>>5999532At the same time, Kislevite lands between the rivers of Tobol and Lynsk were hit with a wave of Baersonling refugees, fleeing the northern barbarians. Initially, doubts were had about whether these savages were connected in their actions with the ones laying waste to the Wheatlands. And while not much is known about the invasion of the Baersonling realm, it is known for certain that their capital fell. There have been mentions that the barbarians sturck into the lands of Kislev on our side of the mountains aswell, but the Cheka has not been interested in letting me know overmuch about it.
In the autumn of 2537, the hordes returned to their lands to recruit more followers to their banners to spread more evil upon the civilized peoples of the old world. Of interest is a small army of Kurgan that remained and offered their services. The boyar-governor of the Wheatlands bought their services. The hordes returned in 2538 and yet again struck, with the same company of evildoers striking at the Wheatlands with the goal of finishing off the remained that had not evacuated from that ill fated attempt at settling past the protection the mountains have ever offered us. Not many fled to tell the tale, but my estimates place the dead at twenty five thousand souls.
Yet that was not the end of the troubles for the Ursuns people, for even more refugees fled southwards and a horde of beastmen and Baersonlings, either driven southwards out of desparation or pragmatic sideswitching, joined the forces of the Zar Hangar, supposedly a Kurgan at the head of this black crusade and plundered the upper streams of the rivers of Lynsk, Severolynsk and Tobol, only being stopped at Praag and Ostrosk. At least fifteen thousand souls perished here.
Yet, that is not all the harm done to the peopls of the fair world, for our short brethren, the Dwarves of Kraka Ravnsvake, were also attacked and lost the port of Sjoktraken and the outpost of Khazid Bordkarag. They are not likely to easily forgive this outrage. We may hope that they will join us in revenge for these strikes.
I write this letter titled to all the Elector counts of the Empire so that all may see the danger slowly brewing in the north against all the fair peoples of the south and so that they may act in time and protect both us and Kislev.
