The Battle for Krakan Bower

Military: Battle

The taking of Krakan Bower by the Ocean Pride, Marsh Orcs, Kaban, and Kadelkonatl.

The first major battle of Eyiliv's War was the Battle for Krakan Bower. The Marsh Orcs sent off the first offensive, as The Western Pillars didn't want to show their hand with the Ocean Pride right at the beginning. Several squadrons set up in "Kaban formation" with shields on all sides. Between them, berserkers flooded the battlefields in front of Krakan Bower's walls. While the Tara-Jhen natives put up a good fight, fending off the first two waves with arrows, they stood no chance when Kadelkonatl decided to involve himself.   Taking to the air, he breached their walls and forced a retreat to the northern portion of the city. Many escaped to their ships to flee for Bourilia when they were pincer attacked by the Ocean Pride. Though it was mostly civilians, no threat was spared. The fleet was burned on the open waters, and the city was successfully taken after Gidofem Nemen took his own life. Krakan Bower would serve as the new seat of Kadelkonatl's rule.
