2nd Alliance

Legend

“The last grand alliance amongst many of the races, nobility, organisations, and guilds.”

History

The first indications we have about this alliance forming are from the summer of 1279 FA. The pair of Black Oak and Deepminded rode ahead of a growing army, repelling invaders and punishing traitors. Black Oak again as High King and Deepminded as Royal Advisor.

Eventually, they reached Grimsborg in Bebram, at, attempting to secure the symbolic site. Reaching it, they were not only saddened by the sight but were also surprised by a hidden army waiting for them to arrive and begin to set camp. Surprised and outmanouvered, the alliance had to regroup, but it turned into a retreat, which became a rout.

Withdrawing south, for several weeks they came into Mumak. Turning into a strategic survival, fleeing while calling for aid, they reached Druoles, crossed its meadows and marshes, and entered Pebleron. With no allies coming to their aid, they had to keep moving, despite knowing those stopping to halter their pursuits would surely perish.

From Pebleron, they continued into Åsodala, and from there, they planned to reach Hofrana. There they would use the mountains and head southwest, into Kustu, hurry up around the mountains, and in one last charge, attack their pursuers rear.

But, as they poured down the mountain pass out into Hofrana, they saw a friendly reinforcing army laying battered and dead across the plains. At the other end of the battlefield, towards the sea, a large army of invaders blocked further advancing. So, there, the Battle of Weeping Plains ended up taking place, eventually turning the tide and ending the Great Invasion.

Organisation

It was led by a council, which had Black Oak acting as military commander and Deepminded as seer. Beneath them was a large staff of heroes that did many a deed.
