In the Face of Adversity: (Turn 1)
I'll have a brief post up in an hour or two
Definitely keeping us on our toes!
The Tribesmen were wild and un-ordered, slipping into a berserk-like frenzy in battle, and it was this ferociousness that had won the respect of Tavirin. It had been those tribe warriors, who just seasons ago had been the Broken Empire's enemy, who had perhaps saved the nation's offensive. The magics of the Orcs, foulest Necromancy, had failed in the face of the Darkness. There had been no time to adapt another strategy, Tavirin had had to act on pure instincts, forming up the Mechanical Walkers and Warriors into a defensive line as the War-Magi struggled to control their power.

As the Darkness had smashed against the Broken Empire's lines, the danger of the line buckling under the unrelenting horde growing no matter what Tavirin did. As the situation grew more and more dire, horns of war blew across the battlefield and the wild riders of the tribes, the same warriors that had fled into the lands of the Broken Empire in the face of the oncoming Shadow, crashed into the flanks of the Darkness. Fighting with a frenzy, even the foul creatures of the Darkness fell underneath the warriors honed blades.

Invigorated by the arrival of their tribal allies, the Mechanical force of the Broken Empire, supported by the War-Magi, now wielding their Fire and newly learned Earth magic, hit hard against the Darkness, now in disarray. Shattering under the invading force, the Shadow went to run, but it had nowhere to flee, cut down wherever they turned.

As the tribes celebrated long into the night, great bonfires seeming to burn away the shadows that had encroached into the land as volatile alcohol washes away the horrors that they faced, Tavirin took a moment to step away from the celebrations.

Alone with his thoughts, the Forgelord looked out into the night. He had been foolish, the Broken Empire had relied too heavily on the Necromancy of the Orcs, and now that that magic was failing, the Empire was a shadow of it's former might. No more could the Empire be sure of the legions of undead marching in their name, now battles must be won once more by the flesh and steel that had forged the nation so many centuries ago.

Tavirin had seen the reports from across the Broken Empire, and he had felt a part of himself break down when he had seen that only a handful of the Hammerbearer's had survived the grinding conflicts that had consumed the Empire, and Alria as a whole. But that would change, in this new age, Tavirin would raise an army of great warriors that would deserve the name of the Broken Empire.

Turning back to the feasting, Tavirin was about to walk back and join the celebrations when he felt chills run down his spine and saw a dark figure also standing at the outskirts of the encampment. Recognizing Grugar'Tar, Tavirin wearily approached his ally, noticing that for the first time, the Warlock was not flanked by his Lichguard. As the Dwarf approached him, the Orc spoke.

"I was blind. We used our greatest power too often. These foul creatures adapt to whatever they face, that much is clear, we should have hidden our strengths, and now we are without Necromancy."

Tavirin was shocked, the Warlock's voice rang with an emotion that the Dwarf had never heard before in any Orc's voice, let alone one of the most powerful Warlocks. Stunned, Tavirin could barely string together a response.

"You couldn't have known"

"We did know Dwarf. We had heard rumors that this had happened to the nations in the East, but we were too proud, believing ourselves more powerful, too great to be affected by the Darkness' magics. But never again."

I like the idea! I'll look at getting a sheet together and hope the interest grows
I'll get onto that in one moment
I've got a similar dilemma! But I also have my eye on Dark Magic!
@Catchphrase I'm with Legion. If you hightail it east then you should be able to reach allies before the Darkness can catch up with you.
