Still doesnt work damn. Weve just had the biggest battle in Kappa and me a noob cant post the fun stuff
The staunch Black Shadows versus the evil Dark Tide sweeping through Ocean 44...
and I don't know how to post details... lol
But first a tale of the grand history of our world:
The oil soaked torch flickered as the salted sea breeze played upon it’s flame. Silent shadows danced along the battlements.
It was a night like any other.
The only sound that of booted feet on the hard rock walls – and the distant snoring of sentries become complacent.
Meagre streaks of moonlight sifted through the clouds to form paths of light emanating out from the Golden Citadel – the bastion of the Blacks Shadows – the centre of the known world.
Recent weeks had seen scholars and acolytes flock to this haven in a world wrecked with war. Strength of arms and new technologies a deterrent for pillagers and raiders alike.
In spite of the arid lands and poor soil common folk had begun migrating to the citadel, confident in the high granite walls if war were to break out. Farms had been producing record crops further enticing merchants and thus coin.
Aleksander turned his back to the sea. He focused his gaze inside the walls he had painstakingly built. Pride straightened his posture as he watched his city sleep – safety within its walls ensured.
Tomorrow’s actions would continue that guarantee of freedom for his people.
“Our troops will be ready an hour before first light”.
Aleksander turned to face Agent. Right hand man, military commander and friend.
“Victory is assured”, he continued. “The slingers will draw the enemy out of their stronghold”. He paused, seeing the look of concern on his lord’s face. “Our cavalry can then shred their archers once out from behind their cowardly walls.”
Aleksander looked down to his newly built harbour, a fleet of biremes ready to set sail. “No honour remains”.
“My lord?”
“In days past our armies would meet and a battle of men would take place. Not this womanly trickery. Surprising a city at first light. Murdering sleeping children. This is not what the Gods wish.” He paused. “That I cannot believe”.
Agent considered his lords words and turned skyward. “If Hera did not bathe in the blood of her enemies she would not have granted us her favour.” He pointed to the newly build barracks. “Soldiers from all the isles flock to join our banner. Never has a God shown favour to mortals who do not do their bidding.”
“It is wrong.”
“The Gods will it.”
Aleksander turned once more to survey his city. “Perhaps in time there shall be peace in the core of the world”.
“With Hera’s blessing and my lords strength”.
“Wake the men. Ready the march”.
And now the details of the Battle with 1000's of brave warriors bleeding at the base of the Walls of the Blood Soaked Citadel (recently changed form the Golden Citadel for obvious reasons) and wood debris washing ashore from the 100's of ships lost in the first major Kappa war.
[Just waiting for someone to explain to me how to post the damn battle details]
