Theobald II was King of Bretonnia, one of the fabled Grail Knights and an avowed enemy of the Master Necromancer, Heinrich Kemmler.
History[]
In the year 2470 IC, The Dukes of several Tilean cities secretly pledged allegiance to Kemmler to spare themselves the worst of his raids. Instead, the Lichemaster turned his attention to the Bretonnian province of Carcassonne.[1]
In 2475 IC, Kemmler destroyed the Bretonnian town of Breganalle and raised its inhabitants as Undead vassals. The Duke of Carcassonne led his army against Kemmler but was soundly beaten. The torn and ravaged remains of the Duke and his household knights were later found lashed to stakes along the side of the Breganalle road. King Theobald II was dismayed and outraged by these occurrences and offered a vast reward to any man who could lead the armies of Bretonnia to Kemmler's hidden lair.[1]
In midwinter of 2478 IC, King Theobald learned the location of Kemmler's stronghold in The Vaults and led an army into the mountains. After a bloody siege, the Lichemaster's sorcery undid the Bretonnian army, who were forced to retreat through the snow. Theobald, however, vowed to return.[1]
In 2479 IC, Theobald ordered the holiest of weapons removed from their shrines and carried to war against Kemmler's fortress. Though the King himself was slain, the Lichemaster's armies were crushed and his fortress was thrown down. Badly wounded, Kemmler escaped with his life and fled deeper into the Vaults...[1]
