But when attacking the Dwarf Kingdom of Karak Kadrin, this Barbarian King was defeated and slain on the battlefield by the Dwarf Hero Grimbeor Iron Helmet.
Guer's followers frantically retrieved his body and buried him on the spot.
Fifteen hundred years passed, humans rose, establishing an empire under Charlemagne's leadership. It was during this time the Master of the Undead, Nagash, awakened. When Nagash came to the Old World seeking his Witchcraft Crown, he unintentionally discovered Guer's tomb. The Master of the Undead was overjoyed and immediately used his powerful Undead Magic to awaken the Champion of the Four Chaos Gods, turning him into his servant, and commanded Guer to lead half of his army, taking the Undead Army directly against Charlemagne's empire and the alliance army formed by Dwarves.
This was the Battle of Rick River.
