The Firelanders Retreat from Beryl

Military action

Having conquered and settled in the Firelands Coast, the Umari of the Firelanders hoped to repeat their success in the Gold Coast. They rode through the Ivory Savanna, pillaging the settlements of the Rustspeaking tribes and raiding what they could to feed their armies. Their cavalry and infantry arrived with their banners at the walls of Beryl where they sought to overwhelm the city as they had in the west. Beryl had been aware of their coming, however, from the many tribes that had been moving east to flee from their advance, and had prepared itself for a siege. The walls were shut and despite the best efforts, the Umari could not break them. Not having a foothold in the Gold Coast to supply them (for they had hoped Beryl would be such a foothold), they were forced to retreat and ride back through the Savanna to the Firelands.
