The Castle of Slezkh

In the lands of Calradia, by the river of Pirash, stands the castle of Slezkh upon the hilly and snowy lands of Curaw. Built by King Burelek of the Vaegir Kingdom, to serve  as a gate against the north, which it did for many centuries. It was a fairly calm and insignificant castle and did not endure many battles in its younger days.

But everything changed the day the Duke of Slezkh, Micah the Dreamer, woke up by the sound of warbells being alarmed, whom then looked out his bedroom window and witnessed a dark nightmare. A vast foreign horde from the Sarradak Desert, lead by King Vovka and his lords, have approached the Duke's castle, and were preparing a siege.

Like a nightmare they came out of nowhere.

The Duke of Slezkh, Micah, in his sheer desperation, ordered for the first time in his life the warhorns to be blown, and the pigeon messengers to be sent to every Count, Duke, Prince and King in the Cold Front Alliance, urging for reinforcements.

Kinngrimm, King of the Wolves, Leader of the Cold Front Alliance, organized his allies and saw to it that reinforcements were sent to Slezkh Castle under the command of Tervel, of Sovereignty of Aegis.

Under the command of Tervel, the reinforcements marched towards Slezkh Castle.

As the reinforcements swiftly approached the Castle a couple of days later, they saw the once calm and proud Castle of Slezkh broken and conquered, and had unrecognized banners flying high upon the keep and walls.

The Castle had already fallen to the enemy. Commander  Tervel was too late.

As the commander of the reinforcements Tervel, saw that his fellow brethren had been defeated  and the loss of Slezkh Castle, he furiously ordered his men to attack. Resulting in a bloodbath for Commander Tervel, whom lost his entire army that day.

The reinforcements charged with all force, trying to retake
the castle.

For many weeks thereafter, various factions charged into the fray, trying to reclaim the castle several times - But to this day, the broken and battered castle far from home for King Vovka, remains in his control and flies his banners high upon the keep.

A castle that stood tall, for several weeks, barely reinforced. Massacring foe after foe, is truely what I would call the first wonder of Caladria.

To this day, are the Druzhina troops defending the Castle of Slezkh.

I wanted to try and storify Strategus a little bit, and Im not taking any sides here or trying to glorify any side. But I do admire how Slezkh castle has managed to hold for so long completely destroying its enemies. If I got any names wrong, or something similar feel free to comment and I'll control the story again.

Thank you for reading this

wow this is epic

As both a former Conqueror and Holder of Slezkh Castle, that thing is a BITCH to attack. If Defenders hold the back side efficiently, the only thing that can bring it down is Catapults. Oh, also, from the Attacker's spawn, the tower that faces them and has an outcropping around it--you focus that tower as it is fairly weak, and once it's down, it's the best way in. It does that little phantom gimmick.


Slezkh Castle can defend against an army of 1500 with 800-1000 well armed and well trained men.
