Episode: Shattered Peace
Posted by Story on 10/17/23
In the days after the battle just outside Arx's walls, the smoke (both literal and figurative) clears and reveals the aftermath. While the Compact can easily claim a victory, it has not come without a heavy price. Sir Amund Monrosa and Lord Cillian Blackwood were both lost in the fight with Helena Thornweave. Their bravery is lauded upon the lips of every Arx citizen and citizen of the Compact who can sleep a bit easier now, knowing that the world is just a little safer without that woman being in it. Lord Ian Kennex, Princess Katarina Valardin, Raja Culler, Marquessa Dominique Wyrmguard, Lord Vitalis Clement, a woman named Raven, Prince Aindre Grayson, Countess Acantha Clearlake, Lord Kastelon Keaton, and Aksel Nygard also helped fight against the warlord, with several suffering from serious injuried in the fight though all are expected to recover.
It is further said that Auda Florin was also somehow involved in the battle, though her actions are more rumor than fact with many claiming that the woman tricked Helena Thornweave and helped the Compact deliver a victory against her.
Regardless, the people of the Compact are determined to show their gratitude for the sacrifices made.
The armies of the Compact, particularly those of House Riven and House Grayson are also commended by the people of the Compact and anyone wearing any sort of soldier's uniform is likely to find themselves drowning in free drinks should they stop by any of the taverns in the city. Though injuries were sustained, it is believed that the intervention of Cardian Tribune Petraea Livy, who lost her life in the act, was instrumental in limiting the number of lives lost and injuries taken in the defense of Arx's walls. While the area that she set fire is still smoking in the winter cold, many believe that a little bit of charred forest is a small price to pay for the safety of the Compact's citizens.
