaos warbands and beasts pouring south in the wake of Archaon's advance.


Fighting continues within the blasted walls of Wolfenburg as bands of brave troops roam the streets, attacking from

cellars and ruined buildings before disappearing again. These hit and run attacks have stalled the Chaos advance

considerably, buying valuable time for those defenders further west.

At Castle Bohsenfels, a strange quiet has descended, with intermittent forays from the forests against the keep, as

Melekh the Changer marshals his forces for an overwhelming attack. The screams of those sacrificed to Tzeentch echo

from the forests through the night, as the sorcerous Melekh gathers more magical power with which to assault the defiant

troops within the castle. It is unlikely that the defenders could withstand a solid surge from the Chaos troops.

Ferlangen is weakening, and the Empire's generals must decide whether to send fresh troops to bolster its defence,

weakening their forces in other areas, or to surrender the town (and quite possibly Bohsenfels) to the invaders, retreating

to hold the paths into the mountains.

In Zundap fighting continues. The town has changed hands three times over the last couple of days. As with other

battlefields, a concerted effort by the followers of Styrkaar could crush the last remaining vestiges of resistance.


The Chaos forces numbers begin to grow ever stronger. At Wolfenburg, ever-increasing numbers of warriors are pouring

into the ruined city, while the Castle at Bohsenfels is now cut off from aid and it is only a question of time before it falls.

Athel Loren: Increased attacks of the Beastmen into the Athel Loren forest have been met with a storm of ambushes and

traps. Beastmen are killed in droves by the arrows and blades of the Wood Elves. Ariel believes that Beastman

Cyanathair (Morghur, Master of Skulls) is ralling for yet another greater assault upon Athel Loren. Orion is mustering his

followers into an army to smash the invaders and drive them from his sacred realm.

Marshes of Madness & Badlands: In the Marshes of Madness & Badlands the Tomb King armies of Settra the

Imperishable are fighting hard against the Greenskins. The Greenskin resistance is growing as the undead army

advance north and eastwards. Goblins from around Red Cloud Mountain have met the Undead in the foothills of the

World's Edge Mountains whilst Orcs and Beasts from the inner Badlands fall back before their glittering hosts.



Lustria: In the dank jungles of Lustria, the Dark Elves and their barbaric Hung allies have pushed south past Tlaxtlan,

fighting running battles with Skink ambushers, mighty reptilian beasts and the jungle itself. The Slann are rousing

themselves to this latest intrusion slowly until then, every temple looted and shrine desecrated aids the Dark Elves'

cause.


After hard fighting for seven days, Count von Raukov has passes word to the bands of fighters in Wolfenburg to withdraw

from the Ostland capital. A few brave souls are remaining behind to continue to harass the combined forces of Archaon,

Feytor and Haargroth, laying traps and ambushes as more and more twisted followers of the Dark Gods pour into the

ruins of the city. Von Raukov is building a more stable defence at Castle Lenkster and bridge it protects. Already well-

barricaded and reinforced, the extra time bought at Wolfenburg means this new position will be all the harder to take. But

if Zundap were to fall soon, then the hastily-thrown together defences of Struhelspan are unlikely to keep the tide of

Chaos at bay for long, allowing the forces of Chaos into the heart of Middenland and the capital of Hochland, Hergig.

Surrounded and assailed from outside and below, Bohsenfels is falling. Arcane magic unleashed by Melekh the Changer

has begun to take effect, corrupting and mutating those defiant men guarding the northern approaches to the Middle

Mountains.

30th Sigmarzeit (4th month) [Day 8] Bohsenfels commanders debate whether to withdraw their forces to Ferlangen.

Zundap is now little more than a shattered ruin, the skeletal remains of the steam mill a grim testimony to the ferocity of

the fighting.

Archaon's forces make a deal with Skaven Throt the Unclean. A marauder tribe that displeased Archaon is given to Throt

the Unclean as test subjects for the Skaven's unclean experiments in creating new and foul forms of life. In return,

Archaon's forces are bolstered by some of Throt's creations. From this unholy pact, the Flayerkin join the Chaos hordes.

learns that hold has fallen to the Orc's during his trading mission to Barak Varr. Orcslayer (novel)

33rd Sigmarzeit (4th month) [Day 11] The walls of Bohsenfels have been strongly contested these last few days. Such has been the carnage that the

defenders are now numbered only in their dozens.

In Zundap, the continuing pressure of repeated Chaos attacks is beginning to take a heavy toll of the Imperial soldiers.

Suddenly also Grimgor Ironhide and his Ardboyz arrive in the area.

The soldiers of Count von Raukov have weathered the first attacks on Castle Lenkster with minimal casualties.

Ferlangen is now hard-pressed by a relentless assault.

The Border Princes & Black Mountains: Barak Varr is under a siege of Greenskins. Hamnir, the prince of Karak-Hirn, is

gathering an army to free the lost hold of Karak-Hirn. Rumours also tell that infamous Felix Jaeger and Slayer Gotrek

Gurnisson have arrived back to the Old World with Bretonnian ship and to the Barak Varr through the siege. Orcslayer

(novel)

1st Sommerzeit (5th month) [Day 12]

The town of Ferlangen falls in the hands of Kordel Shorgaar, standard bearer of the Lord of the End Times. The northern

host has paused in its advance, awaiting news from Bohsenfels. Archaon is exceptionally displeased with Melekh's lack

of success thus far. There is even the possibility that Archaon himself will head to the north to personally deal with

Melekh.

In the south, the steam mill of Zundap has been turned into a torture palace for the delights of Styrkaar, beloved of

Slaanesh. While Imperial forces regroup at Struhelspan, the follower of the Dark Prince indulges his unnatural passions

with those captured in the fighting.



In the capital Altdorf messages (brought by birds and messengers) start to flow like a flood. Soon the city knows that the

Wolfenburg has been abandoned and taken by the enemy. Also that Nordland and Ostland are burning. And even about

the lost steam tank Von Zeppel.

Famous mercenary unit known as Star of Victory is almost totally been killed in the fighting on Wolfenburg. Captain

Bruno Hauptleiter still lives and leads few men tryin to help survivors of the city. Sigmar's Heirs (WFRP2)

Warrior Priest Luthor Huss, self-styled Prophet of Sigmar, arrives to Altdorf with "Sigmar Reborn" Valten. With them is a

great rabble, thousands-strong, of preachers, warrior priests, flagellants and fanatics. This zealous mob follows Valten.

Upon arriving at the capital, Huss and Valten find the gates barred to them. Huss demands entrance and treatens the

Reiksguard captains. The court gathers with the Emperor Karl Franz and Grand Theogonist Esmer. Three days they

debate what to do. Some support Huss and believe in Valten, others say he is heretic (Grand Theogonis included).

2nd Sommerzeit (5th month) [Day 13]

Archaon arrives in the twilight hours outside the besieged castle of Bohsenfels, and with him the dread riders of the

Sword of Chaos. Fighting stops as he summones the warriors of Melekh to pull back from the walls and hear his words.

There are jeers from the defenders, loudest amongst them from the mercenaries that had initially been paid to hold the

castle and yet now fight merely to survive. Archaon brought the curses of the gods upon the followers of Tzeentch for

failing to take the castle, and as an example, five hundred warriors are slain by the Swords of Chaos. As the heads of the

dead Tzeentch followers are piled onto a great pyre, Archaon confronted Melekh himself. Archaon severes Melekh's

head in a one blow with his sword, Slayer of the Kings. A grim silence descents as Archaon commans Melekh's son, the

mutated Cyspeth, to leave only a holding force and advance through Ferlangen to the Nordbergbruche. There is no need

to warn of what would befall his new champion should Cyspeth fail as his father did.

With the fall of Zundap, Imperial forces were pulled back to the eastern end of the bridge at Struhelspan. The excesses

that Styrkaar and his Slaaneshi host indulged allowed a little time for these retreating forces to gather themselves again

and join with the garrison at Struhelspan. When Styrkaar's demented warriors fell upon the defenders of the bridge, they

found their initial assaults blunted with devastating cannon and handgun fire, and have been pushed back into the forests

for the moment.

Chaos warriors, bolstered by Beastmen from the Middle Mountains, march speedily along the pass from Ferlangen to the

Nordbergbruche, the glimmering sides of the Nordberg stretching above them. The scattered hunters and Imperial troops

slowed the advance for a few hours. In particular, the defenders of the Empire found themselves outflanked and waylaid

by a force of Skaven that had been pivotal in the fall of Ferlangen, led by a Grey Seer named Skoll. It looked as if the

Nordbergbruche might fall quickly, but suddenly contingent of Dwarfs, gathered from the small mines and holds of the

Middle Mountains, gather at the bridge.

At Castle Lenkster, the brave efforts of Lord Jared von Strudt hold an assault intended to cross the river upstream. Under

a covering bombardment from the von Brunel, Lord Jared, amongst others, fights a valiant defence until a sortie from the

castle garrison pushed back the invaders. His position is reinforced with the soldiers of Captain Kaufmann. Lord Jared

then makes a counter-attack that droves the attackers from northern castle wall. Von Raukov remains in overall

command of the castle, and for the time being it seems as if the Lenkster bridge is secure.

Badlands: The undead Tomb King armies of Settra continue wage war against the Greenskins and scattered human

communities of the Badlands. Though slow to react at first to the threat, tribes from the Dragonback Mountains and small

armies of Marsh Goblins have begun to gather, halting the advance of the Tomb Kings across the open wilderness.

Settra continues to push his army north and east, towards the Sour Sea.



3rd Sommerzeit (5th month) [Day 14]

Deep in the Middle mountains, at the Nordbergbruche, Chaos forces move forward with the help of Skaven allies using

hidden paths and tunnels to outmanouvre the defenders of the bridge. Still the Dwarfs and imperial mortars hold the

bridge tightly.

South of the mountains, protecting the southern route to the Nordbergbruche, the Men, Elves and Dwarfs at Castle

Lenkster are continually being pressed by successive Chaos attacks. Archaon is personally moving towards the

Lenkster.

At Struhelspan, Grey Seer Verminous Fang has begun putting into action a devious plan to tunnel under the river itself

and assault the enemy from behind. Initial attacks on the bridge fortifications themselves were lacklustre and the men of

Ostland and Middenland have been able to strengthen their defences. Also Slaanesh Champion Styrkaar is now finally

marching from the ruins of Zundap to the Struhelspan with his army.

Valten and Karl Franz meet. Captain of the Reiksguard, filled with religious fear of Huss' declaration, disobey his orders

and the gates are finally opened. Huss and Valten, including their entourage, soon reach the Emperor's Palace and meet

Karl Franz. People gather by the thousands in Coronation Square. Many believe the word of Huss and think he is truly

the prophet of Sigmar and that the Valten is the chosen one. These even include Electors (southern pro-sigmar

Provinces). Threatened by the appearance Valten, who Huss and many others believe to be the living reincarnation of

Sigmar, Karl Franz has a difficult decision to make. To spurn the young man would be to invite disaster from those who

believed. To accept him would be to splinter the Empire when strong leadership was needed most. The Emperor comes

up with a compromise that satisfies all parties and gives the hammer of Ghal Maraz to the young blacksmith without

surrendering control of the Empire. Karl Franz declares Valten as the spiritual leader of the Empire. United, the two

leaders now turn their attention toward the threat of Archaon. As prince of Altdorf, Karl Franz takes up the Reikland

Runefang, and vowes to lead the armies of the Empire by Valten's side. Darkness Rising: Correspondance with the Boy,

Bogolav Tammas, a warrior of Khorne, fighting now in the Bohsenfels, feels something calling to him from the Forest of

Shadows. Leaving the army, he wanders south into the woods until he founds the Blood Fane, ancient tainted stone

dedicated to the Khorne, and its old Beastman keeper. Tammas hacks Beastmans head off and adds it to the pile of

skulls for the Khorne. Now Bogolav Tammas becomes the new keeper of the Blood Fane. He gathers soon group of loyal

Beastmen to aid him. Sigmar's Heirs (WFRP2)

World Edge Mountains: Crom the Conqueror (Vardek Crom), self-titled Herald of Archaon, army of Kurgan arrives from

the northen Dark Lands to the Peak Pass. His army overruns two defensive positions created by the Dwarfs of Karak

Kadrin. Vardek Crom's army is supported by the arcane war machines and Daemonically-possessed machineries of

destruction created by the Dark Dwarfs (Dawri-Zharr). The Battle of Peak Pass starts.

Athel Loren: Athel Loren has been attacked by thousands of Beastmen leaded by Beastman Cyanathair. The Wood

Elves have responded to this invasion with speed and ferocity, slaying dozens of misshapen beasts with every swift

ambush. Horns of Orion sounds out amongst the boles of the ancient trees as he gathers the Wild Hunt to sweep away

the intruders.

The Border Princes & Black Mountains: Karak-Hirn has been taken by the huge force of Orcs. Barak Varr is under a

4th Sommerzeit (5th month) [Day 15]

The Middle Mountains Kordel Shorngaar awaits the arrival of Cyspeth and his Tzeentchian army, while the Skaven that

have come forth to exploit the peril of the Empire continue to fight in the valleys around the pass.

At Lenkster, the arrival of the School of Engineers' expeditionary force has stemmed the recent attacks, while Count von

Raukov continues to exhort the defenders of the castle to repel the latest assault. A dread rumour has begun to spread

through the Imperial camp, that Archaon himself marches for Lenkster with his Hellcannons. The walls of Castle Lenkster

will not stand long against such devastating arcane machines.

Styrkaar, favoured of Slaanesh, arrives with his army to Struhelspan. He has spoken to his warriors of the villages and

towns that lie beyond the river, and has promised his warriors free reign to do as they will if they can break through within

5 days. Such promises of looting and wanton debauchery have driven the devoted of Slaanesh into a ardent frenzy.

Lustria: In the jungles of Lustria Morathi's allied marauders (Hung) have made a great incursion towards the ruins of

Xhotl, whilst her Slaaneshi cultists remain embattled in the outlying temples of Tlanxla. In the pools beneath the mighty

edifices of the Slann, new spawnings of stronger, deadlier Saurus warriors are emerging.


World Edge Mountains: Crom the Conquerors (Vardek Crom) army reaches the battle line prepared by Slayer King

Ungrim Ironfist in the Peak Pass.

Lustria: This is 40th day of the Siege of Hexoatl.


New Moon(s).

7th Sommerzeit (5th month) [Day 18] Warlord Grimgor Ironhide is fighting his way to Castle Lenkster, picking up odds and ends of tribes and warbands along

the way, in his efforts to prove himself mightier than Archaon by reaching Middenheim first. Orc and Goblin tribes from

the woods and mountains join Waaagh! Grimgor and attack Archaon's forces.

Fighting at Bohsenfels has degenerated into smaller skirmishes and forays by the mercenaries holding the walls into the

catacombs below. With Cyspeth now turning the attention of his Tzeentchian warbands towards Nordbergbruche, it

appears that the few survivors of the early onslaughts might possibly live to see the end of the Storm of Chaos.

Supported by scattered bands of Elves and Dwarfs, the Empire's soldiers at Struhelspan have forced back numerous

attacks led by Styrkaar, the devoted servant of Slaanesh. His depraved warriors appear to be tiring of the war, as the

ceaseless battling fails to excite their over-developed senses and keeps them from other, more pleasurable, pursuits.

Feytor, The thrice-blessed of Nurgle, has not been seen since the fall of Kurst, though many of his warriors now assault

Castle Lenkster.

And far to the north, in the wild tundra of Kislev, the armies of the Tzarina now battle against the hordes of D'Aggorn the

Exalted, as the forces of the Chaos Champion press ever closer to the capital. Messengers have been sent far and wide,

searching for the Slayer army of Garagrim to come to their aid, for surely the chance to earn honourable death against

the twisted, mutated creatures assailing the Ice Queen's city will bring the orange-haired death-seekers to battle.


The bombardment of Castle Lenkster begins just after dawn. The air itself is torn by tortured screaming as the first

arcane blasts from the Hellcannons screeched through the air, and impacted upon the keeps walls, shattering stone and

flesh in equal measure. For half a day the infernal cannonade continues, and parts of the east tower are in ruins, while

the northern wall is breached in several places. Yet despite this damage, Archaon holds back his forces, waiting perhaps

for some signal, some sign from the gods, that it is time to launch the final assault.



In the depths of the Middle Mountains, Skaven and marauders are almost upon the span of the Nordbergbruche.

Desperate fighting by men and Dwarfs alike keeps them from the bridge, but without the support of the Middenland

mortars, which are running low on ammunition and cannot be supplied due to Skaven infiltrators, it seems that the bridge

will hold for only a few more days.

At Struhelspan, the fighting has been somewhat tame, as the defenders are content to stem the tide of warriors

advancing upon them, whilst Styrkaar appears to idle away the hours in other pursuits, distracted from the fighting.

Athel Loren: In Athel Loren, Orions horn calls echo through the trees as the Wood Elves continue the slaughter of the

foul Beastmen corrupting their lands.

Lustria: The Slann have stirred from their contemplation as brutal marauders and pale-skinned Druchii sack the ruins of

the temples surrounding Tlanxla and Quetza. Disturbed from their efforts by these distractions, the Realm of Chaos has

grown further, and occurrences of Daemonic intrusions are increasing.


When darkness fells the Hellcannons start to fire the Castle Lenkster. Soon soldiers fell to their knees gasping breath

and spewing the contents of their guts over the castle walls. Even the doughty Dwarfs that had raised their axes in

defence of Castle Lenkster are afflicted by the strange malaise, their legendary constitutions no safeguard against the

unnatural disease. The Imperial Engineers and their gunboats hold the bridge as the Hellcannons fire. This allows the

Count von Raukov to muster some semblance of a retreat from the rout that has threatened. The Elector's brave words

had been for nought, as he fell back towards Breder in Middenland.

A small force of Bretonnians has been seen heading north to Middle Mountains, directed by their Lady to defend the

Nordbergbruche. They are met by the warriors of the Tzeentch warlord Asil Yarp, who unleashed the horror of a

Hellcannon upon them for the first time, scattering the brave knights to the wind. With this counter-attack foiled, it seems

inevitable that Cyspeth and his Skaven allies will cross the bridge within hours.

The river under the Struhelspan is quickly filling with bodies as a new offensive is launched by Styrkaar's followers.

Promises of glory and indulgence, the maddened warriors of Slaanesh have repeatedly hurled themselves at the

defenders, whose strength has been weakened by requests for more troops at Lenkster. However, the bridge is held.

Darkness comes to the Kislev Oblast. People have horrible dreams and dark visions of future. Dhar flows extremely

strong and strange Daemonic Incursion happen. The Daemonic Horde has come. Belakor visits the battlefield where

Archaon defeated Volkmar the Grim and brings Volkmar back to life. After that Volkmar is chained to the battle standard

of his legion.


Middenlanders and the White Wolves of Count Todbringer march forward to reinforce the defences at Esk. Count von

Raukov, driven from his homeland, makes Breder a new headquarters. Von Raukov gatheres together his men and is

determined to assault and reclaim the castle at Lenkster. But forces of Archaon and Feytor had crossed the river in

considerable numbers during the night, and dawn saw them advancing rapidly on Breder. Caught unprepared, the

soldiers of Breder are hard-pressed to hold back the avalanche of howling warriors and roaring monsters that descended

on their town, and Archaon, sensing victory, urges his warriors to press home whilst they hold the advantage.

A small force despatched by Feytor hold ground near Esk, and early fighting has broken out along the road and paths

leading to the village.

The Nordbergbruche falls.



Suddenly assailed from the far end by Skaven that had tunnelled around their defences, the dwarfs and men holding the

bridge are caught in a vicious trap. The magic of Tzeentch fills the valley as Cyspeth and his coven of sorcerous allies

unleashed the raw power of change upon the foe, rending their enemies with glittering bolts of energy and mutating them

into twisted, mewling wrecks. The sheer ferocity and speed of the onslaught sweeps away all resistance, and within an

hour the bridge is taken. The victory celebrations are muted however, for the warriors of Tzeentch know that they have

done only a little to rebuild their reputation in the eyes of their master, and also ahead lays one of the greatest challenges

- Brass Keep.

Thinly defended bridge at Struhelspan holds. What should have proven to be little more than a minor delay in the

advance of Styrkaar has been turned into the last bastion of the defence of the south by the indolent nature of the

Slaaneshi champions attacks. Valuable time has been wasted, time that would be preciously needed if the forces were

to take the bridge and assault the much stronger positions at Hergig and Fort Schippel.

11th Sommerzeit (5th month) [Day 22] A province-wide counter-offensive, led by Boris Todbringer and Count von Raukov, has stemmed the advancing Chaos

host, from Esk in the south, at Breder, to the Brass Keep in the Middle Mountains. Count of Middenland rides forth with a

contingent of White Wolves and Teutogen Guard, blessed by ar-Ulric. At Brass Keep, a sortie by the Knights Panther

smashes the vanguard of Cyspeth as it marched through the mountains from the Nordbergbruche. Reinforcements to the

growing battle are slow, from both sides, as the winding columns of troops negotiate the harsh terrain of the Middle

Mountains.

In the south, Styrkaar strikes. Frustrated by the lack of mettle shown by his warriors, he leads the next attack personally,

in a demonstration of his personal power and favour by Slaanesh. The fighting is bitter yet brief, as the deadly Champion

of Slaanesh cuts down all who would oppose him. When more and more Imperial troops rush to the west end of the

bridge a large part of the ground gives away beneath them, plunging dozens of soldiers into a great tunnel beneath. Here

they were set upon by vicious Skaven, who attack forth from the pit in a great tide. These are Clanrats and Stormvermin

of Verminous Fang. Struhelspan falls.

In Breder, the initial assaults of Archaon and Haargroth push back the forces of von Raukov. As the sun climbs to Noon,

something glitters in the north, moving towards Breder. These are force of Elves led by Talaananthes Silverfall. The

Elves immediately attack, engaging a force of Khornate thugs and warriors. With these unexpected reinforcements, the

defenders took heart and the forces of Chaos are been pushed back to the edges of the town once more.

Pushed further and further west, the forces of Dwarfs, men and Elves defending Middenheim are been stretched to

breaking point. However, as their own supply lines shorten and the veterans of previous battles join those waiting at the

next line of defence, their resistance is stiffening once again.

Esk, a potentially weak spot in the battleline, A small village with barely a defensible wall, is now garrisoned by a force

several thousand strong. Beyond lie the rich pickings of central Middenland, and ultimately Middenheim itself. Intent on

claiming this prize for themselves, the initial attacks at Esk have been fought not by the warriors of the Dark gods, but by

the vile ratmen of Chaos, in the form of Clan Deathbite under the leadership of Chieftain Skritchskritch. Combined with

the success of Verminous Fang at Struhelspan.

12th Sommerzeit (5th month) [Day 23] Day of hope in the city of Altdorf. There is much of fanfare and hubbub and also gtreat parade where both Karl Franz and

Valten ride side by side. Valten is carrying magnificent Ghal Maraz and Imperial plate armour. Reikland armies are now

marching to the war. With the main army rides also Grand Mashall Kurt Helborg and the Emperor's personal champion

Ludwig Swartzhelm. Festivities in the Altdorf are shadowed by the news from the north (some little late). Reikland army is

joined by the forces of Wissenland. After long negotiations with the rulers of the Stirland and Averland, their provinces

finally agree to send forces that should join the main army in Talabheim. Messages from the Slayer King Ungrim Ironfist,

that he vowes to hold the Peak Pass against the Crom's horde, helps in the negotiations. Talabecland is also mustering

as the remaining forces of Surtha Lenk's horde still harash Ostland and Talabecland. Main army (and also Luthor Huss

zealots) heads now to the Talabheim. Army will face many Beastmen raids and skirmishes along the way. Darkness

From the depths of the Drakwald, the one-eyed Beastlord Khazrak attacks at the Imperial lines of defence. In the darkest

hours of the night, his force comprising of many warbands, attack the walls of Untergard. The defenders are unable to

stop the rampaging Gors, Ungors and Minotaurs, and their efforts to repulse the attack are crushed by the appearance of

two mighty Dragon Ogre Shaggoths. When Khazrak has fought his way to the bridge he then awaits the arrival of other

warbands to help him cross the river and complete the sacking of Untergard.

Rumours tell that Boris Todbringer has already ordered his men to start withdrawing from Breder, although Count von

Raukov has insisted on staying to defend the town. With supplies low, having been lost to an attack several days ago, it

is doubtful whether the Ostlanders can hold on unaided.

Archaon leaves Esk where Feytor succesfully reach the village itself. Archaon also leaves the fate of Breder in the hands

of the murderous Haargoth, Blooded One of Khorne.

Brass Keep stands defiant against the hordes of Cyspeth, despite advances made by the Tzeentchian horde and their

Skaven allies.

At Fort Schippel, the advancing warriors of Slaanesh made small gains, facing a network of well-constructed barricades

and emplaced cannons and mortars. Aided by Dwarfs from other areas of the Empire, the defenders of Fort Schippel sit

confidently behind their Dwarf-cuilt walls and redoubts. Just as daunting is the great wall of Hergig, capital of Hochland,

where Styrkaar is now preparing his next assault, no doubt filled with visions of the hedonistic pleasures he can enjoy

with the thousands of people trapped inside the city by the fighting.

Alexi Makarev, son of a now-dead Boyar of Erengrad and a dispossessed noble, has issued a call to arms to all men of

Kislev. As the armies of D'Aggorn the Exalted press closer to Kislev itself, while Praag itself is almost besieged once

more, it is a time for the people of Kislev to once again rise against adversity and protect their homes, as they have done

for countless years.

The main army of Karl Franz, Valten and Zealots of Luthor Huss are attacked by Beastman raiders on their way from

Altdorf to Talabheim. Storm of Chaos: Defenders of the Empire (WFB)

Marshes of Madness & Badlands: The purpose of Settra's advance becomes clearer, as the Tomb Kings continue to

press north and eastwards across the Badlands. The ruins of several ancient settlements have already been reclaimed,

and yet the Eagle of the Desert continues advancing, his army now within sight of the Sour Sea. Beyond lays the

ancient, terrible citadel of Nagashizzar.



Lustria: In the amongst the mangroves and swamps of Lustria, the Khaine-worshippers of Morathi are beginning to feel

the debilitating effect of the Lizardmen's realm. Attacks by Skink scouts and now a more coherent defence by columns of

Saurus warriors have stopped the Druchii just northeast of Quezta. Also Hag Queen's barbaric allies, the Hung, suffer

losses to disease, predators and the Lizardmen attacks.

Athel Loren: The Wild Hunt is in full force in Athel Loren, as Orion inflicts a bloody cull on the Beastmen hiding under the

eaves of the immense forest. Aided by the twisting, shifting wood itself, the Wood Elves have broken apart many

beastmen warbands and destroyed them at their leisure, and it appears the mutated kin of Chaos are powerless to form

any semblance of an army to threaten their foes.

15th Sommerzeit (5th month) [Day 26; Battle of Unterguard Bridge 1st Day]

The withdrawal from Breder by Count Todbringer has left the men of von Raukov in a tight spot. The Chaos forces are

pressing hard, and the Count of Ostland is mustering his men for a speedy march to Esk. It is likely that there will be little

respite at the village, as it seems that Boris Todbringer is intent not on defending the small villages in the east of

Middenland, and his forces are even now continuing to move westward along the Old Forest Road. The warlord Leth-

Dar, emmissary of Cyspeth the Gifted, has gathered an army to the north of the town.

Attacks against the Brass Keep is testing the defenders. One initial foray is met by the Dwarfen warriors of Ragargrim

Skund, his Thunderers and war machines taking a heavy toll and even destroying a Greater Daemon that had

manifested from the strengthening magical field surrounding the Tzeentchian host.

Recovering quickly from the shock of Khazrak's surprise attack, forces around Untergard have moved into the town and

assaulted the area around the bridge in an attempt to dislodge the many Beastmen now lurking within the half-ruined

storehouses and the sprawling coaching station that dominates the end of the bridge itself. An assault along the bridge

itself was repulsed by a counter-attack from the mutated beasts of the Dark Gods. Battle of Unterguard Bridge begins

(lasts 9 days).

With Count Ludenhof now in residence, the defence of Hergig continues. Not entirely at home in the ongoing siege.

Ludenhof is said to be planning a sally forth with the Jaegerkorp, in an attempt to break out through the attackers' lines

and start battling against the foes that are even now marching to the Hochland capital.

Fort Schippel is still a formidable bastion standing in the way of the twisted legion of Styrkaar. Knowing full well the fate

that will befall them should they be captured by the followers of Slaanesh, the defenders of the castle have vowed to die

fighting. The devoted of the dark Prince launch several assaults in quick succession, including attacks through the night.

Siege of Praag begins.

16th Sommerzeit (5th month) [Day 27; Battle of Unterguard Bridge 2nd Day]

Defences at Breder have been overrun by the forces of Haargoth the Blooded One. Bestial, rage-driven warriors pour

into the streets, slaughtering all in their path. The disorganised remnants of the defending army are now been pushed

back to Esk, with the frenzied fighters of the Lord of Skulls close behind.

Brass Keep has seen an escalation in the fighting, as more forces from both sides pour into the Middle Mountains; the

army of Cyspeth on the one hand desperate to win a quick advantage, the defenders knowing that behind them stands

an almost open road to Middenheim itself.

The panic and confusion at Esk, caused by von Raukov's rapid retreat, has enabled Feytor and his foetid minions to

make gains against the defenders, destroying several outlying buildings and moving into the village itself.

The foray by Count Ludenhof from Hergig has been put on hold, as Chaos forces threaten to overwhelm the north gate

of the city. Every man, elf and dwarf is needed for the walls, and the Count has listened to the impassioned advice of his

war council and decided to remain within his capital.



The attacks at Fort Schippel continue. With troops now freed from the fighting at Breder, the Kommandant of the Fort,

Kristophe Gohlinghost looks warily to the north to see whether fresh enemies will arrive at his gate, or press on to the

much weaker defences as Esk.

Khazrak one-eye push his bestial warriors onto the bridge at Untergard, and break out into the remainder of the town.

With the river held, the divided forces of the Beastlord capture supplies intended for Middenheim, and are now armed

with weapons stolen from the barges intended for Boris Todbringer's host.
