Winter's Red Season

Military action

The Tautans and the H'ilaks were both two small tribes and have known each others as enemies for generations. The Tautans, known for their long heights and their thick and wide arms mastered themselves with the use of battle axes. While the H'ilaks on the other hand prefered taking out their enemies from a long range with poorly yet deadly crafted bows, and when the enemy got close to them, they take out their small swords to engage them at close combat. Both tribes had one common enemy, one of the largest tribe for it's time, known as the Ra'Liraks.

Both the Tautans and the H'ilaks avoided fighting each other for years and by doing so, also avoiding any contact. Both tribes made allegiances with smaller tribes through diplomacy or even by force. Both the tribes had two reasons for doing this. One, to become bigger which make other tribes scared to engage them and the second one is to fight against the Ra'Liraks.

In the end of the year 497, when it's land had never felt so much snow on top of it's grass, the Tautans were standing with a massive army, consisting of approximately twelve tribes, all pledged alliance to the Tautans. They were standing in front of the base of the Ra'Liraks, the camp was fillied with unlimited amount of poorly created huts. The Ra'Liraks, known for their savagery and barbarism ways of slaying their enemies, stood there on top of the hills, mocking their enemies.

A few hours later, footsteps were heard from the distance and on the other side the H'ilaks stood near the base of the Ra'Liraks with approximately fifteen tribes that joined them. It is said, that the chieftain of the Tautans and the H'ilaks were staring at each others eyes for roughtly two hours long before they launched the battle. Even thought the Tautans and the H'ilaks shared the same enemy, they were also slaughtering each other when they came across each other.

This event is known as the Winter's Red Season as the battle lasted roughly two weeks with reinforcements joining from the three factions at every day. Stories tell that the snow within and outside the base of Ra'Liraks was turned into red and that the smell of corpses and blood made men go mad.
