Once again it seems the cattle have escaped their pastures as they wander freely across the countryside where just any stray herdsman can pick them up and take them home, so it’s time to gather your five man melee teams, dust off your swords and spears, and take to the fields to make sure that you get your share!
That’s right folks, its time for Starhaven’s annual Cattleraids, only this time its going to be bigger and better then it has ever been!
