Burning Marches
From RPG Wiki
The March is burning.
That was what the rumors said. A strange blight had turned the crops to dust, but that was not why the March burned. The March burned with the Fires of Faith. A holy man had come out of the wild. A Prophet, like those of olden days, and a Healer he was said to be. Few knew the truth of it, but rumor spread the fire across the March.
But beyond the March there were other forces at work. Forces of a nature most foul. Men might have been ignorant of its icy tendrils, but Dwarf and Elf were not. The Dwarves withdrew into their mountain holds. The Elves sang a new lament. Were the Last Days upon the Empire? The Emperor would have his answer.

Prince Stefan made it as far as the village of Treaty. So named it was thanks to the meetings that Men and Elf often held there. Prince Stefan would go no further. In the dark of night his fate was sealed. The morning found only his lifeless corpse.
As fate would have it the strange new prophet was wandering through Treaty that same evening. So far as anyone knew the man had no ire to hold against Prince Stefan, but the nobles knew a rabble-rouser when they saw one. Likewise present was the Elven Emissary. Of course no suspicion could ever be cast upon him. Could it? In these dark days no answer could be sure.
For centuries after the historians would discuss, at length, how the battle lines were first drawn in the bloody, little town called Treaty....
