Title: The Legion War
Author: Malicite
Some wars are fought for glory, and some for gold. Yet, now and again, you have a war fought because not every warlord is of average intelligence. Today, I stand before you to speak of one such war.
His name was Malo and he waged war on the isle of Moonglow to his own folly. The Legion of Honor, as they love to call themselves, descended on this very island seeking blood that did not need to be spilled. I, myself, was the first target of Lord Malo and his lackey Jewel. They tried in vain to end my life, and, had it not been for the skilled assistance of Lords Sarian and Spawn, they may have gotten their wish. Their forces beaten, the Legion temporarily withdrew from the city, leaving it in a state of shock. Mayor Cal Hurst, in an inspired moment, rallied the gathered militia and citizenry behind one cause...the destruction of the Legion of Honor.
"Semper Veritas" and condemnations of the Legion erupted throughout the city as we braced for thier next offensive.
We did not have to wait long. Wave after wave of the Legion's forces assaulted the very heart of Moonglow but they did not anticipate the staunch resistance of the combined citizenry and militia. We did not break, we did not falter and soon the streets of Moonglow were paved in the Legion's dead. Even after they brought foul creatures, which haunt the dreams of the young, we did not lose a single soldier. My heart still glows with pride for the skill and bravery my brothers and sisters showed during those battles. They fought for the council and the island, and thrashed the Legion so smartly, that they returned to whatever caves or cellars they spawned from.
While the Legion cowered, Moonglow prepared her fleet for war. As militia and dock workers loaded supplies into the waiting vessels, Minister Vargus Daelstrum and a volunteer force set sail for the lands of the Legion to establish an outpost for the coming invasion. He and his four volunteers withstood countless assaults on the outpost and protected the force of workers laboring day and night. Their hard work and tenacity, in the face of such ordeals, built that outpost as much as the workers who laid the bricks.
With victory all but secured, and the outpost completed, Vargus and his volunteers returned to Moonglow to link up with the larger force preparing for the invasion. However, on the day the fleet was meant to set sail, a lone messanger from the Legion arrived. With him, he brought the surrender notice of the Legion of Honor. Moonglow had won!
The war was over and a new generation of heroes were forged. Semper Veritas and endless victory for Moonglow!
