Chronicles of the Fateful Battle of 282 S.A.

Guard’s Watchpoint: Gibrâltar, 282 S.A.

 

---

It was the eve of the 5th of the Deep Cold in the year of 282 S.A. when Tar-Pharazôn departed from the High City of Alduun. Word had reached the Idunian High-King that the Guard’s distant watchpoint on Gibrâltar lay under siege of a yet-unknown enemy, and that the situation was dire. A Templar-Justiciar of Saint Malchediael, the Arthalion monarch saw it fit to lead this charge himself, to show that any and all uprisings would be crushed with an iron fist. And though scouts confirmed that both sides were evenly numbered following his arrival, it was perhaps what he saw that left him in shock.

Five betrayers, among them four ancestral warriors of Numendil, charged into the fortress with a payload of volatite. And though the appearance of those four may have been shocking to him, it was ultimately the sight of his very own brother, Adûnakhôr, that must have left him unable to act.

Though the Magister of Artifai, Iudas, fought by his side, and the Idunian defenders remained stalwart in their defense, all was futile in the end.

As Adûnakhôr’s blade struck Pharazôn with Azhl anemia, leaving him unable to heal, the former Lord-Commander Amadeus Menelwen saw his chance and knocked the Tar to the ground. The first line of defense had been broken, and the attackers made sure to overwhelm the next. It was a brutal slaughter, one Idunian after the other falling to the old ones’ wrath, as the explosive payload continued to make its way through the once-bastion.

In the end, the Guard’s Watchpoint fell, with much time to spare for the betrayers to set up new defenses.

 

Though the Templar-King’s spirit was not easily shaken. Immediately after his reinforcements arrived, Pharazôn returned the attack. Attempting to move his own payload to destroy the betrayers’ defenses, the Idunian troops ultimately failed to even reach the first gate. Not once did they manage to wipe defending troops, and in the end the efforts were called off. Pharazôn was left to bleed, and his legacy with him. Perhaps he had been too competitive, when his real place was in quick battles.

When I told you I was a Zenyatta OTP and you said "Lets queue up ranked and I'll show you how good I am at Overwatch" did you expect to lose 3 games in a row?
