Siege of Warrington.

The Conflict

Prelude

The Usurper Tatiana secured the Oswary Throne and began to amass an army to march onto the rest of the Oswary Islands, the port cities of Sanguine and Cold Harbor where quickly assimilited underneath her new banner - valuing their lives over open conflict with the hordes of undead.
These cities offered their fleets and provisions to her, either out of fear or belief in the regime it has yet to be determined.

Over two hundred vessels headed south and surrounded the City of Warrington, initially under the guise of peace Tatiana entered the city and demanded her throne be recognized and Warrington under her rule. To her dismay the people refuted her offer and found themselves engaged in a heated battle within the center of the city with her undead entourage - however she, and many of the civilians did not expect the college to release their own horde, the Machinations upon her. She was forced to flee and the Machinations became the Curators of the city, assisting in repairs and defence they erected a massive pillory in the center of the city that nullifies all manner of magics from entering or exiting the city.

Deployment

Gathering her forces at Deadmans Keep, once known as Calahain, she placed Father Osmium in charge of maintaining her forces, both living and undead, before making her return to the Frozen Throne.

Father Osmium dispatched his undead legions against Warrington and has entered a stalemate between forces while he explored other options and distabalized Wakehead Cay, and devasted Lamware Warf. His inevitable defeats against the Triboar Travelers has driven him back to Deadmans Keep and now has placed his full attention to breaking the barrier or Warrington.

Battlefield

Just beyond the shielded wall nearly four thousand undead stand, unwaivering and unmoving waiting for a moment where the wall of radiant magic falls so they can press their advantage into the city.

Conditions

The people of Warrington have become self sufficient within their bubble, with few refugees and many of the surviving people have relied on the teachings and knowledge of the College to keep themselves afloat - making advancements in agriculture and weaponry in leaps and bounds.

The Engagement

Once the Barrier was erected, Osmiums forces have been unable to penetrate the wall - however the same goes for the Curators of Warrington, only small groups of Machinations have penetrated the wall at a time to replenish the guard forces at key strategic locations known as the Pillars of Pelor;

Show spoiler

The Pillars of Pelor are deployed to substain the magic of the barrier around Warrington, and if they should fall the city would not be far behind.
