A large-scale Norsca raider warband had entered the Chaos Wasteland. At that time, they were invincible, smashing three human legions in succession, including a powerful legion composed of elite knights from the Baron's Territory. Over a thousand well-equipped knights were reduced to fragments under the axes of these strong and robust barbarians.
The nightmare these brutes hunted instilled fear in countless humans. Their forces were unstoppable and were about to cross the Empire's border to wreak havoc on the fertile plains of humanity.

Continuous defeats had left everyone with low morale, filled with fear and despair about the future.
