Battle of Doun

The Count Roland of Corell led a meager host of 5,000 against his principle rival, Bouldan, in what was later known as the Confederation Wars. Bouldan field a host of nearly 10,000 and marched forward to meet him in the Marshes of Doun. Roland, outnumbered nearly two to one, knew already how Bauldan's numbers would lead them to overconfidence, and baited them deep into the dire thickets of Doun.

Bauldan's generals were as bodacious as Roland had hoped, and used their Battlemages to Will the swamp into a fair ground, giving their ground forces a stronger chance against their inferior enemy.

Roland, a constant ally of the Gods, was given a vision of this tactic, and waited for the advance of his adversary. His 12 Knights, skilled in the ways of Magic, waited until the Bauldan forces advanced, and Willed away the Magic of Roland's adversary. Bauldan's host immediately found themselves stricken by the quagmires of Doun, and Roland advanced his host to overwhelm and rout the forces of Bauldan.

Very quickly a siege of the city-state of Bauldan followed, and suddenly through the 12 Knights was found a tunnel under the thick walls of Bauldan. Following a nasty fight in the trenches, Roland and his host quickly moved through and sacked the city.
