The Army of the Kingdom of the West, over 20 strong, invaded Atenveldt during mid-February. After initial scouting forays, both armies noted the approach of an army from the Kingdom of Caid, apparently waiting jackal-like in the wings, to attack the weakened victor. His grace, Henrik, Duke of Havn, Commander of the Western Army, arranged a truce with the Captains of the Sun in order to remove the scavengers from the field. Cornered in a defile, the Caid soldiery was slaughtered to a man by the Chivalry of Atenveldt and the doughty Western heroes. With the nuisances removed, the two remaining armies girded for sword strokes. Atenveldt, with over three times as many well trained warriors as the West, was led into unfavorable terrain and lost over half of their force before finally driving off the remnants of the Western Army. | |||
