The aged Rhys grumbles, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” The young prince Marius raises an eyebrow at the news. “This is something I might look into,” he would start to pen a letter to hos father.

The aged Rhys nods in approval.

Rhys var Ruthern sits in his study, pondering over the news of the Emperors departure from Atlas. “I’ve had the honor of fighting against and along side his Imperial Majesty, my loyalty to the empire shall continue under Augustus till my dying day.” The aged warrior sets down his quill realizing how old hes become. Prince Marius looks up to his father Robert, “Whats Aeldin?”

Dearest, Parents I’ve been promoted to Colonel of 1st Massachusetts Artillery regiment under Major Charles L. Peirson. It seems General Hooker has taken a liking to me and saw that I was given a position to suit my talents. I’ve poured my time into studying the art of war, and Napoleon's tactics used in his conquest of Europe. I hope to live up to the General expectations of me. I’m going to be stationed in boston for the time being, until the forts are constructed. I’ll be sure to visit Uncle Henry when I get the chance as well. And mother, I think you would be happy to hear I’ve met a girl, her name is Sophia and works at the local hospital as a nurse. I’ve even started to court her in my off time, and I hope you both get to meet her. I miss you both dearly, but I know I’m making you proud. Your Son, Alexander

Orders from the newly formed Commonwealth Military, his regiment is to report Boston at once. He quickly rallied his militiamen making sure they wore their best uniforms, and set off for headquarters. Once they arrived, Alexander saw militias from all over the Commonwealth setting camp outside of Boston. Most of it was disorderly, hardly the sight of a well trained military, However, Alexander his regiment set up camp in rows of tents, assigning each soldier a duty and posted sentries something the other militias rarely did. ‘This will be the start of something great,’ he thought to himself as he observed the camp. Just like the heroes of the revolution, they started as simple militiamen.

Rhys is more impressed at the speed this man has written these posts, then the contents themselves.

Rhys smiles as he learns of the newly formed order, “In the Name of God.”

o7 It was a honor Mr Blago, just stay in touch.

Rhys reads over the declaration, “Hmph, if only they did this in the first place we could have stopped this war.”

“They are fools if they can think you can cross Ruthern so easily and live,” Rhys smiles. “Poor fools don’t know what they’re getting into.”

Rhys nods in approval

“The Red Vaeyl are broken amd scattered, only Serris and a few of her followers hide from us,” Rhys replies to Ronin.

Siege of Last Hope Men of the Empire storm the battlements of Last Hope, 1692 Banners from across the Empire flew in the blizzard, as an alliance of men and elves rally in the valley. Before them stood the fortress of Last Hope, the Red Vaeyl’s stronghold. Trebuchets lead by Brog Dhoon, and Marshal Henrik Kovachev get into position to assault the fortress while Rhys var Ruthern rallies the Infantry at the base of the valley. On the battlement vaeyl knights line the walls motionless, then fire lights up the sky as hundreds of flaming arrows fly into the ranks of the alliance below. “Shields!” Rhys yells, as the ranks of men and elves hide behind their shields the trebuchets fire at Last Hopes gate. In a stroke of luck, the third shot smashes into the gate, creating a breach. “Charge!” The host of men and elves surge forward into the breach, meeting a legion of Red Vaeyl on the other side, while the imperial trebuchets pound the walls of Last Hope. Bitter room to room melee takes place within the walls of Last Hope. Those poor men who were separated was picked off one by one. The main forces met the remaining Red Vaeyl within great hall. The Vaeyl attempted one last devastating counterattack, to drive the Alliance forces back. As the fighting died down, it became clear the Vaeyl had been annihilated. The halls of Last Hope fell silent, but the celebration is cut short as the wall itself starts to consume Last Hope. The Alliance army was forced to flee the crumbling castle, watching as a small band of Red Vaeyl flee west. “The fights nie’ over yet...” Rhys motions remaining men to follow him as the chase the Vaeyl west. Word spreads quickly across Atlas of the victory at Last Hope. With the Red Vaeyl stronghold now in the descendant’s hands, they march to seize the remaining castle of Endmoor held by the Red Vaeyl. However, rumors begin to spread that the vaeyl unleashed something the darkways...

Rhys nods in approval, “We need more men like this.”
