(Summary of the Siege of the Newhaven Encampment)
--
The battle had lasted for much longer than expected. The noon sun shone brigtly in the sky, and yet neither side had really gained nor lost any ground.

The White Knights had taken a beating, much from the deployment of the nearly impenetrable schiltrons, but the overzealous efforts of the Blackpond forces ultimately led to their own demise. Most of the force was demoralised from witnessing their commander fall and then become a hostage at the hands of enemy forces, but a rally was called on their part and they continued to fight, hoping to save the life of their beloved general.

But inevitably the battle was a stalemate. The grounds of Valcrest now littered with blood, a few soldiers and mourners can be seen surveying the dead, looking for lost loved ones or perhaps looking for usable pickings. A tight code of honor is all that kept these citizens and soldiers from being killed on the spot.

King Rory

The mangled bodies lay strewn as far as the eye can see, and well beyond that. Severed limbs and other bloody parts could be found everywhere.

The once gleaming breastplates of the armies of both sides now lay in the dirt, caked with both mud and the blood of comrades. Though the battle had ended in a stalemate, few had actually survived, as the cities of Newhaven and Blackpond tended to be brutal with victory and defeat.

Rory walked amongst the corpses, grieving for each slain soldier he laid his eyes upon. His heart cried out further for any of those whom had not been lucky enough to die but had been captured by Newhaven, among them being Hastings.

Rory wept until morning at the loss of his people and for the loss of his beloved Lieutenent.

A servant had come to check on him, but Rory waved him off and bade him to fetch a messenger to his quarters.

Rory then sent said messenger to Newhaven after Phelix, as Rory wished to speak with him as soon as he could.
