Hail Folks,
Cousin Dar pleaded with me to send him to defend Luna. As my first love among our cities shall ever be my beloved Trinsic, followed by Lord British' home of Britain, I relented and sent Dar.
His after action report greatly warmed my heart and I include it verbatim:
["Rushing back from Dungeon Doom, I raced to Luna and found numerous folk busy preparing Aid Stations with bandages and food. All manner of Healers to mend and resurrect fallen warriors. Fortifications, emergency travelgates...the work was fast, furious, and extremely well planned.
Intelligence reports proved incredibly accurate as the invaders assault began when expected. Vile creatures of awesome power pressed their attack, seemingly upon all of Luna's gates. Thank goodness and architects for Luna's high walls and parapets. Citizens responded immediately...Archers, Tamers, Mages & Weavers, those flashing blades, mauls, and staffs. Many were forced to retreat from severe wounds, others fell to the sting of death. Yet as fast as they took damage or fell, others healed and dressed wounds and raised animal and combatants who then rejoined the fray.
Finally, the flow of evil creatures began to slow, their ranks to thin, and their commanders, evil Shadowlords were now exposed. The people surged forward, renewed by their chance to slay those behind these vile invasions. At the last, an unholy Lich lord sought to reverse the outcome with fear and fearsome bolts of energy from the skies.
In the end, all of our enemies were slain!!! While natural and expected, the failure of many to calm themselves as Lady Dawn, Knight of the Realm, attempted to report the meaning of our great victory, caused confusion. Folks must still learn when to be rowdy and when calm and order, even silence, is needed. Lady Dawn was then joined by Fayaxion of the Platinum dragons, to commend our efforts and to escort the weary to a distant place, past the Shrine of Spirituality in Ilshenar, teleported by a magical gravestone. Again the crowd was overboisterous, but in reasonably short order rewards were conferred upon the combatants and support soldiers.
While I am still unclear as to whether Shadowlords, Crimson dragons, or Casca are the designers of our misery, it IS clear all of them must be defeated.
We have gained a Great Victory, but our war is yet far from ended.
On a final note, some citizens who took part in the battle failed to arrive in a timely manner at the reward station. I spoke at length with EM Seppo at the end of the day, and passed along several names independently verified to have joined the fray but missed the reward point. After parting from EM Seppo, I learned of at least one more name which I shall convey using the message facility at the

All in all, an awesome display of Community, Valor, Honor, Sacrifice and all of our Lord British' Virtues. From concept to planning to preparation to Victory, all involved have done Britannia and Baja PROUD!]
I implore any who truly participated and missed a reward to seek out EM Seppo. I cannot speak for him. Accept his judgement and let us continue forward. For those who participated not or seek only extra rewards for their other characters, I hope Karma, fate, and your fellow friends rat you out.
For British and For Britannia!!!
