Ridgemot Massacre

Military action

A dark day in Human history, for a race that prides itself on being strong, honourable and proud, the massacre was one of the most shameful events in recent history...

The King gathered a group of his soldiers, the toughest and most brutal fighters. He led them to the town hall, had the all the military prisoners brought to the hall and ordered his men to start executing them, the hall held around 100 so the King began, killing over 60 people at a time, some soldiers at first hesitated but he ordered them to kill without question. He told them it would win the war and it was a King's order. The soldiers started to obey and cut down Northern soldiers, knights and even Lords. Eventually the king sent for the Jarl. Hanlin entered blindfolded and was shocked at what he saw when they removed it. He broke down in tears and anger, swearing by all the Gods the King would die for this. The King approached, calmly, he drew his sword and kicked Hanlin down on his front, Hanlin spat at the King that an honourable man fights his enemies rather than having his soldiers cut their throats. The King screamed at the Jarl that the North had lost, but the Jarl looked calm, almost content. Hanlin spoke softly as the King beheaded him... "You will die for this"
