 Westin is the capital of Wesnoth's frontier province of Kerlath, southwest of Fort Tahn. Westin is a calm and peaceful part of Wesnoth. The elves remain apart from men and only the occasional bandit troubled the peace. Reports from Sir Loris, commander of the South Guard, suddenly stopped. King Haldric sent Deoran, a young, undistinguished knight, to find out why Loris has stopped sending reports.

 On his way to Westin, Deoran finds that bandits and outlaws have overrun many of the outlying villages; the land is descending into lawlessness. Loris had not kept a vigilant watch. The villagers report that bandits have been sacking their homes and urge Deoran to find Sir Gerrick in the river fort. Gerrick provides weapons and armor and the group (perhaps with the help of some mermen) is able to defeat the bandit Urza Mathin.

 The party journeys deep in the southern forest to the banks of the Black River. This dark forest is unknown even to the elves. They find both undead and bandits. The bandits are fearful and tell Deoran and Ethiliel that they kidnapped Mebrin and forced him to teach them the secrets of raising the dead. Mebrin fell under the sway of the necromancy and now he leads the undead. Ethiliel swore vengeance for the kidnapping of the great sage and demanded justice.

 Deoran decides that the crimes of the bandits are too grave to ignore. He and the elves defeat the bandit leader and the Lich leading the undead. Ethiliel urges the party to press on, down into the catacombs. Only that way can the root out the undead leader and cleanse Westin of evil.

-=== "9A: Vengeance" ===
+=== Vengeance ===
 With the demise of the undead, it looks as if peace will return to Westin. A group of elves demands retribution for the kidnap and murder of their sage Mebrin. Ethiliel explains that Mebrin was corrupted by dark magic, but the elves will not listen and they attack Westin. During the battle Ethiliel calls down a thick fog and the fighting ceases. When the fog clears she forces the warriors to come to a peace. The elves will remain in the forest and the humans will not venture into elvish lands. It is an uneasy peace, but the bloodshed comes to an end.

 For days the healers of Westin worked feverishly to save as many of the valiant soldiers as they were able. Many mounds, though, were raised as homes for the fallen in the fields north of the city, and to the roll of fallen heroes many names were added.
