SIEGE OF THE LAST HOPE

15th of the Harren’s Folley, 1691

The Wall of Atlas, as depicted by an unknown artist, c. 1653.

 

---

The men huddled around a dying fire, they had been stuck in that godforsaken camp for countless Saint’s months. The constant blizzard had made the ice feel like daggers against the skin. The tattered banners of the former Brotherhood of Saint were pulled from their poles in the strong winds. Most of the original garrison had succumbed to frostbite, leaving only but a handful of old veterans and  fresh recruits to guard the gateway to the Last hope.

 

For eight long years, the men of Haense have guarded against the Vaeyl from the Crow’s Nest, a camp built not too far from the Vaeyl stronghold of Last Hope. The situation seems hopeless, provisions are running low and no relief force has been sent in months. Then a shout is heard from one of the guard towers, then a bell rings through the camp.

The Crow’s Nest.

The galloping of horses, the black and purple banners, the soldier’s chant. The entirety of the Empire’s forces had marched westward, joining the camp. Only a few moons had passed since the Siege of Arberrang.

Riders clad in tabards from across the Empire now ride with haste to Last Hope making up the vanguard. Behind them marches a column of the Imperial Legion alongside the proud Haensetain Royal Army. Bringing up the rearguard was the imperial siege weapons, brought to bring the walls of Last Hope crashing down.

The proud elephant skull banners of the Kingdom of Gladewynn are held aloft. Soldiers garbed in black steel adorned with horned and skeletal appearing helmets began their march across the continent in their caravans, ready to fight the mutual enemy of Elf and Man together with their allies. The Red Vaeyl would be brought to justice for their crimes against the newly arrived peoples of Atlas, and this war would define the future of the descendants – potentially even their survival.
