Victory at the Corsith Ford

The armies of Acarthia marched into battle on Saturday at the Corsith Ford, a river crossing near the northern border of the kingdom. The undead forces of Dreadrot, having terrorized Garthok, have moved southward towards Acarthia, where they were intercepted by the allied forces of the kingdom and several other neighbors. As the battle took place on the Corsith, the Baron General utilized riverboats to pound undead forces to dust with shipboard catapults, ballistae and other, usually naval weaponry reserved for ship to ship combat. Forces hailing from the Foothills and Aspen woods assisted in containing the undead, as they withdrew westward toward the Yalinth Hills. Members of the Vigilant, and even a few specialized fighters from beyond the mists pursued the undead as the main force prepared to move westward.

Scouting reported the undead regrouping as the sun began to set, and Acarthian forces returned to camp, to fortify and weather the coming onslaught from the spectral undead that cannot be present during the days battle. Vigilant and individuals representing the Vex Mortis of Aetheria, along with the the Order of the Shadow were posted to support the night watch. While the spectral undead did come, they did not come in significant number, suggesting Dreadrot is holding them back for an opportune time.

As to the northern neighbors in Garthok, the news is dark. Dreadrot, having scattered the forces of Garthok to the surrounding mountains, has occupied a space near the central valley within the freehold, and fortified his position, leaving a contingent of troops there as he continues southward toward Acarthia.

The victory at the Corsith Ford has invigorated our troops, and given them hope that Acarthia can stand against such an implacable foe as an undead horde.
