Hail! Fair and noble traveler, come join us as we continue the tale of Dietrich von Adlershorst and his friends, family and enemies. Now for a short recollection of the story thus far: After being installed as count of Grünwald by grace of granduncle our most gallant hero set out at once to fix and repair his land so that they may be prosperous once more.
Our watchful hero set out to retrieve deserting serfs only to stumble into his first real threat. A vile bastard son of the previous ruler of the land after arresting and executing the rapscallion with help of the local junker Laurenz von Hirschkirchen. While helping some elves along the way. Afterwards young Dietrich, ever willing to improve his lands took to improve infrastructure on both land and river to help facilitate trade.
Then to improve the efficiency of the administration the ever-diligent count divided his lands into castellanies. As well beginning to build his castle up to standard. Then our magnetic count attracted to his service a wizard who gave him a magic necklace.
But then my good friends our hero received a visit from his mother and elder brother. In the meantime the most-valiant count decided to create a new personal retinue for his safety. After gallantly stalling the issue of marriage with his mother and giving them a tour of his.
He received troubling news for the new grandmaster Rudolf von Eisenstall is an opponent of his patron, the archbishop Albrecht, who coincidentally is also his granduncle. Now after bolstering his retinue and creating new income to fund them. We now return towards Dietrich as he faces what might be a truly worthy foe.
