Description     The Duchy of Toussack was the first territory of the Southern Kingdoms to be given to a vermin lord. Ser Sirius of Blackmoor did not approve of this, and launched an attack to seize the duchy.
    Tragically, Ser Sirius had grievously underestimated Duke Greddin Toussack, and his three captains: Ser Rangvulr, Ser Radoviid, and Ser Kaern. This turned what should have been an easy victory into a bloody massacre of the High Rock Knight's army of 300.
    Each leading a force of 50-100 beasts, the Toussack Three surrounded Ser Sirius' army and cut through the hastily assembled ranks. Dragging on for almost an hour, the battle saw many losses on both sides. Then Ser Kaern of Toussack was felled by a stray arrow, leading to one of the vermin flanks to collapse. Now numbering almost 100 fewer, it looked set to be Ser Sirius' victory.
    It was at this time that Ser Radoviid of Goodbarrel, tossing aside his helmet so that his soldiers could see his face, charged the High Rock lines again. Batting aside hares and mice, the ferret knight did not stop his charge until he reached Ser Sirius himself. It was in this moment that Ser Radoviid struck down the hare knight, shattering the moral of the High Rock army. Without their leadership, the soldiers of High Rock were chased back across the borders of Toussack.

    Though having achieved an outstanding victory, this would not be the last war waged across the Duchy of Toussack. Many nobles from the Kingdom High Rock were outraged at the death of Ser Sirius, who was the brother of the current regent of High Rock, King Cyrus II. Skirmishes would continue to spark up around the borders of Toussack, eventually leading to a bloody civil war...
