Asking any lord about the battle itself they'll reply: "Well, that's what some people call The Great Battle of Pendraic in the year 1077. Emperor Neretzes led an accompanied army of Khuzaits and Aserai to fight a coalition of Sturgians, Battanians and Vlandians. It was a disaster for him - he died in it - the survivors didn't fair much better."

Asking again they'll give their perspective.

"Yes. I was tasked by Derthert with command of the crossbowmen. Our knights spotted a mass of Aserai light infantry spread across a valley, and charged them. They weren't ready to meet the onslaught, and were routed. But then a bunch of Khuzaits showed up and kept their distance, giving the knights a hard time, shooting their horses out from under them. That's when we showed up.

When it was just us fighting the horse archers, we were winning.. A man on foot can shoot as well or better than a man on horseback, all things being equal, and there were a lot more of us. So they started to go down and galloped off. The knights of course pursued, and that's when the problems started.

Imperial cataphracts showed up, armored head to foot and their horses too, so they just ignored our shooting and tore right through us. I was swept away in the retreat and saw no more of the battle. King Derthert had a good enough plan but the barons - Ingalther, Aldric, that lot - ignored him, as they always do."


Ingalther

"I was there. I was just a young squire then. I have heard no sweeter music than the thunder of our hooves as we bore down on the Aserai rabble. We fell on them like a falcon plunges upon a rabbit.

They had overextended themselves, chasing The imperial archers. Light foot before our Knights, there was no contest. Let me tell you something, nine-tenths of victory is recognizing when your enemy has made a mistake. The rash perish as swiftly as the weak, and deserve it just as much.

We should have gone on to seize all of the Western Empire. If Derthert had any manhood, we’d have done so. But his heart was never in the war. He believed he’s broken his oath to the Empire by helping the Sturgians, and it gnawed at him. He'd have made a fine lackey. Instead he’s our king.”


Caladog

"I am a busy man, but there is always time to talk about the blessed battle of Pendraic. Our dear old beloved King Aeril, a wonderful man but with a heart perhaps just a might too tender, did not wish for us to go off to war. But then he disappeared and I, his son-in-law, ascended to the kingship. The clans cried out for war! They had a hundred years of crimes against them to avenge. I, a father to my people, gave them what they wanted.

Now, the Empire uses tricks and traps in war. No Battanian fears to meet an imperial soldier, man-to-man, but we thought it would be a good laugh to use their tricks against them. So we laid an ambush, on both sides of a wooded pass, and wouldn't you know? They marched right into it.

They turned and twisted as our arrows rained down upon them, like fish going frantic in a pond as you draw the net tighter. Then, when they were greatly discomfited, we took up our falxes and swords and reaped the harvest. Oh, there was some unpleasantness later with the Sturgians, about the spoils of war, but what a grand old day it was!"


Melidir

"Well... King Caladog's great victory... Who would dare say anything to tarnish its shine? King Aeril disappeared while hunting, and Caladog becomes king. He leads the tribes to war. Oh, we were eager enough, even though Aeril had made a truce with the Emperor, sealed by oaths. When we were dazzled with the prospect of vengeance, who cares about our sacred word and honor?

The ambush... Masterfully planned and executed, that none can deny. But I will also not deny that the Sturgians fought the main body of the imperial forces, and the Vlandians fought their famous cavalry, so I don't think the greatest glory went to the sons of Battania.

At the end of the day, what have we gained? The Sturgians hate us worse than ever. The Vlandians too. The Empire, I suppose, is shattered. What can I say... I believe that wars should have a goal. But I am a minority, it seems, among our people."


Ergeon

"Ah... For any son of Battania, there will be no prouder moment in his life than that day. Any true son of Battania, anyway. Look, right before the battle, our high king, Aeril, disappears. And his adopted son Caladog becomes king. That sets tongues to wagging, you know? But let me tell you - old Aeril could never in his life won such a victory as did Caladog, that day.

We waited for them, like wolves in the wood, as their vanguard came up the winding road. They came without archers to protect them. Caladog blew his horn, and our bowmen fired on them from all sides. They turned their shields one way, and were hit from the other. A glorious thing to watch...

When they were all good and addled like frightened sheep, running this way and that, the rest of us warriors descended upon them with our falxes and swords. I cleaved this way and that. I took 12 heads, and mine was far from the greatest catch. Ah, the grandchildren tire of me telling this story..."
