Unaware of the relic sword’s true identity as the lost dragonblade of clan Dheubrodsûn – for the Baron has kept the artifact’s non-human origin a secret – Erich Schur was caught by surprise when reports started trickling in of increased Dweghom activity from the hold of Ghe’Domn. Not knowing the true reason behind such commotion and being extremely wary of the destructive potential of a Dweghom army, Schur wrote to the Chamberlain – who immediately liberated funds and empowered Erich to raise as powerful a force as he could.
The possibility of Pravia being attacked was enough to galvanize the Chamberlain into action: the city was under the direct diplomatic protection of the Chamberlain, having sought his patronage, after the dissolution of the Empire, to shield itself from potential territorial hostilities. Schur must now face the imminent emergence of the Stone Face King alone, as the Theist Church and its pawns seek to see their foes exhaust one another so that they might destroy the Dweghom army as it seeks the walls of Pravia, furthering their political ambitions.
