[DwarvenDaddy 180]

The Göthan Ram’s Brigade devisating the left Norlandic flank in a valiant charge led by count Eimar I

 

“Men of Götha! Rally to your King, rally to your Banner, rally to your Count!” - Eimar var Burgundar as he charged alone per horseback towards the Norlanders.

 

 

1661, 9th of Grande Harvest, dawn; King’s Renatian Legions marched the right falk of the Northern Atlas Alliance. On the far right, young count Eimar var Burgundar, first of his name, led a 1700 man Göthan detachment ‘The Rams Brigade’.

 

1661, 9th of Grande Harvest, early noon; The two armies clashed on fields near The Forkwoods. The heavily outnumbered Norlanders on the left flank gained a false feeling of hope as small bands of warriors, ignoring command, rushed into the Norlandic lines seeking glory and fame in battle, only to be cut down by hostile blades and friendly arrows.

 

Lines formed, stalemate began. The two armies were done skirmishing, their cavalries exhausted. The N.A.A. ordered their men to hold the line as arrows rained down upon the U.S.A.

“T’e skois, t’ey turned black, t’ey dids! T’e amount of arrows t’at as bein’ losed upon t’em non-believers was uncountable..” - An Dwarven Soldier remarking the superb cohesion of the infamous Northern Archers.
 

The horns of war roared across the battlefield as thousands of troops started to walk forwards. The U.S.A lines shivered in fear as the superior numbers showed themselves in a never ending line. A line deeper then their center, a line longer then their dreams. The lines clashed around noon in a brutal stalemate.

It was here where the Protector of the Southlands came rushing out of his flank, shouting at his men. The Rams Brigade quickly pushed through the lines of the Renatian Legionaries after their count into a bold charge, spearheading the orders.

 

“He ist our count, our protector, zhe heart of Gözzha. Zhe Ram of Vhite Peak!” - Ser Siegfried var Wettin-Eisenach III when asked who led the spearhead.

 

This Göthan led charge was quickly followed up by the main force of the King’s Renatian Legionaries, leading to a quick and decisive defeat on the N.A.A. right flank. From that point it turned into a slaughters as the N.A.A. right poured into the sides of the remaining U.S.A.

Causing a mass route and yet another decisive victory.
