The Duke Returns
Three weeks have gone by since Duke Jonathan Tiberion took his forces to find and eradicate the enemies surrounding our great duchy. Early this morning, from the woodline, The Duke and his forces emerged. There was a slow gait about them, that spoke of losses and hardships. A few were limping, some covered in bandages, and others were carrying make shift wooden stretchers for the fallen. All of their armor was stained with either dirt or blood, one could not say which was which. It is said that when the Duke saw the sight of Acarthia in the distance he regained his posture on his steed, and tried to lead his forces back to town with valor and dignity. His loyal subjects followed suit, for they knew that the people needed to see them in this light and not lose hope.
It was learned that evening, as his men gathered at inns and taverns throughout the city, that the last three weeks were hard won, but won nontheless. They had been victorious in routing the forces of Chieftain Dargok. They found the camps of many of the town's assailants and vanquished them for their collective atrocities. Some managed to run away in fear. Many fell. There were a number of losses on both sides, but the camps were ransacked and put to torch, never to be used again. This was truly a victory for Acarthia.
All Hail Duke Jonathan Tiberion! Long may he rule the duchy!
