Some of the details of this post have been disputed and will be reworked shortly. Please disregard information about troop deployments around Silverhill.

Zamorak's Union Advances

Surprisingly, given how long ago they set out the Zamorakian forces did not reach Silverhill before the White Knights or the returning survivors of the raid on Fort Valance but the defenders soon learned why. Abandoning the hundred strong heavy artillery division, the remainder of the 2,000 troops being sent to secure the fort were now diverted after it's destruction. Instead freed of the slowest elements of their army, they undertook a forced march to rejoin the rest of the main force. When the army arrived at Silverhill it numbered a full 4,800 strong.

The army was comprised thus:

- 50 Blood Guard
- 400 Black Guard
- 1,400 Dark Legion
- 800 Red Legion
- 450 Heavy Cavalry
- 350 Light Cavalry
- 1,200 Light Artillery
- 150 Heavy Artillery

Unless interrupted the army would then move to take up the following positions around the city:

- The main army would position itself south of the city out of range of any artillery
- Pillars baring teleblock glyphs would be positioned in a wide circle around the city. The positions of most of these would be well hidden except where the main army had control.
- Several units of the Red Legion and the Black Guard would be deployed into the woods surrounding Silverhill, taking up ambush positions around the city.
- Several units of cavalry would set up patrol routes around the perimeter of the city "The greatest endeavors are achieved because of their selfless intent"

From the Ashes

-It was quiet here now. The gentle silence of a fort abandoned by all was strangely calming, the only sounds that of the wildlife, just beginning to make their first efforts at recolonizing the forgotten space. The gate was smashed, the huge wooden palisade, burned black as charcoal, the stone buildings dilapidated and covered in layers of ash and soot-

-In a flash of red light of figure appeared at the center of the fort. A military gentlemen by appearances, clad in heavy blue armor with red highlights. At his belt his sword seemed to smolder in it's sheath, the air distorting around it, like a paved road on a hot summer's day.-

-The figure took a few moments to take in his surroundings, noting with some disdain the damage caused by fire and battle. But soon he refocused on his real objective and strode briskly over to few scraps that remained of a overlarge suit of armor and examined them critically. After this critique he raised a strange devise on his right wrist up to his lips-

"Field test 137 concluded. According to recordings of the battle the Colosus Drone design performed significantly better when alone against multiple opponents than previous tests of the War and Service models. Note that final destruction came at the hands of repeated crushing attacks from mace weapons, which proved more effective than most bladed weapons would have. Despite the prohibitive costs I am ordering our Research and Development division to look into options for strengthening the outer shell using alternate metals or alloys."

-Lord Pyro paused for a moment before continuing-

"Due to the surprising success of this model I am also ordering an immediate verification of all remaining Colosus Drones that have been created. From now on they are to be guarded more closely. At all costs Drone 666 must not be permitted to obtain this design as the consequences would be disastrous."

"Hmm a pity about the fort." he remarked, lowering his wrist as he did so.

"Still what was done by fire."

-Lord Pyro placed his left hand on the hilt of his sword, which now seemed to glow even within it's sheath. With his right he reached out and then in his outstretched palm ignited a bright white flame that danced just in front of his hand.-

To Duke Arthan

In response to your campaign against the zamorakians and the subsequent seige it has provoked, the council of Zamorak's Union formally requests to parley with your representative. We propose that you meet our representative outside the city gates.

A letter would be sent to the ruler of Asgarnia. In overly fancy handwriting it would read the following.

HRAH! GREETINGS KING PERSON! I BE BONAR YAKSPLITTER! YES! MAKING FIGHT PLACE BE BONAR! FOR FIGHTING ENJOYMENT OF ALL! WANT TO MAKE MAGIC ROCK IN KINGDOM DOES BONAR! TO SEND MIGHTY WARRIORS TO FIGHT PLACE TO MAKE FIGHT! HRAH!

- BONAR YAKSPLITTER! (Dictated by Bonar and penned by an assistant as Bonar cannot read or write.) HRAH!

A letter would be sent to the ruler of Asgarnia from Camelot. It was sealed with the mark of the kyzaj.

To the illustrious ruler of Asgarnia and Falador,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you from the War Keep in Camelot. Know that Camelot has been under the rule of House Mordeaux and our Bandosian forces for some time now. Fear not we are not some simple warband seeking to destroy and pillage all. We are returning to the old ways of our faith. Should you or your country have need of the overwhelming strength of the Bandosians do come visit. You can form a contract with us and purchase superior forces for war from us.

Duke Arthan,

I write to you with a heavy heart. My dear, sweet husband, Prince Jacob, was stolen from, taken by Lord Pyro. He's being held for ransom. Lord Pyro's terms are simple: make peace between you, his people, and the Zamorakians. I urge you to consider, for the sake of my husband and the kingdom. I pray you see wisdom and offer you these words from the Book of Light.

"In yielding do we find succour, and strength with the new dawn."

Addressed to the entity known as the 'Council of Zamorak's Union' and the one known as 'Pyro'

It has come to my understanding, as your army makes camp before the walls of my city, that you are responsible for the abduction of His Royal Highness the Prince Jacob, the Queen's husband; and furthermore, Her Majesty relays that it is in your interest to make peace between you and I. I shall state firstly that I have no intention, nor the desire, to prolong our dispute than is necessary and secondly that I shall, under no circumstances, voluntarily surrender my home and my people to you, so long as I breathe. As such I shall not parlay with you this day nor any time foreseeable, while present conditions remain as they are; yet in the pursuit of a state of peace between us, I offer recourse upon a set of obligations met by yourself and your forces.

In order to persuade me of your intentions for peace, I, the Duke of Lassaria, obligate you to meet these provisions, as stated, within a period of two weeks:

•) To return His Royal Highness Prince Jacob healthy, unharmed and devoid of any manner of jeopardy to his well-being

•) To forfeit Fort Valence unto the protection of His Grace the Duke of Lassaria

•) To recall all manner of armaments and forces loyal to and in the possession of Zamorak's Union as well as the one known as 'Pyro' from the province of Blackmarch

•) To cease all hostilities until such a time as discussions of peace can be held; to ensure the integrity of this provision, the campaign against the Kinshra order shall be suspended so long as the conditions proposed herein are met as stated.

His Grace, Arthan,
Duke of Lassaria Hi, I'm Dan.

To Duke Arthan of Lassaria

Your terms are as unacceptable as your mistaken assumption that you are somehow in a superior bargaining position. Perhaps I am simply getting old but it does seem as if Asgarnian leadership is entirely populated by fools. Or perhaps it is because you are uncertain of my resolve in this matter though that would be no less foolish if it is the case. Nevertheless let me make my position absolutely plain to you. My demands are as follows:

- Fort Valance will be gifted to the Kinshra as was always intended
- Kinsport is the be rebuild and placed under the control of the Kinshra
- The Kinshra will be afforded an embassy within Falador and granted a seat on the ruling council
- Your forces will disarm and be dispersed before any troops from my army withdraw from the region
- You who have laid claims upon too vast a territory within Asgarnia will cede claims to all territories outside of Lassaria and other noble Houses from those regions will take control of them under the rule of your Queen.

If you do not accept these terms immediately I will have no choice but to order an assault on your city. This will trigger a full scale war with Asgarnia in which thousands will lose their lives. Rest assured that we are prepared for that conflict and confident of ultimately obtaining all that I have demanded. If you do accept send a reply within three hours and the White Knights reinforcements you have received within ten hours. They will be disarmed and allowed to return to Falador unharmed as the first step in your disarmament.

Regards
Lord Pyro "The greatest endeavors are achieved because of their selfless intent"

Recruiting advertisements for a seemingly new Mercenary company popped up posted around high traffic areas in Misthalin and Asgarnia. They bore a gold seal of this new company, along with various artwork of soldiers. At the middle of the posters read:

"Any man looking for coin or renown should seek out blue armored recruiters at any tavern."

Recruiters were indeed posted up at many taverns. Promise of coin, equipment, and glory was touted to any that inquired. All backed by a mysterious proprietor, but the men appeared well off, donning new sets of steel blue-hued armor, so the offers certainly appeared serious. Before turning in each day, the recruiters would be sure to replace any missing or defaced posters with new ones.
