Episode: Shattered Peace
Posted by Story on 12/20/22
It has perhaps felt like an age of bloodshed since the war in the Mourning Isles had started properly. In that time, the tides have turned against the traditionalists after a series of narrowly lost battles and failed sieges. Eswynd's brutal raids on Dredcall lands, along with the capture of their most acclaimed commander, Isar Dredcall in battle, have prompted the leaders of the House to draw back temporarily to recuperate and appease the masses.
A narrow victory from the loyalists in the defence of the Tydelands forced a retreat or "tactical withdrawal" from the attacking rebel houses. A more decisive victory against Grimkin ended with the death of Marquis Grimkin at the hands of Duke Valdemar Grimhall and the death of Prince Dagon Thrax (formerly Duke Dagon Tyde) - the claimant for the seat of High Lord - by the arrow of Dacian Krosse, allowing Prince Jasher Thrax to reclaim the Sword of Thrax, Reafian. Grimkin's March has been retaken by the loyalists while the rebels allied with Grimkin fled on their remaining ships.
Naturally the traditionalists have taken this series of failures to reconsider their options. There are whispers that a not insignificant number of houses have been contemplating "re-opening negotiations".
