Paitran and Ezirni troops aim to take out elites among the enemy's ranks - quite a few dark elves fall to them
>>1260602
Levos is strengthened by magic - the recent reactivation of the elvish Pillar of Heaven has helped our priests much. He dodges one demon's strike while taking down another, blocking the first one's attack and reposting, a thrust to the neck as a killing blow.

The plate-armored lizardman is surrounded by many foes - Vrita's guards, Nomin's knights,
Gerard and a Guard, Temil. He mutters some words and a thick shadowy cloud appears, disorienting his opponents and masking his movements - having no trouble to see and move in this condition, Ulanxir dashes from one enemy to another, his lance hitting unprotected neck, leg and armpit areas. While all these warriors focus on the humanoid-form Dragon, the orcs begin swarming over the defensive lines of the courtyard.

The enemy's numbers are overwhelming. "Fall back to the assembly hall!" Marshal Jackard Tremas barks, his voice strengthened by magic, as he smashes a demon's face in with his mechanical left hand.
The first defensive line held well, we made the enemy pay dearly for it, but we must fall back in an organized fashion now!

We pull back to the Assembly Hall where barricades are set up and we take up defensive positions. The elvish King, Terruil, is wounded, his knights have been taking heavy losses as have been his griffon riders above.
From the rear gate some reinforcements arrive - mostly dwarves and norsemen, two groups that have been fighting very well together, under the leadership of Commander Baurg of Kasvoeg.

After the initial storm, our defensive lines hold the enemy back well enough for what must've been close to half an hour. The dwarves, norsemen and Ezirni work together in great synergy to hold the right flank, but the left is buckling as the humanoid dragons attack the elves on that front - eventually the order is given to fall back to the throne room as more and more enemies are surging forth.

In the center
>>1261156
>>1261162

>>1261167
>>1261176
The Roggarians and Paitrans are gathered around the Sword of Juras - Anavark himself leads the attack against them, clad in his black plate armour, shadowy magical barriers and large red sword. Alongside him are two Dark Champions - Phoinix Damos, once the Dragoncommander of Roggar and Karfog Skullsplitter, the slayer of General Vance. Phoinix has a shield and sword, while Karfog has his large axe. In the shadows, going in and out of combat, is also Ran-bo, the traitor Commando, his dagger claiming one kill after another.
Behind them is a seemingly endless stream of orcs - black, brown, undead - supported from a range by dark elves.
The lines clash. Anavark and his Champions reap a field of death. Giamel and Mainolf stand against Karfog and Phoinix - they fight with great fury and skill, but these two, greatest of the Dark Champions, are beyond their capabilities. Karfog's axe splits the dwarf's skull after several dark elf arrows had already stuck into him. Mainolf and Phoinix exchange blow for blow, seemingly equal in fighting prowess, but the orc ends the duel with an axe strike in the back of the Baron's head.

Ran-bo finds himself within inches of Lingnu, his dagger ready to cut his former lord's throat, but he's tackled down by Barnabas, who pushes Lingnu back to safety. Ran-bo gets up with a jump, parries one of Barnabas' strikes, dodges another and then plunges his dagger in his opponent's eye.

Meanwhile, Anavark and the Mighty are shaking the very ground with the clash of their swords - the Barbarian King is slowly being pushed back, however. A demon is just about to bring his mace down on the Mighty from the side, but the King of Ezirin is saved by an old friend - the minotaur general, Buflam Domwurd. The two team up against Anavark and for a moment it seems like the tide is turned. Elsewhere things are looking worse for us - the Marshal orders another retreat - this time to the northern Gardens, the Throne Room is being overrun. As our men continue their organized retreat, Basil and Buflam are left among a sea of foes - one tries to attack the minotaur from behind, but is friend turns around in time and returns the favour from earlier - back to back, they try to fight their way out, but the enemies are too many. Looking around himself, the old minotaur grunts, shoves the Mighty away, towards friendly soldiers and jumps into the enemy ranks alone. One after another he takes down orcs and demons, dark elves and undead, but they are too many - his fur is burned by fire blasts,arrows are sticking out over his body and yet he still fights, giving it his all. An invisible hand lifts him up into the air as Anavark slowly walks towards him, choking him with his magic - the minotaur's poleaxe is on the ground and he's running out of air and yet still he tries to extend his arms forward, trying to grab...the...Dragon...and...punch.....
The heavy body falls to the ground, lifeless.

You stand on the front, fighting on and on. You see many comrades fall beside you, but you musth old the line still!

>>1261843
Baric and the Knights of Mor move forward to intercept the Dragon God. They land many hits on him, one even breaking through his magical barrier and hitting his plate armor, pushing him back a few inches.
"I've no time for games anymore!"
The Dark Champions move in as well - Karfog Skullsplter takes down Ernam, once a simple herbalist; Phoinix Damos kills Spogir, who was a mason. Anavark overwhelms Urvog's wards - he was never too good at them, he only learned to read when he was reborn as a Knight of Mor.
It was just Baric and Anavark. Sword met sword, ward stopped magic, cuts glanced off armor.
>>1261842
While Baric was fighting Anavark, Levos had spotted Ulanxir - determined, he advanced on him and gave his best, strained his mind and body to its fullest, but he could not match his foe's speed and power - the lance swept his feet from underneath him and then stabbed him in the groin, leaving him to writhe in excruciating pain, unable to move. Ulanxir then moved to support his father, getting on Baric's side and doing what he does best - his lance punched through a weaker point of the demon knight's armor at the back of his knee joint, bringing him to the ground. As Anavark raised his sword to impale him and end the life of the last Knight of Mor, Baric remembered, for the first time in centuries, the pretty young lass he once knew and loved, the one whose death left him heartbroken and led him to leave his home and to seek a new one among the dark walls of a town in Eastern Roggar.
>>1261861
You stab an orc in the gut and pull your sword out, letting him fall down. You see the red sword stick into Baric's nape, severing the head from the body.

A hand taps Lingnu's shoulder. She turns around, her face frigthened. A few words are exchanged, she nods and hands over the Sword of Juras to the tall, lithe man.

The Mighty has finished taking off his armor. He won't be needing it where he's headed. The sword, however, he keeps with himself, for it means too much to him.
"Given its magical properties it'll probably help, actually" Archmage Anodis tells him as he guides him to a circle of runes in front of the Pillar of Heaven.
On the other side of the Pillar, King Terruil Velaris looks at his right hand, holding the blade that his grandfather had forged - the Sword of Juras. The ring on his hand was now glowing, the magical gemstone eminating a great force. He nodded to the Mighty and stepped into the opposing circle of runes.
The incantations of the Paitran and Elvish mages increased, with the Archmage joining in.
The ceilings shook. A crash was heard, cracks began to form on the walls at first, after which a large object broke through - the two Sentinel Primes, locked in a hand-to-hand fight with each other, had fallen onto the tower, breaking away a part of it. Stones started falling all around.

The tower starts collapsing on top of you - the stones crush many, including Lontus, Levos, Humbus, Phoinix Damos, Karfog Skullsplitter and many others. The rest managed to get close enough to the Pillar that they were protected, though - with no structure above it, the Pillar now looks like a beam going straight up, into the afternoon sky, piercing the clouds. From it a barrier extends, protecting those close to it from the falling boulders.
Nothing remains where the runic circles were, except what looks like a few particles of shining dust. The Pillar's light surges to strengths none of you have ever seen before, almost blinding in fact.
Other beams of light pierce the dark clouds - they part and give way to a light - to many on the ground it looks like a Gate to some other world. From it descend winged beings, armed and armored, led by one great figure, its size close to fourty meters in height - its form is like a human, its face shrouded, its hand wielding a blade that looks like a far bigger and greater version of The Sword of Juras.
Anavark and Ulanxir had gotten out of the tower in time and are now in their draconic forms. The massive winged swordsman clashes with the Great Dark Dragon - the sword in his right hand eminating a dazzling right, while in his left hand now blazing a sword of fire - one sword cuts and another stabs. Ulanxir tries to come to the aid of his father, but he is assailed by griffon riders and dozens of the smaller winged beings. The fight rages in the skies above us as we can do little but watch.

Anavark tries to fight back - to blink-teleport himself away, to create dark illusions, to breath great streams of fire, he tries summoning lightning from the clouds, to summon gusts of wind, to launch chunks of rock from the ground at the Archangel, but to no avail - it's like he knows everything the dragon can throw at him and is able to avoid it in time, to catch up to him and land another hit - and another one, another one, another one - the flaming sword is stuck in the dragon's body, who teleports himself some distance away and removes it, but the angel merely summons another one. Explosions and roars ripple across the sky as Anavark is being given a just-deserved punishment for all he's done, until at last the Angel himself blinks right infront of the Dragon and thrusts the Sword of Light deep into the Dark One's heart. The massive, over 50 meters long body of Anavark falls on one of the towers on the eastern edge of Dominas.
Ulanxir manages to escape death just barely, the last remaining dark dragon is taken down by the smaller angels. Anavark's army on the ground is confused, uncertain of what is going on right now.

Levos lay on the ground, waist down crushed by a large hunk of rock. Looking above himself into the orange sky suddenly beset by wings, he knew he was dead, or close to it. After all, angels were things of myths and legends. As an enormous figure emerged from the clouds, Levos thought not of his enemy Ulanxir, but of his father.

A memory flashed in front of him. A cloudy overset day in autumn, but his father had promised to take him fishing, and so he did. They hadn't caught much that day, but they did it together.

"Father... I'm coming..."

And with that, he was gone.

Mill kneels next to body, giving prayer to Mor and Juras for safe travels for the adventure after life. After the Rights of Mor had been spoken, Mill picks up Fleshseeker next to the body, it's steel stained in blood and it's hilt battered with bits of flesh, yet whole. Slowly, Mill stands, looking down on the fallen form of Barnabas, and remains silent for a moment, as if waiting for something. With tears streaking down his face, Mill's whispers to the fallen Duke.

"Goodby, brother."

The sun has just set on the 8th of Kovinar, 725. Anavark has fallen, but his army is still in the city. The angels have just finished off the third Dark Dragon, leaving the enemy with no presence in the skies. What should we do? Our own lines of communication are disrupted, we're not quite sure how many troops we have and what condition they're in - the city is in terrible shape.

Unfortunately, nothing is over. The son of Anavark still draws breath and can probably draw upon significant numbers of troops and dark magic. And while they're weakened so are we.

We have a decision to make.
If we seek final victory it must be by the death of Ulanxir. No other solution will suffice if we wish to avoid yet another war in the future.
Our other option is to seek an end to the current war, given the current situation I doubt our enemy would be hesitant to accept negotiation.

If we seek negotiations I would recommend the following demands:
The withdrawal of troops from Drezvak.
Liberation of Ezirin, either as a free principality or under our wise guidance.
In addition, the oasis and the valley south of bloodmist pass can no longer be under the control of the Rhoznaxi, they are ideal staging points for further aggression upon our lands.
>>1262833
He saved my life, I shall never be able to repay that debt to your family.

>>1263572
Without their leaders and dragons they should be much demoralized and confused. I recommend we seize the advantage and give them no time to organize.
We either drive them out by force or summon their current leaders for demanding their withdrawal. Either way it is pivotal that we give them no time to seize the initiative.

>>1263572
Focus on getting our communications back together. Then we'll see if the Anavarki army is going to try and retreat.

>>1263572
Contact the angels should be our first priority. Perhaps amplify our voices to reach their height. That way we can prioritize targets such as Ulanxir. Also try to reestablish our own lines of communication, and send a few men to see what shape the enemy forces are in.

>>1263572
Hmmm, we should step into contact with the Archangels and try to get as many soldiers united as possible and strike at the enemy now that they lost their magic support

>>1263572
For now after being a witness to the grand stragatems and crazyniss of what occured at the pillars this simple solider will try to get a bite to eat if there is time before marching back to war to take back the kingdom, the tides turn in our favor!

We have 140k armed men left alive - close to half are wounded to some degree. Above us we have one archangel and thirty nine lesser angels that are scouring the area for Ulanxir - as far as we know, he fled the battle after seeing his father's death.
The Rhoznaxi army is regrouping in the southern side of the city - we estimate their numbers to be close to two hundred thousand all in all. They're not launching any attacks yet.

"You're in no position to defeat us with the puny forces you have left" the orc says
"What we could agree to is perhaps a ceasefire and withdraw of our army? I can't speak for the Caliph, but peace talks would have to come after that. We won't surrender our arms and armor, but perhaps we can agree to releasing the prisoners...and trophies we have"The demon says.The orc scowls upon hearing that proposal.
"I'd want this ceasefire to be valid in the West as well - I'll send word to the Empress of what's transpired, we can organize joint peace talks." the dark elf says

>>1263745
It takes only one look to the East to see who is trully superior. Anavrak is dead, how long do you think you will keep it a secret from your soldiers? How long until the panic sets in? Not to mention that you have no major magical support. Come dawn your forces would be destroyed and your lifes over.

>>1263745
We have angels at our side, you have nothing. In such a situation numbers matter not.

However, as the Dragoncommander stated, we will in our kindness accept the release of all prisoners and the return of your unjustly claimed trophies.
Leave our lands and do not return.

Regarding peace talks, I am sure our migthy Emperor will be open to hearing your pleas. He is not a goblin devoid of mercy.

An agreement was reached. General Zhaling stays with us as a hostage, the enemy returns prisoners and trophies and withdraws to their old borders, keeping some neutral ground between us. Peace talks will likely be around early spring.

In the morning the enemy army begins packing their things and withdrawing. The fires around the city are being put out, the wounded are being treated - some of the Angels themselves have come down to provide healing aid. The Archangel seems to be guarding the corpse of Anavark. Reports say that looters who tried approaching it during the night died a gruesome death, their corpses disfigured by what may be some poison eminating from the dragon's corpse.
There's many things to do - orders to give our armies, preparations for the peace talks. The agnels are still here at the moment, so we may be able to talk to them - the Archangel has not spoken to anyone, the lesser angels have said very little, only to the wounded, apparently.

The Mighty's soul has some amount of Titan's Essence, while King Terruil bore with him The Sword of Juras - the Archangel lifts up the sword in his right hand - and the Gatestone Ring, two artifacts connected to his bloodline and soul. The Mighty, as a bearer of an immortal body, would never have had an afterlife the way you mortals can - his soul is now part of mine; Terruil, on the other hand, was mortal - he willingly chose to give up the Afterlife he could've seen. He knew that if he did not do so, Anavark could destroy the Pillar and win this war, going on to eventually destroy the rest and to sever the connection between the worlds completely, so as to establish his dominance on this mortal plane."

The proposed terms are accepted.
One question remains to be settled now. The HPE rules Ezirin, the land most hard hit by the war, holding the two passes and all lands north of them. The land is devastated, its population now numbering around 600 000 minotaurs, 300 000 humans, 70 000 ogres, 20 000 ogre-human halfbreeds, 80 000 orc-ogre halfbreeds, 300 000 orcs, 1,5 million orc-human halfbreeds, 60 000 centaurs, 400 000 lizardmen and small pockets of other races. The Rhoznaxi were exploiting the occupied lands to the maximum, conscripting, enslaving and looting to support their war effort, repressing the locals harshly for any dissent. It's estimated that before the war of 681, Ezirin's population was around eight million.
What should be done with it? (Posting old map, because the new one is unfinished)

The warpriest of Stoman have won the bout. Both by being popular enough with his victories, and by his powress of beating down the opposition.

Rolled 7 (1d10)

Finally returning to Trusted Defense after many months at the frontline, Trusted Councilor Lingnu formally offers her resignation to the united council of Councilors & Advisors, taking personal responsibility for the many mistakes made by her and those appointed by her.
However, most of the council hold little desire to accept her resignation without debate. Many of the deeply conservative demand blood for making a pact with demons, many of the liberals want somebody to punish for bringing them into such a destructive war and many in the middle hold the view that Lingnu is a hero that did everything right.

1 No resignation accepted, give her another medal instead!
2 Honorable resignation and a cushy position at the Grand Academy
3 Honorable resignation and very comfy retirement given
4 Resignation accepted, comfy retirement
5 Resignation accepted
6 Kicked out of the order
7 Disgraced and denounced.
8 Lock her up!
9 Exile
10 Defenestrated

>7 Disgraced and denounced.
For gross incompetence, warmongering, unsurping the leadership of the Knights of Juras, losing the Sword of Juras and very bad judgement, Lingnu is denounced by the united council.
Furthermore, as her robes of office are forcibly torn away, it is discovered that she is a woman! While long rumored, most refused to believe such slander before seeing the evidence with their own eyes.
A shocking insult to the noble traditions of the order of Councilors as women are not allowed entry by ancient law. Denounced and shamed in public, Lingnu runs crying from the chambers.

Having seen to the former leader, the council quickly get down to electing a new, more worthy leader::

1. Some saint who honestly believes in virtue and morality, hates violence
2. A dick, morals are for the weak & peasants
3. More forward thinking, reformist
4. Strict and conservative
5. Former soldier who joined the Councilors, as much a soldier as a scholar
6. Corrupt weakling, only there due to nepotism
7. Cabbage salesman, how did that happen?
8. Radical reformist
9. “The way of the sages is a philosophy of peace. Death to all who say otherwise!”
10 Councilor Vanders. A pacifist that preaches love, tolerance and poverty relief
11 Councilor Baraka. A man of southern ancestry and a gifted speaker
12 Councilor Chong. The wonderchild, barely ten year old and already a prodigy in all the academic fields.
13 Another from the line of Commodus
14 Councilor Zhang. Rumored sorceror and holding unhealthy ambitions of power.
15 Councilor Drunf. A former merchant and the richest man in Freehold. Beloved by the people for his no-nonsense talk and charisma.
16 Councilor Fish …... “bloop”.....

Councilor Baraka is elected by clear majority, and with a minimum of fraud no less.

A tall man with dark skin that are rarely seen within the borders of Roggar, (rumored to be the result of his mother being less than virtuous while travelling in faraway lands).
Popular with the people, long time critic of the war and a promoter of reform. The conservative Councilors are already sweating fiercely.

>>1264461
As Mill moves through Trusted Defense for an important meeting, he hears a muffled sob. Intrigued, he follows the crying to the most unlikely of persons.

"Lingnu? Why are you crying? What happened?"

>>1264381
A

>>1264512
"I... I... Nothing at all.
I was just granted an extended vacation to recuperate after the horrors of the war. Just like I requested.
I'll retire to my family estate in Foothold... and write a novel or something. Some poetry perhaps. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll need to pack my bags, they want me out by sunset."

We've begun the process of rebuilding - it will be going on passively in the background.
The economy is on the brink of collapse, many regions rely on imports from elsewhere, there are shortages of manpower in some places, displaced refugees, disabled veterans, outbreaks of diseases, banditry and urban crime. Furthermore, a large percentage of Roggar's knights, the middlemen in the sphere of land ownership, died during the war and there is some administrative chaos with those who left no heirs - or too many heirs - all having perished at the same time.

Start to organize the Knights evenly, helping those with to many heirs claim now heirless lands and get those veterans who remain to travel helping teach those with no mentors.

>>1264582

Barnabas would have wanted law to be returned to the lands.

Since you voted A again, give ideas on what we should do in more exact terms

You mean E lad. Also, step down.

>>1264620
>>1264613
Over here boss
>>1264635
Fuck off "lad"

>>1264620
Focus on bringing the fields in war torn areas up to scratch. Wean ourselves off of foreign goods slowly. Grow products that can be sold for higher prices, sell them off, then buy cheap staple goods for the people.

>>1264645
Good idea support, we can also deploy the farming golems to the war torn areas.

>>1264658
>>1264613
both of these, yes

"You fuck off, laddy. You the reason this idiotic 'crusade' was started in the first place. I see you profited from the dearh and chaos this war caused, 'Emperor'."

Ah yes I cause the massive Shadow Dragon empire to rise and threaten our very existence...

>>1264658
>>1264645

Both od these, there is nothing fudementaly wrong with our agricultural system we just need to let it recover and invest more into the well being of our lowest classes. The only real problem is the knights shortage.

We've worked on solving the land ownership disputes.
The Angels have departed, the connection to Heaven having returned to normal.

Rebuild what we've had destroyed in the upper longfork regions and our lands in Ezirin.

>>1264725

>>1264750
we shall do
>>1264738
>>1264744
to help the nation recover

>>1264750
First we shall properly codify the laws of inheritance going to the oldest male in that line.

The Crown will also take a variety of loans from the noble houses of Roggar and reinvest the money into the ruined industry of Ezirin and the merchant guilds of Roggar.

>>1264757
Support

>>1264757
"To ensure no favoritism from the Crown, a council from the House of Lords shall decide on which loan to take and which investments take priority, and the Emperor's house shall be excluded."

>>1264757
ye

>>1264793
fuck no

>>1264757
I shall lend my support and make sure this affair is handled properly.

>>1264600
"A civil debate that might have gotten a bit out of hand, naught the concern of the Dragonguard.
Now help me pack up my stuff please, I'm NEVER returning to this wretched hive of scum and villainy. They'll regret electing that foreign-born dog, mark my words."

>>1264757
sounds good

>>1264686
"Ah, yes, truly you were the only one to stop this 'shadow' empire. Not much for humility are ya?"
>>1264691
A father murdered, a brother dead, and a family slighted. All done at the hands of the gobbo lord. You may have forgotten these slights, but Nayte has not.
>>1264801
Poor vassal, being a yes man to you bigger bro. Run along now, little lord, let the big boys handle this.

>>1264857
"A-alright. If that is your wish, I shall help you pack and move. Before we leave though, I do have something to take care of though. Now, lets get you packed..."
Mill goes off to help Lingnu pack.

>>1264872
"Can we please calm down? This fight gets us nowhere."

>>1264872
>A father murdered, a brother dead, and a family slighted. All done at the hands of the gobbo lord. You may have forgotten these slights, but Nayte has not.
"Your father and brother are enjoying their afterlife in Heaven at Batahls eternal Festival. Meanwhile my own father and one of my friends are suffering for eternity with that bastard Anavark in the Vast."

The Crown will take loans from noble houses, guilds and money lenders. Cognatic primogeniture is signed into law for the Knightly class.
