Questing knights Slew herd-kin in the glades. They cooked his flesh upon their fire And Nurgle punished them with death Save only one, robust and strong. He called on Nurgle and so death passed him by To serve me as my henchman When I was consumed with the rot. ——LOTHAR, 'THE BATTLE OF THE GLADES'. At the Battle of the Glades, a band of knights slew on of Lothar's Beastmen in the forest glades and ate his flesh only to die from the infected meat of Nurgle's herd. Lothar's retinue now numbered five beastmen and four dwarfs, one Dwarf having been slain in the battle. However, when one of the knights miraculously survived his wounds, and recognised the will of Nurgle, Lothar accepted him as his personal henchman.
