The All-Father Remembers

King Javier Ruric, and his envoy arriving at Jornheim

9th of the Grand Harvest, 1634

Battle of Jornheim Fields

Javier Ruric marched the Ruricguard, Silversteed Regiment, and a series of Norlandic Militias to Jornheim. The men of Norland were battle hardened by weeks of fighting and small skirmishes. Eager and ready for a real challenge, the men of Norland march on in the deep snow. The sounds of 25,000 men in armor echoes throughout the land, sending shivers down the spines of the enemy.

 

Javier turned to his side and looked down from his steed at his son Jevan Ruric. He nodded to him, their eyes said more than anything he could say in that moment. He looks then to Avalon Silversteed, who is atop his own horse. Once again Javier nods, and unspoken command understood between the two men. Avalon turns his horse on a dime, and trots to the far right flank of the army. Javier now turns behind him, he holds up a fist in silence and the men of Norland cease movement. Javier twisted the Ruric heirloom waraxe in his hand. The snow falls benignly in stark contrast to the battle that is about to commence.

 

Cold and hungry, Javier and his envoy arrived at Jornheim. The men broke bread for the All-Father with their allies, warming themselves by the fires, reveling in the comfort provided by their god, some opting to rest safely before the war. Many others, however, were training, warming their muscles and testing their own skill, and skilled they were. The rest of the Norlanders were giving gifts to the All Father and praying for victory.

 

The day prior to the battle Javier Ruric and the various coalition leaders gathered together and devised their plan.  Javier Ruric was to be in charge of the infantry forces. He vowed to them that if they listened to his orders then he would lead them to victory, and he did. Javier commanded the coalition forces with his booming voice, smashing through the Orenian lines as they held a rather large hill, near a towering mountain. He led the charge up, shattering the inferior Orenian lines  as fire bombs fell from the sky. Despite the Orenians valiant attempt, the Norlandic charge proved far superior.

 

“Remember Seahelm!” The Norlanders cried as they charged, and so the All-Father remembered, and so the battle was won.

*Angus lord purifier dismounts his horse next to Javier giving him a firm nod before saying" The All father was with us today!"

Elle Noctuid runs out into the town square upon the return of the Norlandic troops. The undersized child throws both of her hands up in the air, a smile on her face as she greets those who had returned. 

 

"Glory to the All-Father!" 

 

She declares this with gusto before silently praying to him at the Ash tree.

"Seahelm is lost to the Empire, and the lives of thousands of proud Norlanders;

but there is fire in our hearts yet! Steady on, comrades, and FORWARD!"

-Gareth Errmark I, bearing the banner of red and black; of great Norland!

Jevan walks through the piles of dead bodies, a smile on his face after cutting down the remaining Orenians with his Norlandic Brothers.

"Norland will Always remember what happened at Seahelm"

Ethel Serene looks through the battlefield on her horse with her Rangers at her side. She lowers her bow after a long battle finally feeling the battle has ended. She see's the Norlanders she fought alongside of keeping absolutely silent and giving a nod of respect to them for their valiant efforts before looking down to her Rangers and commanding "Oren has rightfully felt the Ranger's touch of malice on this day! Let us ride home to Castle Thornwood and prepare for the battles to come!"

"Iron from ice." Murmurs a lich, sulking about the Norlandic tavern,

Owen remembers how the first wave of Coalition were easily broken, and how only the second wave of heavily armoured units managed to defeat Oren and Urguan.

"Remind yourself that they are the aggressors seeking to destroy our way of life. Give these fools no quarter." states Aeternius who was unable to attend the defense lines within Haense.
