Norland and Barony of Makar humiliated in Belegrond

Today at sunset, the combined forces of Norland and Barony of Makar launched an attack on the Eston mountain stronghold of Belegrond. They brought an army almost double in size and strength to the defending forces, and aimed to break through the walls using siege engines. But thing didn't go as planned for Derack the Daring, commander of the attacking army. Perhaps Derack the Feeble would suit him better, as he failed to defeat the brave Royal Army of Eston, and was wounded in the process. Amongst other wounded attackers are Sordnaz, Dictator of Barony of Makar, and Gorhero, Marshal of the Army of Makar. The defenders were led by Christofer Kane, a newly appointed marshal with little command experience, who surprised friend and foe with a magnificent display of military might. Against overwhelming odds, the defenders stood their grounds and repelled the invaders from the walls time and time again. The few Vikings that managed to set foot on the walls were disposed of quickly, and after five hours of brutal combat, Eston emerged victorious from the fray. With the Elost raiders arriving over the next few turns, Belegrond is once again secured from attacks, and the question remains if Eston will give their enemies time to recover from this humiliating defeat, or if they will counter immediately with more raids on Norland's turf. More news as it becomes available.
