One day when you are old and weak, mortal,
we shall return for you. We shall drink of you. We shall revenge our beloved
Elysabet! We shall bleed you and your Empire dry and when we have finished, you
will be one of us. Your rotting flesh will be a feast for the crows and worms
but you shall not rest. You will suffer an eternity of horror, Maximillian von
Klaus. In forty years, we shall find you. We shall kill you. We will kill your
sons, your people, your whole pitiful Empire."
—Antoine von Carstein swearing revenge at
the Battle of Schrolnetz Plain
The Battle of Schrolnetz Plain was a large
battle fought in 2465 IC between the forces of the Empire and the undead army
of the vampire Antoine von Carstein.
Von Carstein's army had marched out of
Sylvania intent on destroying the Empire. He would have succeeded had Emperor
Wilhelm III not united the Elector Counts against his army. The climax of the
campaign took place at the Battle of Schrolnetz Plain, in which the Undead were
soundly defeated.
In the midst of the Battle, a unit of
Knights of the Blazing Sun, led by their Grand Master Maximillian von Klaus,
charged the vampire and defeated his guards. Von Carstein, however, was not
killed and swore revenge. After his defeat, Antoine von Carstein returned to
Sylvania and plotted his revenge against his defeaters. This later came to pass
at the Battle of Stuttburg.
