Drake Commune's surprise war against Elkinhold

This surprise war was declared by the Drake Commune during The First Hunt soon after the hunt's victory was eminent. Elkinhold couldn't deploy enough troops on this front to defend against the forces of Drake Commune due to the capital's siege.

Seems like we're late.

— An unknown Inquisitor

Elkinhold's reinforcements were slain by the Inquisitors, who halted once they met with the Soldiers of Drake Commune and waited several days for an order. Eventually they were ordered to defend their claims but not advance towards Dragonír, avoiding increasing the scale of the war.

The Conflict

Prelude

Seeing Elkinhold losing a war for the first time, the Drake Commune jumped on the opportunity to increase their territory.

Deployment

Slow and chaotic, the Soldiers of the commune weren't ready to march.

Battlefield

Conditions

The battle of Dragonír was only reinforced by the Drake Commune due to the hunt's march from behind cutting off the reinforcements of Elkinhold.

The Engagement
