Episode: Shattered Peace

Scholar Timofey goes on to write:
"Stormward deftly repelled the attack at their doors, buying them months of safety and security to hold onto as the war continues to churn on. But there was one notable development that should bring concern not only to Duke-Regent Aethan Kennex, but to his immediate family.
The Duke brought low Lord Waylan Nightcove, killing him in battle. It's a fate that could happen to any participant in this war and one that's to be expected. But the Marquis of Eastcrest has taken the death of his youngest brother poorly and has issued a statement to the leader of Stormward. It's short, simple, and concerning:
"As you have torn from me something beloved, I will take from you the same. Before this war is over, I will deliver the heads of both your brothers to your door."
That one of the Duke's brothers is an Archlector of the Faith means the Faith likely won't take too kindly to this threat. And gossip from Eastcrest is that the only thing stopping the enraged Marquis from immediately raising a force to sail to Stormward (again) personally is Lord Anders, somehow talking his cousin down from such a catastrophic mistake.
I'm afraid that the wounds the Mourning Isles will suffer in this war may not heal for generations to come."
