Episode: Shattered Peace

Posted by Story on 09/25/22
A report comes from Arx, penned by Scholar Timofey Navegant once again:

"A formidable battle took place outside of Stormward where House Kennex rallied to meet the rebel forces hoping to drive them back to their keep. Their allies stood with them, fleets from Houses: Darkwater, Grimhall, Saik, Thrax, Malespero, Blackshore, Telmar, and Igniseri, as well as the Isles Canines.

They were faced with ships sailing the flags of Nightcove and Greywalke and, much to my sorrow, House Navegant. Lord Arseny Greywalke commanded the fleet of his house in place of his late father, who was lost in the battle for Eswynd Rock. Lord Waylan once again sailed for House Nightcove. And Marquis Turo, as well as Lord Dewy, sailed in command of their respective armies.

Lord Wash Kennex, a sailor with few peers, is primarily credited with an opening gambit that was so successful it set the stage for the rest of the encounter.

Traditionalists across the Mourning Isles have expressed surprise to see Lady Tesha Telmar commanding a fleet, and even more to the degree of capability she displayed. Her prowess at sea is associated with loyalists maintaining an advantage at a critical time in the battle.

Rumors are circulating from House Navegant of a madman that rushed Lord Dewy's ship, fought his way past numerous well-armed soldiers, and broke into the galley's hold to begin releasing thralls.

Single-handedly.

They say it was Champion and Liberator Caspian Wild that dared such a feat. But no one stopped and asked him for his name at the time, too stunned were they by the man's nerves."
