The First legion, which had been besieged within Dansa by the “Mad Horde” of Nagrazzar for the past 2 years, finally broke the siege and linked up with the second legion. There they regrouped, and fast marched south to encamp north of the city of Santhur, the capital of the mad wizard.
Lacking the numbers to envelop and siege the city, the legions made a lightning strike for the Palace.
//Karandar//
Led the assualt upon the FistFury gate with a majority of the 1st and the entire 2nd legion, primarily a distraction, but also deisgned to allow his forces to reinforce the other parties once the gate had been taken from behind.
//[[NPC – San Dolio | San Dolio]]// Led the attack against the river gate, a small gate that lacked the large defenses of the other. Utilizing the Wind Magus, Thov, Dolio dropped a centtury behind the gate and quickly took it, and moved to flank Karandar’s gate with his other 3 centuries.
//[[NPC – Striker | Striker]]// Was supposed to sailing a small riverboat fleet around the city, and take it via the docks, however that never really worked out. Nagrazzar lauched a pre-emtpive strike upon the lighting magus, and somehow in the ensuring fight, the boat (a small ship really) that Striker was upon was launched forward and terminal velocity and was embedded into the city wall. From there the Magus and his guard of Battlemages and Red Helms forced their way into the city.
The City
Karandar and Dolio cleaned up the Fistfury gate and moved on the palace without significant resistance, linking up with Striker and going straight for the Mad Wizard. Entering the Palace, they found it to be a trap, and as Red Helms died around them, the three, along with a Barbarian Ruginar, managed to drop the wizard with a wooden spear (breaking his Metal-proof magical shield amulet), but not damaging him significantly.
Unknown to the other two, Morrowdorn was waiting for word to make his move, and when Striker made him aware of the changes, the High Mage of Darkness arrived, and engaged the Mad Wizard directly, ending the war in the massive conflagration about the city, that ended in the destruction of nearly half of the “Wealthy District” of the city.
The Mad Hordes, no longer under the Mad Wizards control, seemed to awake, dazed and confused. With no memories of how they got here and why, and seeing blood-lusting Nestorian Legionaries in and around them, most surrendered without much trouble, bring the 8 year ‘Liberation’ to an end.
