Linnis Faer’s (ruling family of County Faer of Dunstrand) golden-haired middle son Gerald, leading a host of 60 cavalry, and Count Badgericus’ (of East River Run county in Dunstrand) nephew Sir Leon Badgericus leading 100 infantry and a skirmishing force of combined Riverdan warriors, met a host of Orrish in the uplands of the Riverdan of Pelmon. A large battle was fought against a host of abominations and beasts. It is said they were taken captive – the prize of nobles both of the Lightbringer faith was too much to resist. Nobody sure where they are at now. Other captives were killed and their bodies mostly eaten and remains left for all to see. Especially gruesome were the 40 dwarves that had been brought as sappers and miners to collapse the caverns the Orrish were coming from – the few captured were flayed alive. It seems the old Orrish-Dwarven/Ducateon enmity is alive and well. Folks are calling it the Battle of the Light’s Embers – as the 2 Lightbringer’s forces have ‘diminished the light in Dunstrand’. Many Orrish were killed as well, and a new Ork leader among them has risen up and is building another host. The Riverdans is assembling their own local army, though it seems delayed by their fractious political nature.
