Posted by Story on 01/15/17
Word reaches Arx of a battle about a day's travel north of the city. Fifteen hundred iron guard soldiers that had turned renagade and abandoned the city of Arx to join their swords to the growing shav forces were caught by forces under the overall command of Duke Gabriel Bisland. In what they are now calling the Battle of Whitewood, the Iron Guard traitors were pinned against the White Mountain River in a grassy clearing that allowed them to be surrounded by the forces of different houses, a deadly stretch of land choosen with care by Duke Gabriel Bisland as the battlefield. Grayson and Lycene forces under Duke Gabriel and Lady Calypso approached from the west, Redrain forces under the command of Prince Darren, Prince Anze and Princess Deva Redrain held the line to the North, and Thrax and Darkwater forces under Lord Victus Thrax and Prince Ainsley Grayson hit them in the rear. Prince Darren Redrain, according to all reports, in particular performed brilliantly- his cavalry charge breaking lines at a crucial moment that resulted in a general rout.
