Battle of Roseford

The first official skirmish of The Freedom War, the Battle of Roseford was the Pact's first real attempt at taking and holding an imperial outpost. The Pact troops surrounded the small outpost in what is known today as Aseria in the dead of night, taking the imperial troops by surprise. Even so, the Imperials put up a hard fight, entrenched as they were behind their fortifications. In the end, it was a costly battle for the Pact, but a necessary one. Though they lost many troops in the skirmish, they learned much about both the Imperial defenses and their style of combat. The victory proved to themselves and the world exactly what the Astorian Pact was capable of, and that it was possible to defeat the Empire.
