Episode: The Battle of Pridehall
Posted by Story on 02/14/17
With Grayson and Lycene troops holding the center, the forces of the Compact waited patiently for the thousands upon thousands of shavs led by Bringers of Silence to cross the ford, an inhuman quiet over the shav forces, with no shouts, no battle cries, no beating of drums, nothing but the eerie silence as their ranks form for battle. As the last of the shavs cross the ford, they advance steadily, intent on smashing the Grayson and Lycene lines in front of them.
As Grayson and Lycene forces meet the shavs head on, it becomes clear that bringers are in the minority, and many soldiers thank the Pantheon for it. Few of the bringers can be identified- it seems only the minority are pale and tall, and many look like normal men- and are only identified after they grab soldiers and tear them apart with their bare hands, often laughing as they do so. As the Grayson and Lycene lines are fully engaged, House Redrain attacks from the North with withering archery fire, and the Oathlands finally make their charge, with Prince Edain leading thundering cavalry into the heart of the shav battlelines that wheel to meet him.
