The Rebel Cavalry cuts down the Imperial contingent moving Archduke John d’Amaury

On the 13th of Deep Cold 1593, the hills of the Crownlands grew several feet; new soil made from the bodies of the Imperial army.

 

With the capture of Archduke John d’Amaury by imperials not but a few days prior, a bold move had to be made by the rebels if they had any hope of saving him. Imperial loyalists were transporting their prisoner to the Dominion of Malin, and a plan was hatched amongst the rebellion’s leadership: a daring rescue. Swift like hawkfeather arrows, the rebellion’s finest men rode hard into the fray against the allied Imperial forces.

 

A 3 to 1 advantage was not enough for the Emperor’s men.

 

The collected imperial forces were driven into disarray, the horsemen supporting their flanks ripped to shreds by rebel infantry pikes. John d’Amaury fled amidst the chaos, the loyalists quickly breaking ranks as they lost track of the Archduke -- by the time they had any sense of where he had gone, the Archduke had already reached the safety of a rebel boat at the river. No longer can the Empire hide behind the military reputation of its past, as the facade finds itself smashed beyond repair. Lorraine’s rightful ruler is restored once again.

 

The Emperor ought to remember though, that Johannesburg cannot flee. Metz cannot swim. Karlsburg cannot run for the Hills. Yet our army marches towards each.

walk up to a guy who's standing still and doing nothing and start talking to him

he doesn't respond

"well i guess the logical explanation is that he just forgot how to move and type for a while, and only actually went afk the moment we arrived. yeah that makes sense"
