10th of Malin’s Welcome, 176 S.A
The Silver Crusade announces its first victory over the demonic forces of Iblees. With the Necromancer, the Vicar, summoning a demon from the hells to Sylvan Duchy, the Crusaders rallied towards the defence of the Canonist flock.
On the 10th day of Snow's Maiden, 176 S.A, In the twilight hours of the day, 210 crusaders stood upon the walls of the Duchy of Brabant, manning cannons and ballista, awaiting the attack of the beast. And so it did attack. A large bestial demon, with three hound’s heads spewing malflame corrupted the land it stepped upon as it neared the walls, matching them in height.
The Crusaders unleashed a barrage of cannon and ballista shots, dealing crucial damage. The well-armoured warriors were unaffected by the beast’s blasts of demonic flame. And continued to rain down fury upon it.
Once one of the demon’s heads was obliterated, it became enraged and stood up the walls, grabbing whoever it could with its mouth to devour. Though miraculously all, save one, avoided the attack. With this, the demon fell back into the woods to recover.
The Silver Crusade shall reorganise and finish off this demon for the sake of the people of Aevos.
We thank the pontiff for blessing and affirming our cause and righteous warriors. It is with this that the morale of our people improved allowing us to maintain cohesion in the face of loss, grief and adversity.
We also thank the families and the individuals who are battling against evil, at their own peril.
His Grace, Ser Sterling Blaxton-Whitewood,
Duke of Brabant, Marquis of Lotusgrad, Baron of Blackwell, Lilenburg and Swan’s Keep, Lord of the Peaks, Protector of the Weefolk.
