There is very little said or written about the battle between South Glory and the Anvil Stroke. No, I assure you there was one; I was there. It wasn't a set piece battle, is why you didn't hear about it. People from the walled camp fled north and west, into the trenches around Rakkal's Glory.
There was a second section of wall missing from around the top, but other than that the walls stood strong.
From the outside, where you couldn't see the political infighting going on inside, it looked like they might just stand there forever. The debris of siege engines showed the Thornies hadn't been idle, but they'd clearly been repulsed. Perhaps more than once.
I'll be honest; I'm not sure whether the Battle of the Anvil is going to be one chapter or two, but I'm aiming for the latter. We'll see what I manage.
As always, thank you for your continued readership, it is worth more than a refreshing rain after a prolonged dry spell.
