Beastmen take a beating

Between 310 and 315 the fortunes of the beastmen in the northern domain of the Kaalroen Empire suffered greatly as several powers ventured into the Domain of Beasts and plundered its wealth.

Before their defeat to the lizardmen expedition in 314, the High Elves of Mellvellon had already waged a successful campaign against the beastmen in 310PC. Worse still for the northern dwellers of Canabrin the skaven, searching for new sources of warpstone also trespassed into the beastmen domain in 314PC and butchered all forces sent to deny them passage.

Finally in 315PC, sick of his Empire's loss of prestige, the lord of Hovedstaden set out from his tower with a large army, intent on shoring up his northern border by occupation of the beastmen ladns if necessary. He was therefore shocked and angered to find that the beastmen failed to pay him adequate fealty and even had the temerity to mount a defence against his passage into the beastmen domain.

Unfortunately for the beastmen their prowess in battle was no better against their liege lord than it had been in battles against foreign invaders. The beastmen were decisively defeated by lord Tragaen and the lord of Hovedstaden was able to take measures to defend his northern border.
