~ Hope Fails ~

The armies of fear have overtaken the defenders of Gukta. In a battle that lasted for more than a day, the swamp water of Innothule filled red with blood and Grobb is now home to the Trolls once again. The allied forces lay dead. Those that have escaped have taken refuge in nearby allied encampments to tend their wounds.

The hammers of justice were shattered upon Ykesha's mighty blades," muttered one wounded soldier. "It was a close battle, but the allied forces were no match for a warlord reborn. The morale of the evil army remained fueled by fear and hate, every swing of Ykesha's blade and every move the Trolls made struck fear in the hearts of Froglok, Human, Northmen and all the races of the allied forces. Every allied troop that fell fueled the hatred of the Teir'Dal. It was like a snowball rolling down the slopes of Everfrost, growing more unstoppable as it rolls down. Once hope gave out to fear, the Trolls and the Dark Elves were unstoppable, growing more powerful with each attack."

Our hearts go out all of the defenders of Gukta, may you be forever honored for your brave sacrifices. None of the free races of Norrath will be able to sleep easy in the coming days. The armies of evil have struck and have won this battle. Will they strike again? Whatever it may be, we will stand against the great injustices in this world with the Tribunal and Marr at our side.
