A campaign of many sides

In the imperial year of 1797 Vlad Von Carstein becomes the first Count of Sylvania and marries Countess Isabella Von Drak. This marriage lasts for about 2 centuries, during which Vlad ruled with an iron hand, in 2014 Vlad was killed by Jerek Kruger, grand master of the order of the white wolf. However in 2015 Vlad returned to Middenheim and butchers Jerek Kruger. On other numerous times Vlad had been slain but then returns to slaughter his supposed killer, finally in 2051 his power is discovered, it was a ring. This powerful Von Carstein ring was stolen by Felix Mannso one night, an agent sent by the Grand Theogonist Wilhelm III, Felix was able to seal the ring from Vlads hand but fled and was never heard from again, the powerful Von Carstein Vampire and his Countess were then killed in the Siege of Altdorf, and the old world rested as Vlads army crumbeled.
The year is now 2551, exactly 500 years on from that year where Vlad’s power was discovered and his ring was stolen, now word has been stirring about the ring, a new power has arisen in the south to reclaim it, it has been said that Vlad has returned. He only needs the ring and he would have the power to cover the whole of the old world in darkness, forces are already moving, the dead are restless and word has spread that they are openly walking about defending there lands in Sylvania. The Drakenhof tower has been rebuilt, now all that stands between Vlad and the domination of the old world is weather or not the ring can stay hidden from him, but it wants to get back to its master it want to be found. So, who will act to stop him? What races of the old world will show themselves? Will the dwarves march to stop the threat? Will the elves muster a force to stop the Vampires? Is there enough strength in men left to stop Vlad?
however, there are more powers in the old world that just those of the forces of good, will chaos forces arive to take the ring for themselves? will Orc warbands seek the ring to make there waaagh the biggest? and are the scaven arising to try to clame the power of teh ring and use it in there dark magic.
no one knows who will prevail, all that is know is that should Vlad regain his ring, there will be untold damage done to the old world and all races will live in fear and slavery.
the undead are marching, who will stop them? who will prevail?

the rules for this campaign are going to start very simply with small battles, border patroll's, small armies searching for the ring at the same place at the same time, no general will know who they will face.
names will be put into a hat and simply drawn out one at a time to know who is facing who, army lists must be written up before hand so once you know who you are playing you can not change your amy.
the victor of each battle will have the cance to look for clues to the location of the ring and it is once you have enough clues you can go to clame it for yourself. remember though you may get there first, it doesnt mean that the enamy doesnt have spies watching you movements.
To build an army for the border skirmishes you must have up to 500pts. (You can have less if you want but that’s just silly)
In you 500 pts you must have one hero level character, costing no more than 125pts, he is your general in these battles.
You must take a minimum of 1 core unit.
You can not have more than 1 rare OR 1 special.
You may not have any magical banners.
you must come with an army list pre-made and eithor written by hand or done on the computor.
