The idle ranger's attention was suddenly pulled away from the battle by something far more disturbing... whether it were their noses or other senses that picked up the threat was unsure.
"Look there!"
"Holy crap!"
Secret faction 1 has entered play:
The Undead Vanguard!
Skeletons lined up around the flanks with a slow zombie phalanx unit leading the way, and behind that the necromancer's even more sinister servants stood. Bitchy witches, dangerous at range, Shadows, known for the nigh unstoppable reign of terror they had brought upon the Kingdom, and a dangerous disciple skilled in the dark arts.
Necromancer: "Mortals... battling. They just had to crowd the area on my day out didn't they?"
Necromancess: "Your servants are with you, my master. We'll crush every last one of them if it is necessary."
Necromancer: "Their presence is a mere annoyance, nothing more, but look across the river..."
Secret faction 2 has entered play:
Knights of Kerrat!
And indeed, there, a company of knights came upon the battle. They were few in number, but powerful even individually.
Brave travellers or those well-schooled in history would have recognized them by the crests on their shields: it were the knights of Kerrat, a realm to the south, isolated by the rough landscape, that had long since split off from the Kingdom under impossible circumstances and after terrible events. What brought these men so far from their homes could only be guessed; no man alive could remember them coming this far into the Kingdom's territory!
Lord Wrynn: "A battle!"
Sir Garth: "Don't let anything interfere with our mission here, brothers!"

Those should have been larger, I know.
Accepting orders from everyone now. Remember turn order depends on this ^^.
