The Battle of Allerton
Military: Battle

Sola's Vanguard and Duke Brennar Hayford's parties, having met on the road, were greeted together by ser Kyra Crowler on the steps outside of Allerton Castle.
As they made to enter the castle, however, they were set upon by men-at-arms in the livery of House Hayford of Haycastle. Amongst the casualties were ser Sola Somercrag, who took a crossbow bolt to the eye in the initial ambush.
Those on the steps soon found the doors to the keep shut before them and the gate out from the courtyard to the city shut behind them, with soldiers advancing on them from all sides.
Over the course of the battle it became clear that, despite the Hayford livery, the aggressor soldiers were a combination of hired brigands, mercenaries, and the men-at-arms of House Crowler itself.
Not for the first time, Mattheo Foxworth proved his initiative by leading a small party, including ser Tyon Cray, ser Arthur Buckhaill, ser Astris Conklyn and ser Ivvar Bonebrake in battling to the top of the walls to take out the crossbowmen raining down bolts on the beleaguered knights and taking control of the castle's gatehouse to open an avenue of escape.
Later in the battle the same group fought their way to a servant's door on the keep, battling through the kitchen, the great hall and eventually reaching the main entryway just as Duke Brennar, ser Boggs Leonhart, ser Elton Slaite and ser Sola Somercrag herself finally managed to break down the front door, pinning the last of the castle's defenders between them.

Sola's Vanguard Encounter ser Edam Bracks at Eastlake
Population Migration / Travel

While Sola's Vanguard camped on the Western shore of Eastlake, ser Tyon Cray discovered a battered, ragged man shadowing their camp.
This turned out to be ser Edam Bracks, Duke Brennar Hayford's Marshal, who had been missing since The Battle of Allerton.
He revealed that he had been captured by ser Kyra Crowler alongside ser Edgarth Hayford, Duke Brennar's son.
They had been transported by boat to Tayach Dam, from which ser Edam had just escaped. He was wracked with guilt that he had fled the castle before he could rescue ser Edgarth.
ser Sola Somercrag and ser Tyon decided to split the Vanguard - a small party to accompany ser Sola, ser Edam and Duke Brennar to the capital with all the haste they could muster to stand before the queen, and the greater part to accompany ser Tyon in riding to Tayach Dam to rescue ser Edgarth and, if she is still there, arrest ser Kyra Crowler for her treasons.
