Siege of Horderacht Isle
Posted by Apostate on 05/09/21
Following a conflict with the shav tribe known as Clan Horderacht, House Redreef led a force to successfully wipe the tribe from the face of the earth. Horderacht Isle, an island to the north of Redreef Shores, was attacked by a force containing warriors from Houses Redreef, Blackshore, Darkwater, Stormblood, Eswynd, and Thrax. Together, these allies routed Horderacht and slaughtered them, with House Redreef laying claim to Horderacht Isle.
Sailors and soldiers who participated in the fight speak well of the most prominent participants in the siege and the medical triage efforts afterward: Baroness Ember Redreef, Lady Helewise Redreef, Lady Nimue Redreef, Martinique Barlinnie, Zoya Kotov, Lord Aedric Blackshore, Lord Romulius Blackshore, Lord Dycard Blackshore, Lady Quinley Blackshore, Lady Azova Darkwater, Baroness Scylla Stormblood, Lord Haakon Eswynd, Lady Medeia Eswynd, Princess Coraline Thrax, and Princess Natasha Thrax.
Still, those same sailors and soldiers also tell strange stories from the events of the siege: that a ship containing Isles diplomats was captured by Horderacht and then released, to set sail for Hazy Lagoon; that Baroness Ember seemed to attack her own family in a rage; that Princess Natasha disappeared for a time, only to reappear within Zamok Horderacht, the island's castle; and that Stepan, the leader of Clan Horderacht, challenged Lord Romulius to an honor duel, which was accepted, and that after Stepan defeated Romulius, Lord Haakon -- prodigal savage that he is -- violated the terms of the duel by interfering and killing Stepan.
When all is said and done? There's one less Abandoned tribe in the Mourning Isles.
