One crisp fall morning, General Aerev received an urgent letter from Queen Ayelith. It reads as follows:
General,
Reports have informed us of a barbaric ceremony taking place in the distant land of Bavaria: the “Oktoberfest.”
While no one knows the exact nature of the dark transgressions transpiring there, scouts report blasphemy and debauchery of unparalleled dimensions. Intoxicated by excessive amounts of alcohol and hypnotised by unholy tunes called “Blasmusik,” the Oktoberfest is said to break even the most virtuous spirits — prompting men and women alike to break into salacious dance and mindlessly roar along to music of questionable taste.
For the sake of morality and all that’s good and holy, Your Queen commands you to foray into Bavaria, seize control of the ceremonial grounds, and put an end to this debauchery. A specialised general from Bavaria with knowledge of native battle tactics shall aid you in your endeavours.
If possible, do return a barrel of “Wiesnbier” to Nortander upon emerging victorious. Or two. For, uhm, research.
