Background
In early 2528 Nurgle forces start invading Sylvania. They were led by the resurrected Isabella von Carstein', who had been twisted and corrupted by Nurgle to act as an anathema to the undead, and the Nameless, a mindless spirit and former Mortarch of Nagash's who betrayed his master in favour of the Chaos Gods. Mannfred von Carstein, supported by the insane vampire pirate king Luthor Harkon, was given the job of repelling the invasion.
Despite a few minor, early victories, Mannfred was overwhelmingly defeated by the forces of the plague lord when the mighty willpower of the Nameless ripped control of his zombies hordes from him. Forced to retreat to an abandoned coaching inn nearby called The Dead and Buried Mannfred and a small number of powerful vampire lords were joined by Vlad von Carstein and made a desperate last stand.
Stages of battle
Aftermath
Despite the loss of the Namess and his zombie hordes the battle was a major victory for the Nurgle forces, who were then free to penetrate Sylvania all the way to Nagash's centre of power at the Black Pyramid.
