critter 2545 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2023 10th of Tov & Yermey | 505E.S ⋅ ───⊱༺⠀☨⠀༻⊰─── ⋅ A first-hand account of events in Aaun and the Midlands on the afternoon and night of the 10th of Tov & Yermey in the Ehr Sigmunda 505. Recorded for the public archives of the Royal Valdev Library. Hand of Henrik Amador, Lord Archivist. AS RECALLED, The Brotherhood rally began in Valdev, at the frontmost gate. It rode out to meet with Waldenians, Hyspians, Haeseni, Balianese, and Petran rallies; united, they rode to the gates of Whitespire, capital of Aaun, where upon finding the gates to the palace shuttered called for their opening. Here the first rumor of Edmund, King of Aaun’s death began. Notable members of the rally included His Majesty, Aleksandr II; Her Majesty, Catherine I; Her Highness, Ramona of Hyspia; Her Highness, Emma Anastasya, Princess Royal of Hanseti-Ruska; Her Highness, Elena Casimira, Princess Royal of Balian; His Holiness, the Pontiff Sixtus VI; and warriors from across Humanity’s righteous realms. At the gates of the Hand of Horen, soldiers climbed through trees and over walls in the hopes of entry before the confirmation of deaths. The first calls of the kings’ death echoed with certainty. A priest emerged with the body of Edmund I; thereafter a procession guided it to a safehouse, presumably for burial preparations. Witnesses further report the body of the Prince of Merryweather seen removed from the palace. Within the Hand of Horen, the united Canonist force stormed its spires. Unknown sighters observed the assailants of the King attempting to flee through the water. One of the interior windows, of green and red glass, facing the Paradisian Throne - had been shattered, though this may not have sustained the sole means of entry. The united Canonist force gave chase through the sea; pursuit eventually reached the nearest Eastern shore, at which point the most vocal of the force called rallying cries from Balian, Hyspia, Hokhmat, and Haense, and for the Church. The Princess Royal of Balian, Elena Casimira, executed the first of the captives. A bannerman of House Ludovar revealed another’s visage to the crowd, though he bore no recognizable face. Thereafter the rallied forces returned to Whitespire, readying at its foremost gate. Orcish warcries began shortly after shuttering it; thereafter Darkspawn and Veletzians arrived, while within the city clergy released printings of the will and testament of Edmund II. Among the enemy ranks, an elf claimed to bear the Pontiff Sixtus VI’s head; thereafter they offered taunts of the Haeseni affiliating with Iblees’ followers, the contradiction of which should be obvious to the historical record. The forces lined the street of Whitespire; Haense and Her allies held their line. A captured goblin, fighting with the Veletz force, received a just execution in the Aaun square; and the conflict resolved with a resolute victory for Hanseti-Ruska, though the tragic and untimely loss of Aaunite life. Further happenings in Aaunite succession and the aftermath as it relates to Hanseti-Ruska will be recorded in this binding for posterity.

He grimaced, pinching his nose shut as he sheathed the weapon. "Aunn will smell of iron and rot for years." 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taken from this world by the scum of this earth." He pushes the giant gates of Hokhmat open as he enters "Retribution will be had. Lanre Cerusil will burn for the sorrow he has brought these people." 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoebe202 644 Share Posted November 26, 2023 A balianite lordling, namely Peter "Teddy" d'Arkent, remained steadfast at the side of his younger brother. Neither had been harmed in the battle, luckily, and so Teddy was content. At least for now. He would certainly have a hell of a time explaining to his parents why his seven-year-old brother had been dragged off to battle alongside him. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_of_losers 1112 Share Posted November 26, 2023 A wizard, Sarah, speaks in reply to one Faeryel, "Happy enough to join in when there's little resistance. Doesn't strike me as someone to fight fair though, the pond scum." She wipes her hands clean using the fabrics of her armour. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
