The records of the Fallen Heroes of Itorunt are chronicled here in the hopes that future generations will look upon this and respect those who placed their lives on the mantle of Itorunt, fighting the good fight until the end.

Alex Exiled

A great hero of Itorunt, Alex was the founder of the Itorunt Informer and it's chief editor. Inhis time in Itorunt Alex was the second in command of Itorunt's first Division. Proving himself to be a strong leader, he quickly gained favour amonst the other leaders of Itorunt, recommending a good number of other leaders to ascend the hierarchy, such as Valdid Juramona, Wilfred Fiddler and Blaine Donivan. Alex's efforts did not go unnoticed, making his voice heard in decisions on the council and eventually the Arch Priest and Duke of Semall stepped down from his positions, and them nHigh Marshal of Itorunt Robert Chadwick was named successor as duke, and was a few weeks later appointed. In a decision then given to the realm, Alex was chosen as High Marshal, one of his proudest moments.

Mere days later, Alex was slain defending the region of Igno against Calgian raiders. The battle report can be found here.

Alex stood with his men on the plain of Igno, irritated tat the Yssarians had never invested in building a wall around this townsland. It was now his job along with the brave soldiers he now stood and fought with to hold back the Caligan raids.

After a few moments of discussion with his fellow TL's, they spread out to meet the oncoming archers and infantry.

"Forward!" the cries of the Itorunt Cavalry came behind as they closed in on the enemies ranks, preparing to charge into the melee. The Infantry marched forward with a trained effciency that would be hard to find anywhere else, and Alex and his 9 archers raise their bows and shot their arrows towards the caligans.

The archers re nocked some arrows, and prepared to loose another round, but just as they did, the Caligan archers had found range and loosed volloeysof arrows towards him and his men. 4 fell under the arrows and Alex buckled, with an arrow through his thigh. Still he was not felled. As his men looked to him he shouted "keep fighting!" Another exchange of arrows, the Caligan ranks had been wrecked by the rampaging Cavalry but as Alex fired his last arrow he looked up, and the world seemed to slow down...

The arrow cut through his thin armour, piercing his neck, and as his men fell around him he struggled and fell, and the Itrount forces ranks ahed suddenly broke and scattered... he tried to shout to them to fight on but they were eventually overcome... And then the world faded.

Krunkh Scarfist

A brave hero of Itorunt, who fell soon after Alex, in Scio, a region that Caligus was trying to subjugate.

We remember him for the great man he was - one who lived for loyalty and honorable combat, lived to command his men into combat - though he did want to see then end of the war when vengeance was dealt.
