The Chronicles of the Emerald coast - 1821ic

Matthias Kahn - Observer from Blessed Tower

Spring 1821c

•  The Chaos Dwarves deploy three banners in Belburg, and a fourth north of Linburg, whilst the Empire deploys 3 banners around Linburg and 3 at the fortress of Drakenfell.
• Chaos Dwarf Hobgoblin Assassins strike at the 3rd Levy stationed neared Linburg, killing a Wizard and the armies General.
• An Empire assassin strikes, killing 200 points of Chaos dwarves around Linburg.
•  First month of the year the Empire pushes the Chaos dwarves back toward the Sea Elves enclave, the Chaos dwarves engage in a scorched earth policy razing settlements on the way, securing baggage to prepare for the coming siege at Dunmar. 

The Chaos Dwarves retreat towards Dunmar, razing settlements in preparation for a siege.

• 2 Banners of the Chaos dwarves move into assault the fortress of Drakenhelm (fortress on left), whilst a 3rd Holds Belburg (orange roof city). The two Empire Banners on the Left moved to defend the Drakenhelm fortress in a field battle whilst the 3rd banner besieges the City of Belburg. If the Chaos dwarves lose this fight they'll be pushed back and have to fight the Empire force besieging Belburg.

The battle of Drakenhelm will be split into 2 battles North and South, simply I did not have enough models to fight a 3500 point battle.

The Survivors

• The conclusion of these two major battles caused a great upset within the Cragbeard clan, the consequences of which I will address in my next chronicle.
