Timeline

• 14.06.1560

• • ZSG and RRA Troops, ordered to quell Rebellion in Zeismark, entered Keerstrum, a city on the Southeastern Border of Zeismark. The Monarchist Command expected little pushback, but what they did not know was that the Zeismarkian Underground, long prepared for a civil war, had already infiltrated many cities in the state, Keerstrum being especially important to the ZSU due to its strategic position at the border. The first troops to enter the city were of the ZSG, with RRA troops staying at the back of the army, mostly to guard the supply lines, though some were positioned on a hill as artillery support, just for the chance of a bigger battle. The ZSU, with its headquarters in the Church of K'kuth, put their plan to lure the Monarchist forces into a trap in the middle of the city into action. The first day of the battle would see no organized fighting, only some irregular engagements between independent actors and the Monarchist troops. While this was going on, the WRRA, who had signed an agreement with the ZSU, had sent a small artillery force to take up position in the "Von Lerfe" metal smelting factory, an industrial complex to the west of the city, and a cell of the Cult of Lthyr had taken up positions in the Geijneld district of the city.
