The Battle of the East Road ends



  • _For two weeks, the defenders of Jiyyd held the outer defenses against the full might of the N'Jast confederation. Hirelings and ballista fodder were thrown against their works in increasingly great numbers, and still they held.

    A daring mission led by General Grag and the mages Ronan and Rerith brought death and flame into the Ormpur base itself, lighting up the sky with a massive blast.

    Finally, though, the line fell, breached by a flanking attack down the cliffs to the north and a kamikaze keg-carrying giant. Through this breach rushed the now dreaded N'Jast cavalry and the first sight of the new, terrifying weapon… Armatures.

    Driven from the East Line, Lyte reluctantly orderd the fields set ablaze as prepared, and withdrew with the bodies of the fallen to Jiyyd.

    There, a miracle is said to have occured, with the the upper planes returning many of the slain to life with some sacrifice.

    With the East Line fallen, Jiyyd prepares for a final stand... the odds look grim, but some hopefully point out that N'Jast has taken massive casualties and isn't even in Jiyyd yet._
