Looking for Honor and Glory?
Recruits Welcomed
If you are looking to prove your mettle on the battlefield then Ash Sea Islands is the center of the world. Ash Sea Islands is a tight-knit brotherhood, always outnumbered but never outfought. Currently invaded from all sides we have seen multiple victories in Worav, Yacon, and the historic defense of Ash'rily. These victories in spite of our numbers. In Ash Sea Islands, every soldier is treated as an equal.
Vultures Descend on Aja
Talerium Sneaks in under the Skirts of Abington
Taking advantage of Ash Sea Island's valiant fight to survive, forces from Talerium swooped into Aja unexpectedly to pick crumbs from Abington's table. Ash Sea Islanders could only shake their heads and wonder. The willingness of so many minnows to see the pirhana dominate remains a mystery.
Abingtonian Debacle In Ash'rily
Forces Stumble Away from the Walls of Ash'rily in Defeat
The main body of the invading Abington army met a crushing defeat today at the hands of the citizens of Ash'rily. The huge ill-prepared mob from the south advanced on the beleagured city expecting a quick victory and sacking. To face them, the newly appointed Duke Wallace pushed forward a force made up of young boys, old men, and a core group of hardy Knights who had been caught behind enemy lines during the invasion. The outnumbered defenders looked out in awe as the massive force advanced on the walls of the city. The array of siege engines, banners, and men was an astounding sight.
Duke Wallace roused the populace and steeled their spines for the coming onslaught. As the invaders drew near the archers poured volley after volley into the enemy lines and the enemy fell as if by a scythe. Hundreds died but the advance continued. As infantry approached the walls, the citizen defenders poured boiling oil and dropped stones onto the heads of the invaders causing some to turn and flee.
As the bodies piled up at the base of the wall, massive numbers of seige engines were brought forth and began to pound the walls of the old city into dust. The critical point had been reached and the first of the invaders cleared a spot on the wall but could not hold their position as Duke Wallace closed the gap. The tide had turned and Abingtonians began to stream away from the battlefield, their leaders shouts failing to turn them back toward the slaughter.
Thousands of Abingtonians had been killed including one of their heroes, Feldric Selemnir, whose body was recovered under a flag of truce. As the Abingtonian army was slinking away in defeat, a noble rode forth to declare that there would be a "reckoning" for the events of the day. If there is to be a "reckoning" for the men of Ash'rily then it will only be a "reckoning" for doing their manly duty to defend their own homes.

Due to the war and being caught behind enemy lines Landesred has been engaged in five battles in his few days as a troop leader. His younger brother Selesred also serves under Duke Wallace in the desperate defense of Ash'rily. The family are Ash Sea Islands patriots and would not see their city fall under enemy occupation.
