Never A Defeat

“For Mountain Dwarves you spend a lot of time underground.”

Marshal Gror Ireheart to the craven Silverveins, 11th of Amber Cold, 1654

 

As the sun set upon the northern lands, the oath breaker Silverveins gathered upon their walls. Their sneers and jeers penetrated the virgin land they had so brutally disfigured with their simplistic structures. As the host of Kaz’Ulrah soldiers arrived, Clan Lord Hamnil Frostbeard, High Ambassador Garrond Frostbeard and Marshal Gror Ireheart warned the Silverveins that their actions would not go without punishment. To break the oath Edel Silvervein made to High King Verthaik II Frostbeard was one of the greatest sins a dwarf could commit, but Gror’s reasoning was met with only insults, as the ‘victim’ Silverveins began to sharpen their arrows, and took aim at their kin from Kaz’Ulrah; the Kingdom that had allowed their clan to take shape.

 

“When they laid in bed with the elves, they betrayed all Dwedmar. Their oath breaking comes as no surprise to me.” Hamnil said to Gror as he raised his shield, a crooked Silvervein arrow bouncing off it.

 

As Gror raised his hand, the soldiers behind him swiftly raised their shields, prepared for the arrow volley that came from the dark depths of the Silvervein fort. As the volley continued, the sharpshooters from behind the shield wall began returning fire, knocking down anyone they shot at. As the defenders numbers began to dwindle, Gror urged his force foreward, only to be met by the familiar sound of a shut gate and the scuttling of feet as the ‘brave’ defenders fell back into their ratholes. Turning around, Gror’s ears were deafened by the roar of his fellow clansmen, the famed Ireheart archer Farddak.

 

“FLANK.”

 

As the surprised Kaz’Ulrah warriors turned, the wildling humans slammed into them. Caught off guard and surprised, they fought bravely but could not hold the onslaught off. The battle raged up and down the mountainside, as Kaz’Ulrah’s sons battled against the Silvervein’s allies. After hours of vicious battle, the remaining warriors retreated to their nearby camp, handing over a shallow victory to the Northern humans. As they arrived, they were met by the garrison who quickly took them in and tended to their wounds.

 

While the soldiers rested, Gror, Garrond and Hamnil gathered in a nearby tent and began to send out birds, calling for allies of their own to begin tightening the noose around the mountain they had just fought under. Next time there would be no escape for the oath breakers.

"Oi've gottah say that oi wonder how these folk remember anythin' considering how we quite litterally slaughtered them all after they once against after last saint's week attack assaualted the innocent Silverveins and Hammerforges due to Hamnil's desperate attempts to reclaim the kingdom that slipped through his fingers loik sand." -

 

Eimar commented, letting out a huff, before he chuckled 

 

"Wildling humans- isn't it a greater insult to loose against a foe you perceive as intellectually and culturally inferior, that the 'great' forces of the frostbeards could not anticipate a mere flanking action?" We lost but a single man in the whole action yet you lost all of yours due to your mindless arrogance, instead of dealing in diplomacy you resort to mindless violence and play the victim when you loose." 

 

Eimar rolled up the parchment before he tossed it into the fire, scoffing to himself

Aldyth var Burgundar would read over the parchment with a chuckle

"first they call us wildling humans , then call us northern. Im fairly sure both statements are incorrect, we live in the south and are educated enough to the difference between north and south" 

She chuckle softly as moving into the kitchen tossing the parchment into the fire

"I do enjoy these fables from a group who lost all their soldiers today"

Tesel Silvervein just chuckles, crumpling up the frostbeard's latest attempt at propaganda.  "So 'umorous 'ow t'ey try an paint us loike savages, meanwhile our tale 'ad none of t'at tainted venom."  She scoffs as she thinks of how they were treated back in Kaz'Ulrah.  "King Verthaik is fookin dead, ahn we'll not be getting friendleh with the maggots puppetin' es corpse."

Just a reminder that despite this post being made public on the forums, it is not something to be taken into character unless rply told. Meaning if your character died while this event took place, it'd be considered metagaming to use this post and say you "remember" the exact moments leading up to your death.
