Rank and file
streamed behind and rushed like swarms of bees
pouring out of a rocky hollow, burst on endless burst,
bunched in clusters seething over the first spring blooms,
dark hordes swirling into the air, this way, that way –
so the many armed platoons from the ships and tents
came marching on, close-file, along the deep wide beach
to crowd the meeting grounds.

- Homer, the Iliad



Old Vorar's Castle holds a small garrison of Asrakosian legionaries.

It is all that stands between the forces of Cor Votum and Astrakhan.

While war has not yet been declared, the garrison stands at the ready to defend their homeland.

Yet, fear lurks in their hearts as they gaze into the depths of the black forests, wondering what evil men dwell there...

Will the free men of Astrakhan rebuke the cold hand of Skraag?

Or will they be snuffed out like so many before them?



OOC: This is the first event of the Bloodied Fords Arc. It is semi-private in the sense that this event isn't open to all characters (though future events will be!)
However, if you'd like to take part in some of that sweet, sweet siege-warfare action, then let me or Kosta know and you can volunteer as a soldier and be prepped on the system of CRP we're using (it's not at all difficult to understand)!

Post here or contact us on discord if you're interested in volunteering!

This is tomorrow. There is also a major change: if you want your character to show up as impromptu attackers or defenders you’re welcome to do so!

The legionaries fought bravely and ferociously as the forces of Skraag came over the walls.

Yet the strength of the enemy was too great and after much martyrdom, the garrison was overwhelmed.

Those who were not killed were taken prisoner, and those who were not taken prisoner fled to Astrakhan as despair followed them as darkly as the waters of the rivers they so frantically followed.

As news of their defeat reached the city, the hearts of the Asrakosians were filled with fear.

Not since the Royalist Civil War had enemies been so close to the city.

A grim silence blanketed the land as people left the streets and shuttered their homes in mourning.

Many citizens now wonder what will the fate of their beloved home will be...

OOC: Thanks for coming everyone! This was big fun- and it's only just begun!
