Every day, the situation in Eich became more chaotic. The undead, demons, and all sorts of invaders from other dimensions would cause bad news to be brought to us on a daily basis.
The Holy Church was also becoming ever more active. They had already sent out many Cardinals, spreading everywhere like tentacles. The Cardinals were doing their best to grab as much attention as possible on the battlefields in countries everywhere. Of course, everyone would want free reinforcements and healing support, but when such "free" help came with the requirement that you cede military authority to the Cardinal, then it would be unwanted.
