Battle of King's Brunt

The Battle of King's Brunt was the smallest battle in Eian history involving two warring sides and also the most famous. It was a small-scale siege fought between the dwindling crew of Amberfern Loyalists, led by Tias I Amberfern, and The Ignasdiate by Kerrun Riksilver and sanctioned by Primonarch Riven I Staigus over a single Winter day in 1773. The usurper Primonarch intended to kill or capture Tias on account of high treason and terrorism, neither of which were justified allegations. With the world's resources and population running low, he sent out a small force of 600 poorly armed soldiers to surround the Loyalists' safe-house and intimidate them into surrender, led by Kerrun in order to bait Tias out.

Tias and his Loyalists, including Twin, were holed up in the old fortress with excellent vantage points over the approaching enemy, shielded by enormously thick stone walls that were impenetrable by most weaponry. They were significantly outnumbered, but they themselves outgunned The Ignasdiate. With an arsenal of arcbalests and enough ammunition, they had a long range advantage over the enemy.
