Of War, Entry One



Entry one Time: Last hour of the morning light Loction: Aughaire command tent Status: Damaged armour, acid cause. Skin partly burnt around eyes and neck. Situaction: Ram Duath captured by Free Peoples, counter attacks forming. Moral: High Wounded: Defenders wounded to three knights (Myself counting) Free Peoples total of twelve Wounded Dwarves, Five Elves and Tewenty Men. Deaths: Five Knights of Defenders, Seven Dwarves of Thorin's Halls, Ten Elves of Rivendell, Fifteen Men. Personal notes:

*Isilorbor looks out from his tent, taking the clay mug of water and takes a small sip from it*

The captaure of Ram Duath took most of the week of almost non stop fighting. The leader of Aughaire, Crannog, took Zelderan to prove the worth of the Defenders, I spoke to him afterwards and all seemed well.

*Takes another sip of his water and looks back to his jorunal*

The Free Peoples came sooner then I first thought. Elves of Rivendell, Dwarves from Thorin's Halls, Men from all over Eriador, mostly Range. It took us a full week to drive the orcs out, we burnt all their camps and forts and metaled back into the shadows. Confussion and Chaos won that battle, and now Ram Duath is a new frontline to fighting Angmar.

*Smiles to himself and looks at his acid dammaged armour and Fireblade, sighing deeply*

Victory always comes with a cost. I was luckly when...Something came from the sky and attacked us. I have heard that some called it a drake or somekind of dragorn, but it is dead now, killed by my hand. Damn thing swallowed me whole, had to cut myself out before the acid finished me off.

*Shudders at the foul memory and looks up at a Warden of Annumias, taking a report from him and nodding him away*

Since taking Ram Duath, Orcs and Angmarim have been pouring from the North, their total number is unknown, but all seem to be moving towards two cityies. I am exepting counter attacks any day now, and I am sure the enenimy will not keep us waiting for long.

*Looks up at the Angmar sky and shivers again*

This place...It is unlike anything I have ever seen or heard of. I had pictured the lands of Mordor in my mind while in Calth...If Mordor is anything like this, or worse, then I fear for the end battle. I have taken surpme command of the Free Peoples attacking Angmar, and I have reports saying that Free Peoples are already in Angmar. I will link up with them and see if I can send the supply train to them, they must need it!

*Swallows more of his water and looks at his fading candil light*

My thoughts on a Victory in Angmar will come later.

Entry Ends.
