Battle of Red Hills

Military action

Gregor's first battle that we still have record of came to be known the Battle of Red Hills, and is generally thought to have occurred in the southern foothills of the Jhonish Mountain Range. By this time, Gregor served the Hosian military as a cavalry line officer. Two separate remaining sources speak of Gregor's valor, and military skill allowing the beaten human forces to retreat from the onslaught of Hill Giant attacks in the region. A quote from the private journal of Aelus Blackholm speaks of Gregor:    „We stood there, sure as the blood in our boots that our time had come. As I gave what I took for my last prayer, I heard Gregor's damned bugler. Of all the men to sound your charge, Ol' Gregor chooses one tone deaf as a stone. But that day it was sweeter than the prettiest of elvish songs. Next thing we know Gregor is leading his cavalry right over our line. And by this I mean he and his crazy boys leapt right over our bleeding heads! To the end of my days I will remember the look on those giant faces has Gregor charged 'em. They musta thought it was Coranal himself on their heels! Never before seen a man fight and ride like Gregor did that day, and I don't reckon I ever will.‰
