Continuing Defense

[Wizry 418]

 

"Inaction is atrophy; inaction is paralysis; inaction is death." 

- Ferdinand Foch

 

During the months following up to the siege, the Nevaehlen Isle would find themselves and their forces gathering resources from the mainland using a pontoon bridge - specifically from the forest directly out to the east. Wood was gathered to deny the enemy resources to be able to create siege equipment to cross the bridge itself or harm the city.

 

It was then agreed on by those on the isle to burn the forests to deny them cover, to deny them the capacity of potentially using anything leftover, and to provide the defenders even more an advantage over their foe.

 

Furthermore, the defense council agreed to also blow an potential outpost to deny them a capacity of access.

"Burn, little wood, and may your ashes feed your next of kin," spoke the Buzzard, sorrow held only in his eyes for the burning wood.

 

"We will replenish when peace returns. For now, to the Boar's side; To victory."
