Northmen Send Aid

Rivervale Voice:: }-------------------------} Vol. 9 No. 8 ~ Northmen Send Aid ~

While most of the cities of Norrath look to their own defenses or are too far away to send aid quickly, the Northmen have taken brave action against the evil army of Warlord Ykesha and his new Clan Ykesha.

An elite force of Barbarians made a brave attempt to breach the siege and render aid to the Frogloks. Their assault on the forces of Warlord Ykesha, who now calls himself The Grozmok, was ferocious and fearless. At first, according to one survivor, they thought that they might be able to break the Troll army.

We had them near ta runnin'. Each Troll we killed looked less confident than the last. Then He came up to the front. He was massive, bigger than any three of us put together. He cut us down like we were made of soft snow. Even then we didn't break. We rallied and fought to the end. I'm ashamed to have lived when so many of my kinsmen fell. Some nasty Dark Elf snuck up on me and clobbered me when I was fightin'."

Accounts of the damage dealt to the Troll army are wildly speculative, but the Northmen were wiped out nearly to a man. The Rivervale Voice and joins the citizens of Rivervale in honoring the loss of the brave men and women of the north.

When asked about Rivervale sending military aid to the Guktans, we were told by Mayour Gubbin:

I wish we could help them, but we have to look out for our own people. We live near those evil creatures and we have to be concerned that they might send more forces out of Neriak to assault Rivervale. We have started an effort to provide food to the Frogloks if we can gather enough and find a way to deliver it, but unfortunately that's all we can spare at this time."
