In this episode we discover that while Konrad von Carstein ravaged the Empire his mysterious brother, Mannfred, studied the art of necromancy within the bleak sands of Nehekhara. We look at the Machiavellian plans of Mannfred and his role in the downfall of Vlad. So effective were his deceptions that Dhar keeps calling him Vlad. We look at Mannfred’s campaign to become the Emperor, marching to Altdorf itself where he is confronted by Grand Theoginist, and surfer-bro, Kurt III. We follow his siege of Marienburg and his cat-and-mouse evasion until he is involved in a Griffon mounting incident at the battle of Hell Fen.   This month's episode is sponsored by Bling of Brachland.   Production assistance from James 'That One A*****e' Alquist.   Show Notes and Imagery for this Episode: https://layingdownthelore.com/ep28/ Join us on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/LayingDownTheLore _______________________   If you dig what we're putting down and want more juicy content, head over to our Patreon.
