Siege of Redcrest

The Frozen Legion, lead by Tougal and his brother, the Black Pyre, laid siege on the city of Redcrest for three fortnights. A dark spell was casted upon the land, and a terrible winter storm brought down cold snow, ice, and wind. The great army of the undead waited outside the walls, while others inside suffered, unable to escape. Food ran low, water froze solid, and the Plague spread among the citizens. Those inflicted with the disease were killed, and their possessions burned in order to purge the city of the disease (before the ill were sent to The Finger, a ruined city that became a quarantine colony).

When the final assault began, the forces quickly overtook the main gate, forcing the survivors into the inner city. There, Lord Brenwulf lead his men in their final stand. Their numbers were few, and the gates would not hold forever. Yet hope came, as a mysterious archer named Draven crept inside the city, and told Brenwulf that the Sentinels of Orius and one hundred Ganadite riders had come to repel the siege. The half-elf, L'Orxian, also revealed that he had a weapon that could be used to slay Tougal, a Silver Arrow that was once belonged to Orius, the god of stars. During the final assault, Brenwulf and several heroes of the lands joined forces in fighting off Tougal and the Legion. The Black Pyre came down on the palace and slayed many, but the strong warriors fought back. When Tougal had been weakened by many blows, Draven took the Silver Arrow, and fired it into the fiend's heart. Afterwards a dragonborn known as Wraqull challenged the Pyre, and defeated him as he was forced to retreat back to his realm. The Ganadite riders, lead by the Mighty Hroctor, broke through the outer gates, and lead a charge against all the Legion soldiers within the city. The remainder of the dark army then retreated. Redcrest was saved, but over a thousand had perished during the siege. Lord Brenwulf then called for a council, comprised of many allies from all over the land, to discuss how they might band together against the Five Curses of Fengorath.
