Aloria Story Progression World Event: Battle Of The Curag Fields

So... That was... Confusing...

Vampires HELPING Regalian forces, the statue of FREAKING ESTEL releasing a bombardment of fog creatures, BAVER'S RETURN! So much is happening. You know @MonMarty you might just want to throw in the addition of a dragon or two flying on the battlefield, dropping WTF bombs on everything. It would be a nice touch.
 
Meanwhile, aboard a ship...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finley Walerius stood at the aft of the ship looking out into the distance, a glass of wine in one hand, as the moon hung low in the nighttime sky. Its reflection was beautiful in the glorious crashing waves of the open sea... but not enough to drown out the screams from the battle still freshly echoing in his mind. It was a tactical mishap... his mishap... that lead to the death of so many men... but if he hadn't moved the lines forward, more would have surely perished, surely? "Yes, of course", that sounded right in his mind. As the sea grew ever calmer, a few wisps of mist drifted about across the quiet deck and the roaring dark waves. Most of the crew and men were asleep, or sitting silent, attempting to drown out the fresh memories of the battle.

"So much death", he thought to himself. More so even than in the Chrysant wars. Such a bloody battle, so many lost, such confusion and chaos. The injured, the terrible mangled bodied of the survivors. It was a miracle he had escaped with no more than a few scrapes and bruises. Still though, the threat had not ended. This 'thing' was still out there, somewhere. At this point Finley would sip of the wine, thankful he took the care to bring a bottle along with him. "If this menace returns, where will it be? Will we be able to resist it again?" So many questions... and still the screams of the men echoing in the back of his mind. Such agony didn't rest well, nor did it aide in his finding rest. Such is a price in war, yet still, they sailed 'victorious'. Peace was restored... for now, all that Finley needed concern himself with was his family and business. If only peace of mind came so easily...

Piero di Orazio​
Piero sat up in his bunk on the ship, smiling. He had done well, helped to save the realm from that nasty statue. That is why he keep his faith in the imperial spirit, it helped him to defeat that blasted elven deity. He suspected it wasn't even Estel, just some being impersonating her to get the blasted elves and yanars to side with the criminal. Its not like the empire /needed/ those races though. If only the other tacticians listened to him, and not Neil Black. A single file line, what was the Black thinking? Not all of us want a death wish. An imperial wall, that would have minimized losses. Still, he could sleep soundly know he could have done better, and that he helped to rally fishermen if that were to be needed. It was good for him to serve in the war efforts, keep him feeling young being beside Ulric, Maximilian, and fighting on the same field as the brave William. Many died, but this old man felt as alive as ever.​
 
@Streako was freaking out as he realized the implications of the end of this crazy freaking battle that was going on. It appeared to him as though he had predicted the future with that wonky nightmare he had and asked about in Lore Q&A while still half asleep. Also, was Baver really a good-guy in disguise or merely the lesser of two evils!! Only time will tell, so tune in next time!!
 
Faustina was waiting for three men to return safe from the battle. One to love her, one to forgive her and one to provide her company. Which one was which, she no longer knew. Instead, she just uncorked another bottle and watched as Albert was scaling around the winery, glancing at each and everyone passing by with suspicion.
 
Estella eagerly awaited the return of her loved one, Deimar. While she waited, she uncorked a bottle of Rose wine, took a few sips, and then curled up by the fireplace with a cozy quilt, taking a nice nap.

March Aron Santorski received the orders, as did March Alistair Coen. They commanded their horsemen in line. Aron lowered his helmet visor as another horseman stepped up behind him. He could barely hear the horseman over the battle beyond the hill but he could certainly make out, "The Duke of Zastorzy sends his regards". Aron tried to turn around to look at the horseman, but was cut short with the trumpet signal for the charge.

Totally thought Aron was about to get assassinated @SacredTrout

Also totally blaming you tacticians for leaving our unit orderless for all that time. Finley and I made the rational decision @PariahFolk
Not going to write an IC post as I'll probably write a story once I find the time, but basically Linus went ham on these pale creatures and started taking the charms off their bodies once he saw the dwarf do the same, yey

Let us remember that we both escaped without any major injuries... imagine what would have happened if we just sat there like ducks hehe
 
Neil Black​

Water splashed up to the deck, the boat rocking in the waves. Neil had not seen any of the numerous deaths that had occurred, yet the memory of their screams still held hold. The battle was one disaster after the next. Those monsters, completely unknown to them, had all these surprises that ruined any plan of action the tacticians and him could think of. It was his plan that lead to the death of the majority of the horsemen, but it was the only logical plan given. Whatever those giant beasts were, Neil could say with confidence that no one could expect their interference. It seemed to him that Maximillian and him were the only tacticians who gave any real aid to the battle. Maybe if-

"Neeeeiiiillllll! You didn't bring any rum did you?", exclaimed Chris from the other side of the ship, still staring at the mud the covered the half-Orc's face. With a sigh, Neil returned back to his family to listen to another one of Chris' bizarre thoughts. Perhaps he should bring up the fact that they all fell asleep halfway through the battle.
 
Relveth was sitting in Regalia when he heard news of the battle: Regalia was victorious! He was satisfied that the Regalians didn't screw up, but it was the details of the battle that confused him. They made claims of vampires joining the Regalians to fight, and how mysterious people wielded unnatural magic to fight off the statue. However, it was hearing about the statue claiming to be Estel that mystified him the most. Estel had died during the Cataclysm, this would have to be an imposter. No matter, this would not stop him from his exploration trip to the Seraph Ruins.
Who knows, he might find something useful about this supernatural army while he was there.

*wasn't fighting because I missed the application deadline because of irl*
 
Could you say that they even obtained, say, a dagger, or other things from the enemies? I was going to apply Azthis but then I saw that they were no longer accepting applications :(
 
When you finally read this part of lore but realize you made the stupidest decisions to make your most important character die.
god damnit i'd do anything to resurrect charles
