'''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!
