Background
During the End Times the Glottkin were pronounced champions of Nurgle. They gathered a huge force together and crossed the Sea of Claws to invade the Empire, with Altdorf as their final destination while secretly Festus the Leechlord established himself in the Altdorf sewers to start working on a dark ritual which would culminate on the day the Nurgle forces where due to arrive- Geheimnisnacht. After the disaster at the Battle of Heffengen Kurt Helborg had been left as Steward of the Empire after the Emperor's apparent demise. Seeing the Nurgle forces converging on the city he started building up the city's defenses and sent requests for aid across the land. One recipient, Louen Leoncoeur, former King of Bretonnia called an Errantry War and gathered a large force of crusader knights to march towards Altdorf. Additionally, upon seeing the influence of Nurgle spreading across the land on his return from the Auric Bastion, Vlad von Carstein resolved to once again try to create an alliance between himself and the mortal lords of the Empire. He and five vampires, including Munvard the Cruel of Marienburg traveled to Altdorf. Gregor Martak, Supreme Patriarch of the Colleges of Magic, inspired by dreams and furious at the dismissive attitude of Kurt Helborg left Altdorf to search for the Emperor, who he believed to be still alive after Heffengen. He found him in the woods and the two slowly made their way back towards Altdorf. When Vlad arrived in Altdorf he offered an alliance to Helborg who agreed out of desperation. The vampires resurrected the dead of the city, both recent and ancient, to fight in it's defense. Just as they finished the three armies of Nurgle; The Glottkin, The Maggoth Riders and Epidemius and Gutrot Spume and The Harbinger all converged on Altdorf. A relief force in the form of Louen Leoncoeur's knights also arrived at the city. As the armies meet in battle Festus' ritual is completed, opening a huge portal to the Realm of Chaos in the heart of the city, spewing daemons into the streets.
Stages of Battle
- A jungle of twisted, rotting growth spreads rapidly throughout the city.
- The bulk of the Bretonnian force charges the Nurgle armies while Leoncoeur himself leads his pegasus knights into the city on his hippogriff to the Temple of Shallya which is being assaulted by Festus and the Great Unclean One Ku'gath. Vlad also arrives at the temple. Leoncoeur slays Ku'gath before being decapitated by Festus. Vlad destroys Festus in return.
- Epidemuis is banished by the explosion of a misfiring Hellblaster Volley Gun.
- Mundvard is destroyed by the Ethrac Glott.
- The Emperor and Martak arrive at the city. They, the Glottkin, Helborg, the Harbinger and Vlad all converge on the Imperial Palace.
- Vlad easily defeats Otto Glott in a duel, but is infected by the foul blood of the Nurgle Champion and is forced to flee before he can finish his opponent off.
- Defeated in a magical duel by Ethrac Martak flees into the Palace complex pursued by the Harbinger and his Beastmen. He leads them to the Imperial Menagerie where the Beastmen and their sorcerous master are immolated by the Imperial dragon.
- Helborg is killed by Otto defending the Emperor, but Karl Franz is still killed soon after.
- Karl Franz is reborn in a fiery conflagration of light that destroys or drives away the forces of Nurgle. Unknown to all save him, this is in fact Sigmar reborn in Karl Franz's body and he has become the Incarnate of Heavens.
Aftermath
Altdorf is abandonded and the Imperial forces, led by the newly empowered Emperor move to the city of Averheim, the only major city still standing in the Empire.
