The mighty castle Wallstein, once a symbol of power and strength, now stands in desolate ruins, a haunting testament to the overwhelming might of the Glurnser army. The tall, imposing walls and sky-reaching watchtowers, designed to withstand any siege, crumbled swiftly under the Glurnsers' relentless assault, advanced weaponry, and superior numbers. The defenders' valiant efforts were not enough to stave off the inevitable. Wallstein’s fall left the flank open, paving the way for the conquest of the proud city of Martsch.
Cowardice and a lack of reinforcements from Martsch doomed this proud fortress. The Glurnser troops now occupy Wallstein, transforming it into their stronghold. Nearby villagers whisper tales of the devastating defeat and the treacherous fall of their once mighty castle.
The tragedy was compounded by the ignoble actions of Lord Wallstein, who fled the siege, abandoning his defenders and civilians. His cowardice left them to face the brutal onslaught alone, sealing their fate and leading to immense loss of life. Lord Wallstein’s whereabouts remain unknown, his name now forever tarnished with treachery and disgrace.
The Glurnsers' victory serves as a stark warning of the dangers of complacency in the face of a powerful enemy. The castle’s fall underscores the vital importance of strong leadership and the dire consequences when leaders fail their people.
Whispers of lost souls wandering the dark, haunted hallways persist. Brave souls who, despite their courage, could not overcome an enemy that outnumbered and outmatched them.
