| By the time the horde reached [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:nidaross|Niðaróss]], it had already taken [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:thydal|Þýdal]], [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:gressli|Gressli]], [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:mebonden|Mebonden]], and [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:stormroost|Stormroost]]. Refugees crowded behind the walls with townsfolk, warriors, smiths, spellcasters, and children who had already learned the sound of running from fire. [[campaigns:latitude_history:characters:asgeir-axelson|Ásgeirr Axelson]] called the defenders together and named them the shieldwall of the fjordgate. | By the time the horde reached [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:nidaross|Niðaróss]], it had already taken [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:thydal|Þýdal]], [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:gressli|Gressli]], [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:mebonden|Mebonden]], and [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:stormroost|Stormroost]].

| The first blows fell from the east and northeast. Giants, orcs, goblins, and siege engines came against palisade, longhouses, towers, and traps. The newly built refugee longhouses outside the eastern wall became bait and delaying ground. [[campaigns:latitude_history:characters:shadow-animus|Shadow Animus]] scouted from rooftops, [[campaigns:latitude_history:characters:kris-stormblade|Kris Stormblade]] carried warnings through the mind, and fighters pulled back only when the pressure became too much. On the wall, songs, arrows, spells, stones, and lightning answered the horde. | The first blows fell from the east and northeast.
