[Skanarri Eventline] The March to the Sea

The March to the Sea

---

 

The sounds of weaponry being sharpened and distributed was heard throughout the village of Nueva Tierra, the new Capital of the Skanarri tribes. High Chieftain Argos walked about the village as he usually did, examining the state of his tribal forces. Before long, his long time friend Grejon approached him with a broad smile upon his face.

 

"What news do ye bring, my old friend?" Argos asked as Grejon drew nearer, extending his arm to the man.

 

Grejon took Argos' hand and went to put his arm around his shoulder, the pair walking around the village as Grejon began to speak "We've built three Catapults and a battering ram, we should be ready to attack Varhelm within the next few months." 

 

"We aren't going to attack Varhelm yet." The old Chieftain said calmly, prompting Grejon to stop in his tracks "What do ye mean? Are we not here teh take Norland by storm?" The Skanarri questioned, turning to face Argos "If we don't strike Varhelm, where do we strike then?"

 

Argos laughed as he began to walk to the east side of the village, then raising his hand and pointing outwards towards the snow covered hills. "Just a mile to our east lies a castle of Stone, it sits right above the middle of the road between Elysium and Varhelm. I want ye teh take a hundred and fifty men in a warband and take the castle by storm. If ye are successful, we will have access teh Norlandic trade routes and the sea, meaning we can finally contest Norlandic naval dominance."

 

Grejon said nothing for a moment, letting Argos' plan settle in his mind before nodding "I understand, I'll move out within a month or two." After speaking, Grejon turned and went into the village to begin the assembly of a warband capable of taking the Norlandic castle. The sound of cheers and warcries could be heard afterwards, and Argos knew that this battle would be one of the most important during the early stages of the war in the North. If his tribal army was victorious, it would pave the way for a Skanarri victory. If the Norlandic forces were victorious, he knew he would need to prepare for the defense of Nueva Tierra. Either way, Argos knew in his mind as well as all other Skanarri,

 

The March to the Sea had began.

Vane looks out from the walls of Varhelm, watching as the warband began its march towards the Lunner keep. "So, their invasion has begun." he let out a sigh before turning to Vorne @Malgonious"Prepare the banners, call the Northguard, the Rangers, the Knights of Leumont." he demanded "Summon the navy, have the ships ready to depart!" he banged his fists on the railings "summon the engineers, have our weapons of war prepared!" he continued on "let loose the aviary, send birds to Krugmar, Urguan, Haense, and all the rest!" he said turning about, the fire of the All-Father burning in his eyes "They think we are afraid of them, but they have yet to know that wrath of Norland."
