Following their respective debacles in the spring the Orcs and their allies were in full retreat, hotly pursued by their foes…. The Army of Tria Nomina retired to their capitol of Praenomen. The Army of Valishog retired to the captured Dwarven mountain fortress of Toctglenn. The warhost of Grummsh retreated towards Otisburg.
The Battle of Praenomen
The Army of Tria Nomina retired to their capitol where they rallied to defend their capitol from the Elves.
The Legions of Tria Nomina assemble before the very gates of Praenomen to face the Elvish host that beset them!
The Elvish war host marches towards the city of Praenomen.
Plagued by internal communication troubles the main battle line of the Elves stood for nearly an hour as the drilled legions of Tria Nomina marched across the plateau south of the city.
A small skirmish developed in the woods to the east of the plateau
The main lines clashed – the impetus of the Tria Nominian legions shoved the entire elf line back across the south end of the plateau. Though a squadron of cavalry was lost in a hail of Elvish arrows, the line surged forward again.
O the right of the Tria Nominian line the Elvish archers were smashed along with a unit of Elvish Heavy infantry, but at the other end of the line The Elvish cavalry had opened up hole in the line by destroying a unit of Auxiliary spearmen! Victory still hung in the balance.
The Legions of Tria Nomina were the quickest to exploit their advantage and flanked the personal guard of the Elvish General himself and drove them from the field….
The Elves were forced to retire and marched back to cognomen.
Meanwhile, further to the east at Toctglenn… the mangled, but no less ruthless, Vlad Kinslayer, carried on a litter by his most loyal lieutenants, rallied his army about him and tried to make sense of what had happened and where the opposing armies had gone.
Briefly it was thought that both The Elves and Ronarokings had marched together to Praenomen. Vlad quickly tried to organize a march back to Cognomen – hoping to take the city behind them and possibly cut off any retreat should the army of Tria Nomina prevail! However this was not to be – as they marched from Toctglenn outriders reported the army of Ronorok, more than double their current numbers, was marching up into the mountains after them!
Realizing it was futile to meet them in the field of battle, Vlad left a garrison at Toctglennn to try and hold the fortress and harass the Ronorokings while the Army of Valishog slipped back through the passes to Dolj.
The Ronarokings invested the Old Dwarven fortress and the siege carried on throughout the summer.
The Warhost of Grummsh retired straight through Otisburg and on to their capitol of Marrow, leaving the pursuing Saphists to besiege the new fortress they themselves had begun to build the previous year… The Warhost was far too weakened to face the Sapphists on the field of battle again. Their hope was that a siege might buy them time until the winter when they could recruit and train some fresh meat…
The siege, however, was short. Having built most of the current fortifications at Otisburg themselves they knew exactly where the secret entrance was…. So completely surprised was the garrison of Orcs, one wonders if they themselves had even been aware of said secret entrance… Ready or not the Grummsh would be fighting for the survival of their land come fall...
