Title: Book III

Author: Isk

It was Dealthagar who first left the loyalists behind taking with him his Divine Awakening and promising a civil war. Clan Moor soon expressed feelings of regret at the decision to appoint Rufus as Regent and made plans to pull out of the next battle. On the 18th, the day before the next battle Rufus had a meeting in Serpent's Hold to which the representatives of GoS, MTC, LOA and Clan Moor attended. At first it was LOA and Moor that questioned the new Regent, Red Wind of Clan Moor made it known then that Moor would not attend the next battle and that it would be better to just give the victory over to the B-H forces, the representative of LOA agreed that the Regency could not win with all the conspiracies being formed in the background. It was the MTC representative Marrat Thayas that returned hope to the struggle for Serpent's Hold by saying the following quick speech:

"It is evident that there are some among the loyalists that would rather not support Rufus and instead opt for some new candidate, what is clear is that Huma Dragonbane made Rufus the legal Regent by his own volition. To deny Rufus and the armies that support him of your loyalties would be similar to committing treason. To back out of a war during your moment of victory is nothing short of cowardice"

To this Red Wind did not have a reply, it was the entrance of Huma and his affirmation that the battle would be a success that brought Clan Moor back on track for the war as Red Wind gave the full support of his armies at the end of the meeting.

And so it was that the second battle began much like the first at the stroke of 9pm by the eastern star. The forces of light did not put up barricades this time but instead opted to stay together and take out the invaders much like they did the first time, by splitting them up and destroying them by their numerical advantage.

The battle itself was chaotic various reports exaggerated the numbers on both sides, what is clear is that the Regency had superior forces by over five members.

Cloudster assumed the form of the man beast and was attacked by a handful of light bringers. Among the Light Bringers it was Krymson Midrath who with his katana took down over five men causing the Brotherhood of the Hand and the orcs that were present to run at his charge in fear for their lives. In the end the significant leaders of the Regency were forced off their mounts with broken bones and injuries but all of the attacking forces were destroyed utterly. About seven loyalists remained alive at the end. The victory was such that the Brotherhood of the Hand and the drow soon got discouraged of making another attack and decided to give up the campaign.

At the end of the battle as time progressed the Regent, Rufus, made a proclamation to hold a regency election. Lilyth Noir was chosen as a runner by Clan Moor, Kotare was chosen to run by Martin Willow and Rufus was running as well. The election date was scheduled for June 3rd.

Before the election each candidate gave a speech as to what he or she will do when elected. Rufus' speech was as follows:

"Fair Citizens of Britannia, I come to you bearing words concerning the potential that exists within the Regency and the possibilities that are available if I am chosen as Governor Regent of Britannia. I have presented in the past, many missives of unity amongst the peoples of Britannia, and now while this is a new situation I face, my mission remains the same. In my existence I have never lost sight of the possibility of a great nation can exist through a unified people and a close relationship with their governing body.
