Battle of the Bull

Military action

Queen Hildegard VI Bheuren of Aldernord, increasingly erratic in her decisions, dismisses Grand-Marshall Arcadio Sarren from his post and issues confusing and contradictory orders to the armies in the Lyskan plain in advance of a battle against an invading Balthan force. The result is nothing short of chaos as the Alderni forces lose all cohesion and are routed by the warriors of Clan Vildstrom. Within weeks, all the ground gained under Helena III is lost as the Balthan forces surge toward the river Lyska, encircling the Alderni army in Kjelslund.
