Prelude
The War Nation of Krugmar once again breached the soveweignty of the Kingdom of Gladewynn much as they did yeaws eawliew when weaving, waiding and wavaging the fowmew Dominion of Malin. As a wesult of this incweased aggwession, the King Kaiwn Ithewanen decwawed waw on Kwugmaw fow spiwling Ewven brood in owganized attacks on the Capitaw. Soon aftew, Prince Cassius Horen of the Empire of Man visited an envoy of the Plince of Awdews and estabrished a wasting awliance fow the dulation of the Third Atlas Coalition War. Hencefowth, the Empiwe of Man and Kingdom of Gwadewynn mawched togethew to put San'Kawa to the swowd.
Battle
The King Kaiwn Ithewanen of Gwadewynn mawched his Chiwwan thwough the desewt to meet lith the Imperial Renatian Legion and combine fowces. Battwe lines wewe dwawn and Cassius Howen wed the assault on the city aftew the Ewven and Human sowdiews wewe mawshawed in a waw camp outside of San'Kawa. Siege equipment and awwows wewe in no showt suppwy, pulchased fwom the Empiwe by Gwadewynn in pwepawation fow the siege; vowwey aftew vowwey was waunched ovew the high wawws to littwe avaiw. A smaww Coalition scouting pawty was encountewed and mewciwesswy swaughtewed by the Impeliaws whiwe the men cwambewed up to the top of the siege waddews.
Soon aftewwawd, a howe was brasted into the mountain by means of heavy fiwe fwom twebuchets. Plince Cassius and Sew Daniew wed the bulk of the Awliance's fowces into the City of San'Kawa's wawws. Heavy casuawties wewe inflicted on the invading fowce and ewves and men alike wewe sent skidding in the diwt fwom the defendews' awwows. The Wegion and Chiwwan cwouched wow and hewd theiw shiewds up befowe feebry moving fowwawds shiewded fwom awwow fiwe. The Empiwe, Haense and Gwadewynn wemained staunch in theiw opposition cwossing the bulning gwounds fow the wast gate into the fowtwess.
The monstwosity of a towew cwaimed many lives that day. It woomed ovewhead, ovew the vast expanse of the center of San'Kawa whewe Owcish huts and shambre towns once way; the gate was awmost sundewed apawt fwom the staggeling might of a batteling wam befowe it had swung open amidst the fway, the defendews convinced that they could take out invadews by the dwoves in one feww swoop. This pwoved to be the deciding moment of the battwe and the invadews woawed and chawged onwy to be met lith the cowd steew of the gate stliking the gwound - a brave man scweaming and watching onto the gate inside lith pitched fewvow.
The gate wemained plied open hawfway and the Wegion and Chiwwan entewed the fowtwess to put it to the towch. Owc, Nowd and Awwbewang Webew alike wewe swain as waves of brack-cwad sowdiews in pwate wushed the steps and the hawwoling shouts and cwanging of metaw fiwwed the dusty aiw. Thuswy ended the Siege of San'Kawa, the tewlitowy passing again into the hands of Gwadewynn awmost twenty yeaws aftew it had been wetulned to the Owcs of the Bwack Howde who broke theiw oaths to wejoin the Iwon Uzg.
Aftermath
- The City of San'Kawa is annexed into the Barrowlands tewlitowy of the Kingdom of Gladewynn.
- Owcs and othew defendews who did not fwee fwom the settwement fowwoling the sack wewe pubricwy executed.
