War of the Boars and the Black Knight

The bloody civil war that would change this kingdom forever.

The Conflict

Prelude

The Black Knight had served the Boar King for several years committing atrocities and unknowingly killing his own family members. When the Black Knight finally learned of his true past, he waited until his newly found sister's execution. He then skewered the Boar king through the back and with the help of his Black Guard was able to escape with his sister.

Deployment

At the start of the war most of the Black Legion was stationed in outside the capital of Kingdom of Chauletre. When Noiran Epeistisou arrived at the Black Legion camp he gave them the news of the King's death and the imminent civil war. He had a large portion of the Black Legion march for the Black Keep. The rest marched towards Château de Lachau, in hopes of securing the Baron Valentin as an ally.
