An Acquired Standard

[calculusdesola 1658]

 

The King's and the Marshal de Sola's victory in the east is now shouted in the streets..

 

The gore and the mud in the Druscan Forest flowed already too deep to the knee for the Bloody Baron's horses to advance as planned.  Forced to dismount and abandon their designs, it's reported that the motley, scarcely organized Watchlander forces consisting of a battalion of dehorsed de Sola knights, the personal retinue of Dwarven magnate Lori Oathcast, and a cohort of High Elven auxiliaries are to have successfully held the King's left flank under Lord Titus de Sola's command, against ferocious odds, before executing a counter-charge and piercing through the rebellion's right.

 

Gorey, nay?  Do you not remember the day the grass sucked manblood like a sponge?

 

 

Or did you lay tidy in your bed with the rest of your degenerate maggots?

 

During the engagement, slugging as his little dwarf legs could through the mud, Lord Oathcast captured the flag of the Golden Crows of Norwick and of Adria after slaying their color sergeant in single combat.

 

This capture of the Crow's legionary standard is surely a victory worthy of Orenian arms, and of Watchland soldiers.  It surely proves the Oathcast commitment to the Crown and their worth as a potential future protectorate, as much as it proves the wrath of God beset upon the rebel rabble scum in the East, and His Favor with us.  So be it, then -- Orenia Invicta, and may that fucķing standard sit nailed to the halls of Dour Watch til the end of time!

 

Dear God, we turneth you Triumphant.

"Another banner acquired, another foe slain. Put down that weapon."

"Solo uno dei tanti.." Bartolomeo would grin as he wrapped his arm around Titus's shoulder, nodding in approval

[CasualGhost 184]

The High Pontiff hears of the captured standard and nods.

 

((I do hope that capturing the enemy standard/banner becomes a bigger tradition in rp.))

[The S.U.R.O Serpent 111]

Would look on to his fallen brothers and enemies "Today was rough, but you can't climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets." He'd say solemnly, a tear shedding from his eye.

[Arteh 1837]

"A victory for the ages" Says the Lord Marshal as he raises his cup in the air during the feast

[Narthok 10416]

"It's interesting how many sub-human auxiliaries the crown needed to win the battle" Thoromir would comment raising a mug to the dead in a tavern.
