Chapter 15: Western Supremacy
Chapter 15: Western Supremacy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since their last meeting, the fortunes of the Legion of SpiralHorns and the Raptors of the Nortwest Sea had diverged greatly. In recent days, the Norsemen, who had been soundly routed by the SpiralHorn forces, had dealt a severe blow to the brash Raptors. Meanwhile, the Legion triumphed over the umber clad army that sought to impede the SpiralHorn's march to supremacy.
And so, the final battle for the Western Kingdoms would be fought on the battlefields of the Legion's Homeland. The SpiralHorn warriors stood poised to end the threat of their upstart rivals.
As they waited for their foe, the Council continued to debate the path to victory. Some still whispered the name of the Great Captain, though even his most ardent supporters started to accept that the Legion's future would be decided by his young successor. Others lamented the SpiralHorn's failure to crush their opponents, as they had in times past. The prevailing thoughts of the Council, though, was of the task at hand. Soon the Western conquest would be complete.
In this time, AvengerRam stood apart from the debates. His mood was one of pride in the accomplishments of this headstrong Clan of SpiralHorns, but at the same time a distant echo haunted him. A power was rising in the North, and the name that none cared to utter... a word that harkened back to the greatest defeat of the Golden Age, loomed like a vanguard to the ultimate prize.
The Northern Militia was also on the rise.
But for now, victory in the West was at hand.
