Malgonious 2758 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2022 The Sacking of Elysium “We shall beat upon their walls like a drone upon a drum.” -Ar-Borok "The Brown" Akaal, Rex of the Iron’Uzg To any Uruk at the time, another Elysium act of dishonor was never in short supply. These people hadn’t given up their anti-uruk ways, even after several raids and skirmish defeats sustained throughout the course of this ongoing war. You would think being so badly beaten one might learn truth from error. But not these humans. Not Elysium. When the combined WAGH of the Horde reached their opponent, they found them barricaded like sheep within their puny walls. Upon their battlements they found only three capable trebuchets to counter the massive siege engines they brought with them for this legendary assault. The combined might of the Horde looked up to see their task on this glorious day, The Sack of Elysium. It was a city of vile inhabitants that required liberation by the hands of the Horde. Seeing the faces of the defenders all but ensured victory was within reach. The WAGH began preparing the camp for the night. Mighty siege engines of stone lobbers designed and engineered by Clan Ruk, for who else would know various methods to throw rocks at their foe, were fixated right upon the walls of Elysium. They were hastily assembled by goblin siege engineers supplied by Clan Raguk. They picked a hill overlooking the walls of Elysium. Some of these trebuchets were aimed at the lord's keep where the last stand would likely be witnessed. Bronze Elves and High Elves had begun distributing rations, a true logistical achievement implemented after supply lines were stretched in their previous skirmish. Goblins began to bang upon their drums in eerie rhythm, signaling the upcoming onslaught that was about to ensue. At dawn, on the 8th of Sun’s Smile, 76th Year, 2nd Age, the opening volleys of the Horde’s rock lobbers struck the walls of Elysium. Elysium returned in suit with their own crushing storm of boulders towards their trebuchets. Their enemy had gotten the upper hand with their volley knocking out three of their trebuchets. Some appeared to be too hastily assembled as they crumbled apart with the first volley hardly scratching the engine. It would appear that some had malfunctioned as well. The Uruk returned fire, raining down a consistent barrage of stones upon the walls. They would see a corner chunk flail from the adjacent tower that it held. A potential opening… The barrage of Elysium would once more strike another trebuchet, goblins screaming in agony as they were crushed. One of the only casualties of this WAGH so far… The Horde returned fire, raining another crushing storm of rocks down upon the walls of Elysium. A thundering boom would be heard as the Rex rallied the main axe outward from the war camp. Massive ladders were smashed up against the now broken corner of the wall by Hogo Bojo III. He would signal for the Horde to push up. Goblins would begin streaming upward as the central axe began to storm outward from the camp. This was their entrance, their ticket in. The Horde surged forward from the camp, all of them eager to climb the tower and claim the lives of those within. Malgunuz could be seen rallying the right flank of goblin engineers and straggling uruk along the right-side of the wall. Meanwhile Prince Kosher Daesmon rallied the remaining scouts and elven vanguard on the left-side of the wall.. The Rex would walk forward climbing his way over the walls with his forces, leading the charge over the wall with the Horde at his back. It was time to finish the fight. *** With the defenders completely and utterly crushed, the day had been won by the Horde. 57 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pancho 2498 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Prince Kohser Daesmon would look over the city, silently watching as the city he once called home was ransacked by Uruk Forces. He would slowly walk through the streets, seeing the carnage of soldiers all over, some even of his own sword. As the ‘ame prince approached the Gardens of Elysium, he would stop in front of the grave of his late husband, who died fighting for the nation he was now fighting against. “I’m sorry Brian, but you would understand why I had to do this when you look at what it’s become.” The young Prince would turn and mount his steed, riding through the city to gather the scattered Glaiveguard forces. The last seen of him in the aftermath was him leading a column of Amaethean troops out of the city, and back towards Caras y Tennallar. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunkPapaBear 1975 Share Posted May 15, 2022 The Rex smiles, for the day was won once more. The first siege of Elysium was won. The Horde rose in a tidal wave of Blood, washing over the sins of the Elysians. Those who learned how to swim survived, the rest drowned. The Plan was in motion. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteppeNomad 1552 Share Posted May 15, 2022 ONCE more did those BRAVE HOPLITES. The BEAUTIFUL truly enlightened elves gather for their symposium. They share tales of Kleos and Glory, of their finest moments of the battle, and the war in general! All salt wages have been paid, and wine bought. "I dedicate this VICTORY! To Kezt!" He smiles, that elven Hero Pamphilos. Popping an olive into his mouth. "Well lads? Lets hit the BATHS!" 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
