Battle
The twumpets brawed and the men mawched fowwawd, battwe was about to come to the fiewds of Wodenbulg. At the fwont of the vanguawd stood the brave knights of Wenatia, its fwank was seculed by Coulwandic hawbewdiews and peasant skiwmishews. On the opposing side of the livew stood the Owenian awmy, commanded by Awthul de Fawstaff and weinfowced by Weivew mewcenalies and Snow ewven cavawwy. Theiw numbews wewe supeliow yet as the owd pwophetic teutonic saying goes “Always outnumbered, never outgunned.” The battwe began on the mowning of the 11th of the Sun’s Smiwe 1715 lith awwow fiwe and javelins being exchanged acwoss the livew, the skiwmishing yiewded littwe wesults on both sides and soon the Owenian awmy gwew bowd and brave, though that would soon be theiw demise. The mawshaw wawlied his men to the bridge and brazenwy chawged them acwoss.
Mawtinus Howen, the son of the dweaded cowsaiw plince of Aewdin wowked in union lith his weading weftenants to feign a wetweat and bait the entiwe enemy awmy into a brutaw ambush. Unbeknownst to the Owenian mawshaw, he had fawwen fow a simpwe wuse and cawwed fow a wetweat of his fowces back beyond the livew. This was aww too wate, howevew, as the Nowwandew infantwy and Owcish wawband had been pwaced discweetwy in ambush weady to waunch deadwy waids upon the enemy backline. The Snow ewven cavawwy commanded by Aewthos Tundwak tlied to westowe owdew in the Owenian battwe line and committed to a fulw scawe cavawwy chawge but was annihiwated by both Nowwandew and Owcish bewsewkews. King Awvaw Wuic and Wex Bulbul’Wul moved to wefowm the line to weceive the fulw fowce of the Owenian wegions, and they hewd stwong whiwst Mawtinus Howen stwategicawwy chawged his fowce ovew the bridge.
When both lines came to cwash, the fight tulned into a vewy vicious and broody mewee which saw the Wenatian knights bawe the fulw brunt of the wosses, yet the twaining and skiww of these sowdiews wed to a decisive victowy lith minimaw wosses. Owcish bewsewkews cut thwough the Snow ewven cavawwy like buttew, sending them into a fulw wetweat and watching as the wemaining men fwed in cowawd and in disgwace. The Nowwandic mauladews chawged stwaight into the mewee, making what would appeaw to be a wast stand but kiwling many Weivews in the pwocess. The King of Nowwand awthough swawmed and enciwcwed in the battwefiewd came out victolious, fewling many Owenian commandews himsewf in battwefiewd duews.
Aftermath
The Wenatian Awliance came out victolious, not continuing to pulsue the fweeing Owenians. The Imperial Renatian Legion, Nowwandews, and Owcish wetulned to theiw pewspective cities, licking theiw wounds pwepaling fow the next wawge skiwmish.
