The Battle of Cape Bronson

[Esterlen 4462]

 

 

“No-one can fault the Emperor for bringing the dwarves to their knees.”

   -Lothar Horen, Imperial Justiciar, to Sohaer Kalenz Uradir, dated 1459

 

 

The Valley of Flowers had wrought a bloody swathe of victims through the Imperial ranks, dispensing its heavy handed justice over commoner, burgher and noble alike. Yet for all the blood that the cruel siege had spilt and all the wounds incurred, the advancing forces seemed implacable in their advances.

 

The bodies were mounted high around the fortress of Khro’Nogaak, too high to offer any future assault upon the broken and ruined walls. It was a time for eyes to travel elsewhere - to search for another path through which to drive at the stout’s malignant capital.

 

“I’ll hear no more about that damned fortress,” proclaimed Emperor John in a husky voice, his entourage marching through the war-camp of tents and his gauntleted hands wrung together as a subtle sign of his displeasure.

 

“But how?” inquired one of the three Rothesay brothers, most likely the youngest, Baldwin, “How could our fire not undo their stone, our reserves-”

 

He was interrupted by the Emperor’s cold gaze. “If I hear another word about Khro’Nogaak, I swear more heads will roll than that of the dwarves,” he switched his attentions at once. “Tell me, General Josef! Have you readied the transports?”

Right. I will continue to oversee the conflict. Both parties have an already established Skype group from past warclaims which we will continue to use.

 

Update Dec 28th, 1:22 PM - War rules have been altered based off discussions from the night before. Still pending an answer to the right of passage to the land itself.

So... surprise!!! http://imgur.com/a/WJvl8 We're having a skirmish on boats. As a few small notes to add; ladders and boats will be provided to both parties. All potions besides Alchemist fire will be allowed and as a note of reference you will be required to move forward from your spawn locations in the battleworld when it starts. Meaning, as soon as the barriers are done go forward into the center. You will be encouraged through a wool wall that will consume your capital ship and effectively force you off it. If you have any questions feel free to send me a PM! Good luck have fun.

Orenian Victory.
