THE LOOTING OF BALIAN

24th OF Tobias’ Bounty, 1880

 

“We’re taking back our gear!” - Guillaume de Rochefort 

 

Upon the dawn of the evening, a small raiding party consisting of the Princess Victoria Augusta and the Baronet of Rochefort, alongside elven mercenaries, made their way into the barren lands of Atrus within Balian. The city’s structures were full of holes and poor architecture, making perfect entry for the Orenian forces.

 

The city lay empty, of course, the land being known as uninhabitable for many decades due to its lack of culture and poor stewarding of leadership. Nonetheless, the scouting group made its way into the Balian army’s headquarters, another poorly guarded area. As the mercenaries kept guard (for ultimately no one to come), the duo found several unlocked chests in the Balianian armory!

Woe for the poor straggling Duchy, for no one would save them. The group quickly made haste, stealing the entire contents - a whopping 300 sets of weaponry and 15 sets of armor.

 

At the sight of the Orenian scouting group, the Lord Legate Constantin Malenos ran away in fear, fleeing to an underground shack (rumored to be his mistress’s). No one sallied to his support, unfortunately due to the crippling state of Balian.

 

LO, FOR THE BALIAN FORCES HAVE BEEN STRIPPED CLEAN, AND GIVEN BACK TO ITS RIGHTFUL OWNER !

Master of the Forge Depths of Urguan, Norli laughs at the notice. He beckons over one of his many apprentices, "Goodness, ef they think this is a lot, then they must've never seen a proper armory!"

"That's rather unfortunate." Vivienne Anastasie chuckled.

Ottilie Franziska Jazloviecki from their shared chamber turned to her husband and laughed aloud: "The most humorous thing I've heard all week."

Sir Rev Vuiller tilted his head, seeming confused as nothing were missing from their storage or armory... "It seems the child is still playing in his fantasy land.. Like the time he hit his head falling from that tree"

The Dark Emperor looked at the missive, and clenched his fist. “They have not seen the true power of the dark side.” He bid calmly.

"Its alright I'm sure we'll gain what little amount of weapons they were able to slither away with back in the battlefield." remarked Ser Walton.

Baroness Catherine Marie was perplexed by this news. She questioned the lord legate, whom answered with a perplexed "Ran away? I didn't even see anyone spoken of?". Upon further inspection of the Bastion, the armory was untouched. The only other place suspected was one of the offices which was sealed off, with no tampering noted. "I believe my cousin Victoria has been partaking in some recreational medications, along with the people around her".

"It is regrettable to see that Oren's victories in battle have been so lacking that they need try and compensate with propaganda about something as insignificant as this. Whatever keeps the spirits up, I suppose." Karl Barclay mused as he read over the missive. "God willing they'll have something serious to be proud about eventually."

George Obedia would burst out laughing "Well, my quartermastery job surely got easier now!" He then chuckled "Let's all thank Balian for the generous donation" he said, followed by another laugh as he looked upon the hundreds of weapons and sets of armor that was taken from Balian.
