The Siege of Breakwater Keep

The Siege of

Breakwater Keep

The 11th of Sun Smile, 1953

 

 

 

 

When the open sky,
Alit with cannonfire,
Smoke fogged clean air.

 

Dense metal balls,
After fiercem calls,
The tree splintered in two.

 

Then hell rained forth,
Showered stone and dirt.
Death was no longer subdued.

 

Men were blasted from battlements,
Arrows struck both foes and friends. 
The smell of blood spread like wildfire.

 

Walls were blown to pieces,
Shards of glass littered the trenches.
The precision that has been sired.

 

And all of Veletz cowarded behind their walls!
They were all lacking the balls!
Ignorant and Obtuse, the arrogance of this Brood!

 

When keep was laid to rubble,
They knew they had faltered and stumbled.
They had surely lost this feud.

 

And the Coalition charged in with their steel.
With every ounce of honor, courage and zeal.
And erased such a hideous blot! 

 

Victory was ours to claim this day,

Glory to Godan he made a way.

Guided this fierce, loyal lot.

 

SIGNED,

Marius Lovetts

*Onon, the haenseni elf  helping with one of the Cannons saluted letting out a* "KRUSAE ZWY KONGZEM!" *Taking of the very much so hates keep was to be celebrated... After all of the Adrian's or orcish corpses were fed to the lifestoke, and his kin's alongside his comrades burned that is. Now only to see if he can show his comanders the economics value on things... Also making a note to NOT jump on multiple horsemen even with a pike. Mistakes were made but Hey gotta have fun in life right?*

"A most stellar retelling!" Gottfried grinned, recalling the great view from up top the ruined ramparts.

A pale elf cleaned her blade, having cremated the last corpse of the slain, each being given a short bow and solemn prayer to no god in particular. Many had died in this fight, and all of the dead deserved their last rites, no matter what side of the war they were on.

Sir Theoderic von Theonus read through the poem while smiling from ear to ear. He would show off his squire's work to anyone he could find in the streets of Vallagne.  "This will be the first of many such poems! Just you wait and see." After some time he'd fold the paper and put it away.

A young Freysson cracks a smile. Despite having no memory of a siege even happening, he still feels some sense of pride. Whether that be for his people, or the artillery strikes he lacks memory of doing, it doesn't matter. "That's one victory. Now, let the dominoes fall."

Húrin finds this rendition of the battle most spectacular, instead of throwing that paper unto a ball is it that he framed it, slowly calling over a retainer so he may place it upon his chambers in an elegant way.

"Wonderful."
