Day of Two Sieges

The day when two armies landed upon the shores of Langerhausen.

Legion marched forth, accompanied by a diplomat and healer from the Order of the Abbot, to explore the mysterious realm of Langerhausen. They sought to ascertain whether the lands were still inhabited, and the knights still upholding their feudal obligations.

To such ends Legion landed an exploration party at the Langer mainland keep. The keep was found to be inhabited still, but communications broke down as adrenaline ran high, and a fierce fight ensued. The knights managed to narrowly hold their keep, despite failing to drive Legion from the field.

During the same week, the Mercenaries of Bitter Peak landed forces outside of the capital of the Isles. Their battle was much bloodier, as the nations of Dargarth rallied to the defense of the Langerhausen capital: in all the Explorers, the Order of the Abbot, and Alliance took the field in their defense. However Alliance did so more literally, as they deployed on the field with the gate locked behind them!

All did not go well for Bitter Peak. Not only were they outnumbered, but many of their men turned upon them, striking them down from behind! It is unknown whether this was political infighting or untrustworthy mercenaries hired by the mercenaries, but it is rumored that the leadership of Langerhausen had something to do with the betrayal.

It is unknown whether these two events were coordinated, or simply a coincidence of timing which allowed Langer to call up all their levies and allies at one time.

Out-of-Character

This was an 80+ plus battle day, as Alliance Company (Amtgard) and the Isles of Langer (the Knights of Solaris), both cross-gaming groups, took the field, with the KoS calling in many allies from Northwest LARPs. Additionally Bitter Peak fielded Games of Adventure in support (though they subsequently turned on them). This was also the second event for Legion being a unified country, and they came out with more fighters than normal.
