(The translation wasn't exactly easy to read, so it needs to be taken with a grain of salt)
That's it! Start speculating - or discussing!
- Starts up with a summation of the what we already know from Gav's diaries.
Day 1: Karl Franz on the offensive- Karl Franz, Kurt Helborg and Ludwig Schwarzhelm decides to mount a quick assault on Archaon and his forces before Archaon gets a chance to reach the Brass Tower and fortify his forces there. Helborg is chosen to lead the army.
- Archaon has retreated to the town of Sokh(!) He knows that Valten is coming with an army of flagelants and warrior priests and that the army of Karl Franz is on the way. Along with Styrkaar and Haargroth, Archaon decides to attack one army first instead of waiting for both of them. They set up a trap and attack Helborg's forces first, but Helborg discovers the trap and manage to pull part of the army out in time.
- Archaon doesn't care about the remains of Helborg forces, choosing instead to go after Valten.
Day 2: Huss, Valten and Archaon clash- Thinking the Archaon is entrenched at Sokh, Valten and Huss march towards the town only to be met by Archaon's forces and the big man himself.
- Cyspeth enters the fray and casts a devastating spell on Valten's army.
- With the army in dire straits, Valten decides to charge headlong in to the heart of the battle along with his retinue of warrior priests. Archaon sends The Swords of Chaos to intercept but Valten crushes them utterly!
- The remains of Valten's forces fight valiantly whilst Valten rides in search of Archaon. He comes up empty, finding Kordel Shorgaar instead. They fight but Shorgaar flees before Valten gets a chance to kill him.
- At the end of day, they fight to a stand still.
- Karl Franz discovers that the remains of Archaon's army are not that big and decides to try and end it once and for all in the morning.
Day 3: Soldiers of Light, Green and Darkness- Anxious to end the war, Karl Franz orders all his forces to attack. Under heavy fire from Archaon's battery of Hellcannons, they do so.
- Meanwhile Valten mounts his attack once again. Drawing Archaon's attention and that of his hellcannons, Valtens horse is killed by cannon fire - even in the fluff, that horse is a liability! Valten survives, if burnt a bit.
- Before Karl Franz can reach Archaon's army, he is cut off by Be'lakor and his daemonic legion, leaving Valten to face Archaon alone.
- Just as things couldn't get any worse, they do! Grimgor announcers his arrival on the battlefield. He too wants Archaon. Valten ignores the greenskin thread and gathers a small force including Luther Huss in order to seek out Archaon.
- Enter Teclis and Co. With Karl Franz completely surrounded, Teclis and his elven army of mages arrives to the scene to kick some daemonic legion butt. Teclis is successful and Be'lakor's army is banished. No sign of Be'lakor himself though.
- Whilst Valten's army fights chaos and greenskins alike, at last Valten seeks out Archaon and his the few remaining Swords of Chaos. Valten and Archaon finally get it on.
- Guess what! Valten starts out by killing Archaon's daemonic mount! This kid has got some brains to go with that brawn!
- Archaon and Valten fight on foot, cutting each others armour to pieces. Archaon manages to wound Valten severely before he sees the birthmark on Valten's now exposed chest. Startled by the sight the twin-tailed comet, Archaon backs off for a moment, only to be attacked by Luther Huss. The attack glances off Archaon's armour but throws him off balance and forces him down on one knee. Archaon parries a second attack and knocks Huss of his feet. Valten is down and out.
- Archaon turns to face a new enemy: Grimgor! Grimgor procedes to kick Archaon out of the ballpark - Red Sox style, knocking U'zul out of his hands and wounding him in the process. Archaon is down and out too. Grimgor roars to the skies:"I'm the greatest!" He then gathers his army and leaves the battlefield.
- Huss regains his senses, finds his horse and locates Valten's unconscious body. Huss brings Valten to the temple of Shallya where Volkmar tends to Valten's wounds.
- Archaon's beaten forces retreat to Sokh and the Hellcannon batteries.
- Archaon's own fate is unknown (it is not clear whether Grimgor kills him outright or not).
Day 4: Heeeerrreeeeeeee's Mannfred- Archaon's army still has some life left in it. Kurt Helborg's army advances on the remnants, led by Haargroth.
- Imperial artillery levels Sokh to the ground. Karls Franz promises compensations to those who lost their homes. However Khazrak mounts an ambush on the artillery batteries and battle ensues. Karl Franz orders the cavalry to attack Khazrak and for the infantry to advance on Sokh.
- During the melee, Ar-Ulric Emil Valgeir squares off against Haargroth and beats him in single combat. Meanwhile, in the east, dark clouds gather rapidly.
- Mannfred Von Carstein's army of the dead finally arrives with a retinue of Vampires, Necromancers and masses of undead troops. Mannfred surveys the battlefield and lets loose a massive Invocation of Nehek.
- Seing Mannfred's deeds, the last remnants of Archaon's army flees the battlefield and head for the mountains, possibly The Brass Tower. Archaon is still unaccounted for.
- Mannfred turns his attention to Karl Franz, Kurt Helborg and the remains of the Imperial forces. Mannfred proclaims that Karl and Co. can either leave or die!
- Enter the Joker: Volkmar the Grim! Volkmar and Mannfred get into staring contest(!). Mannfred starts to reconsider, remembering the fate of Vlad at the hands of Grand Theogonist Wilhelm, his own land of Sylvania and the impendent thread of Vardek Crom. In the end Mannfred chickens out (buuuuh!) and leaves with his freshly raised army!
- Only silence fills the air - the war has been won, but at a steep price.
The Aftermath- The Empire is in shambles. Many thousands of people are homeless and without food.
- Although Archaon's forces have been defeated, there are still sporadic fighting going on with infestations of beastmen and the skaven have invaded Zundap.
- Middenheim has been defended but bears the scares of hellcannon fire and the dead still litter the streets. The Skaven has fled Ulricsberg as the Skaven Sphere of Destruction has been detonated, though not to its full extent. The sewers and catacombs were filled with green mutating energies of warpstone affecting everyone and everything under Middenheim. However, part of the sphere is still lies dormant somewhere under Middenheim waiting to be reactivated.
- With the threat of Archaon gone (for now), a new problem has arisen: A schisme between the followers of Sigmar, Ulric and Valten and the two Grand Theogonists. Some want Johann Esmer to stay and Volkmar to give him his blessing, some want Volkmar to return and some don't really care. Furthermore, old conflicts between sigmarites and ulricans have started to resurface.
- And if that wasn't enough, some started to suggest that Valten should be made the new emperor once he has recovered from his wounds. Some saw him as Sigmar incarnate whilst others saw him as a mere mortal since he had suffered wounds in combat. Karl Franz once again had a mess on his hands and order had to be restored asap.
- Karl Franz consulted his advisors with regards to Valten and what to do with him. Should he abdicate or not? What would happen if he denied Valten and what about Luther Huss and his proclamations that Valten was Sigmar reborn? Could he deny Sigmar?
- In the end Esmer and Boris Todbringer requested 3 days to find a solution that would prevent a new imperial civil war.
- On the second day, it all became a mute point as Huss found Valten dead in his bed, killed by an "unknown" assassin carrying a shinning green sword which was left behind. The Hammer of Sigmar was returned to Karl Franz by Huss as he told him of Valten's death.
