The Lastwall Invasion

Restoring Tradition
The rise of House Crane to power did not go unnoticed, though the power it wielded did. Lastwall had stood as a bastion against the Hordes of Belkzen and any who would seek to replicate the acts of the Whispering Tyrant. Seeing a force so openly dealing with the vile forces of undeath was an abomination to those who'd championed this cause. Lastwall was built upon defense however, and an offense into a rapidly shifting society was one they were not prepared for.

It took them 17 years from when House Crane was formed to ready themselves fully, but they now believed themselves capable of ousting the undead and their allies from their stranglehold on the former bastion of Pharasma. Lastwall announced their war a week ahead of time as they'd always done. Their enemy might be vile and corrupt, but that did not mean Lastwall could abandon their honor to remove them. This would be their first of many mistakes during the invasion. The week's warning gave the many mages of Ustalav time to notify the commanders along the southern border of the threat.
