   Anfalas could stand it no more. And neither could Talahar. The Kings of both countries could not ignore th outcries of the citizens for war and so they yieled and called to war against each other. Both were hoping for a quick and painless war, the Kings thought. But the soldiers on both sides knew better. They had both been in border skirmishes with the Anfalas Ranger and the Talaharan Legion Soldier; they knew this would be a long and bloody war. The armies of Anfalas were smaller, but were more well-kpt, organized into tighter fighting units and adapt to fighting in small groups. The Talaharans were by far larger, but not as well organized. But they were elite in open field and heavy assault tactics. The first met battle was on a small creek bed on the border called by the Talaharans as the Skald River, but by the elves as the Erin River. It didn't matter, for soon they wouldn't care the name, only for their survivals. The battle was short, but bloody. Talaharan archers took position on the west bank while Elvish archers took positions on the east bank. They sent vollies on both sides and it prooved to be useless for the Talaharans who were no match for the well-sighted elves. So they sent heavy calvary across and they were able to push back the archers, but only to meet tight armoured soldiers and they soon lost ground. The Talaharan Commander soon decided to send all the forces rushing in. This tactic worked, using brute force against the Elves, but not without heavy casualties, the elves retreated farther into the woods, and the humans could not go into the forest without coming out looking like a pincussion. The humans withdrawed onto the west bank and set camp. The elves seeking their chance did a nigt attack. It was devasting, but the humans were not surprised, for they had hired wild elves who had lived in the plains of Talahar to help them. This with the power of the humans, in a fight that lasted a night, were able to finally drive back the elves. But on both sides heavy prices had been made. And so both Kings of the country knew this war would be terrible.
   
   The Elvish Commander had heard of the Battle of the Erin, but cared not for it. He was a ruthless and cunning elf, who cared only for victory and nothing for the lives of his men. He had graduated from the Aademy and was indeed the best and the brightest of the commanders of the Anfalas Military. So he was to attack Talahar from the southeastern border with only 5,000 soldiers under his command! That was ridiculous, but orders were orders, and he would be glad to attack the 'fertile' lands of Talahar which was located in the southern part. So, he marched his men off to war. The elvish commander, was a very known nobel and love to how it off to all the other elf nobels. He was a short, but stern elf, with a pale face from too much reading and not getting in the sun and his hair was pale blond, his face sharply elvish. He wore the white armour of the Anfalas Field soldier. Brigandine armour at the best. He was slim and looked skinny, but made of iron. He had a short sword and a long bow with him on his white horse as he moved with the front of the army. His name was Aelric Leithe, and it sparked fear among his men, for they knew him to be a ruthless elf and behind them they called him the damned High Elf, for he indeed was a high elf, and one of the last in all of Anfalas.

   Jean D'Essoms was riding with his 10,000 men, 5,000 elite blade masters and 2,000 elephant riders twenty men on each elephant, 2,000 archers, and 1,000 warg riders. With 2,000 wild elves following behind in the tall grass. With all of a sudden the wild elves had a change of heart and attacked the Anfalas with pure hate the wild elves wee cutting through the Anfalas elves as the elepants stomped them to death. Talaharan archers ent vollies of arrows into the elves.

   Aelric saw many ofhis men fall and he ordered the retreat instantly. They had underestimated the power of the armies of Talahar and so they ran on heels, or galloped in Aelric's case. With his officers into the forest of Andune and into the encampment when which they had left. The survivors ran in and they rushed to the edge of the forest to see where the Talaharans were heading to. They were following them right into the forest, and Aelric saw his moment of glory. He orders the archers to do what they had trained to do. They hid in the trees, high up and when the Talaharans came into range, let the arrows fall. They stopped the Talaharans dead in their tracks and the Elves made a wall of spears inside the forest waiting as more arrows fell into the archers. Then they ordered the charge and slammed into the Talaharans by surprise. They thought it would disrupt them, but the actually started to withdraw. This renwed the hope of the Anfalas soldiers and they pressed on. The Talaharans retreated, and the Anfalas men yelled out victory. But many had fallen. More then half of their 5,000 strong army had been killed, and only a few hundred were actually battle-fit. This would bebad for Aelric, he thought as he ordered the men back to camp. Very bad.

   Jean saw the deadly mistake he had just done to his men and then reformed his ranks and waited for the elves to make their mistake as he had his men out of reach on the plains and was waiting for his military artillery to show up with his ballistas.

8. The War of Andune

   #8

   When the military artillery came he ordered the archers. They lit their arrows with fire and let them go. They fell into the wooden artillery and se them aflame. He then ordered a raid against the confused men. The calvary cut through them and then they rushed back into the forest.

   ooc:Sentinel the men and artillery are out of reach from the arrows and the elves if they came out of the forest they would be out of cover from the trees.
   
   
   
   The men laughed as they saw te arrows fall short of their destination and then when the elves came out into the open they were ambushed by the wild elves that were popping up in different places and shot down the wood elves quickly as they went back down. Then the Talaharan men charged and smashed into the ranks of the elves, their elephant riders still on the top of the hill waiting to be called back down into the heat of battle.

    The wood elves fought savagely, staying in tight formations and groups they fought like packs of wolves and quickly made their way into the forest where they sent another volley who happened to try to get close.

    The wondering demon appers in the battle seen, not fully understanding why this is going on, yet he knew he had to do something. He looked at the people fighting so savagly against the others, and he walked into the middle of it, he just knew that if anyone of those people came to fight him he would be ready. His hand reached for his sword and he looked at all the people, his sword still laid within his sheath, but ready to come out at anytime he needed

    Luthien was riding through the woods on his horse Riverdance behind them and was ammuse at how sloppy the fightinwas on the continent. He had sheathed at his side his family's most treasured sword Blind-Striker which was made by both fairborn elves and the dwarves in which got along on the distant land of Eriador, forthey were considered slaves; humans little better. He had in a pouch on the horses back his bendable bow and on his back his crimson cape. He looked far different than any other humans here fo his skin is golden brown and shows his love of being outdoors. Which on Eriador it rains more than the sun shows. He pulled his horse to a stop near two elves and then asked in his accent.
    May I inquire where I might be?

    The two elves turned around as they had been waiting to be called upon into battle. They looked at Luthien stupidly.
    "Anfalas. Get out of here."
    As the battle raged on the Talaharans were finally beaten back and retreated. The elves roared out victory and started to gather their dead.

    The elvish girl was by a small hut crying as it bruned. Two dead people were otuside, her mother and father. She ignored the man but there was an elf who carried himself so at the back of the elven lines.

    An elf galloped on a horse, his face covered with dirt and his armour with blood. Aelric Leith looked upon this stranger with no interest whatsoever as he slipped from his horse and stood before Luthien
    "And what business do you have, stranger?"

27. The War of Andune

    #27

    He looked at the elf and then said still speaking in elven.

    Aelric shook his head.
    "Th Kings. Why so many questions?"

32. The War of Andune

    #32

    He smiled and then looked at th elf.
    I meen who is the one leading all of you into the battle as you commander.
    He looked around think that these were a different type of elf other than fairborn and realized that when he had become a stowaway on the boat he had arrived on that they did not sail to Montfort instead they sailed to another continent.
    I am new here fairborn and I need know if you are friend or foe?

33. The War of Andune

    #33

    Aelric shrugged
    "I'm an elf, so you can trust me. Unless, if your a spy, we have a problem."
    A unit of soldiers surrounded Luthien in a tight circle, spears pointing towards him.
    "Anything to say? Are you a spy?"

34. The War of Andune

    #34

    He smiled and then his hand fell to the hilt of his sword.
    I can assure you that I am new here fairborn.
    He then quickly drew his blade and knocked tspears away from him.
    And you can trust me that if I become angry from this introdution of your men that you will not like the out looks of it.
    As soon as this was said he twisted his sword around his fingers and sheathed it in the blink of an eye.
    My name is Luthien Bedwyr I am the son of Eorl Gahris of Bedwydrin.
    By this he bowed an then looked back at the fairborn and said.
    What is your name fairborn?

    Aelric looked at the elf and motioned for him to follow him to the encampment that was quickly being formed.
    "My name is Aerlic Leith. Now, for some months, Anfalas and Talahar has been in war against each other over border lands. Fortunately, you came on our little piece of hell and welcome. I believe that the barbaric humans would kill you."

36. The War of Andune

    #36

    He smirked and quickly assembled a bendable bow from his horses pouch and then said.
    Only if they could get close enough.
    He then followed the elf and looked around at their dead and wounded.
    If I may inquire that your men...elves need a doctor.
    After the words were spoken he pulled out a crimson cape and put it around him and put the hood down so he could be seen.

    He shrugged and sighed as he looked around.
    "Alas, I departed Elimirth a week ago with 5,000 soldiers. Now, I have less then 2,000 soldiers, and 500 will never be able to fight again. My Physicians are dead."

38. The War of Andune

    #38

    He then looked around and asked.
    How many did you go up against? And what were they riding that had so much big feet?
    He asked pointing down towards the ground to the huge foot print.

    "Elephants. Comes from the west of the plains where they raise them captivity. They are by far the power behind the armies of Talahar, and right now we are moving all our available forces into them. Haelfroin is moving an army of 15,000 soldiers from the northeast and the Rangers of Elimirth have been activated."
    He said looking at the footprint.
    "I would use our airforce, though our King doesn't want to, not wanting to challenge the Talaharan Air Fleet."

    He looked at the elf and then said.
    You might want to do o because my father has recieved that the Talaharans are in refuge against elves and where I come from that is an outrage and my father has sent twenty thousand able men to come to their aid.
