The Battle of Sorazos
The first grand conflict in what would come to be known as the War of Undeath, wherein the god Ny'Kiris waged his war upon the living.
The Conflict
Prelude
This battle began when men captured the sword of a Death Knight, the crew of the Black Reilly, under the command of Captain Muss Tash. The unholy creature sought retribution, raising an army and marching from the necropolis it had forged, allying itself with dark powers and abominations of all sorts to march upon the city.
The Engagement
The fighting was short lived, the army broken by the same adventurers who brought the sword and the destruction upon the city.
Outcome
The city of Sorazos was almost completely destroyed, its population laid waste to by the invading forces.
With the forced retirement of Colonel Estevan Arias due to close contact with a dragon, a man from the crew of the Black Reilly stepped into the position, one Dolohov Thermopylae taking both rank and command of the legions of Sorazos.
Aftermath
It will take many years for the people of Sorazos to recuperate, the pyrrhic victory dealing a deadly blow to the city's infrastructure. The land for miles around has been rendered into a marshy wasteland, though thanks in part to the efforts of a man calling himself Balathu, that has been remedied with a wide road towards other settlements such a Makouro, which will hopefully one day be reclaimed. Little contact could be made with the man after his assistance, but Colonel Dolohov Thermopylae stated that this was normal. He would return if he felt it pressing.
With the new governor, the former Colonel Estevan Arias, coming to power, the city seems on its way to a brighter and more prosperous future than under the reign of Sergio Carvallo though it is said he still malingers within the confines of the city.
