It appears there is a traitor or traitors hidden among Queen Rosaline's army. The first evidence of this came about during a failed assassination attempt made against the Queen, in which an explosion was set off just outside her tent, killing several of her personal bodyguards. Eyewitness accounts suggest that a White Knight attempted to gain access to the tent but was intercepted by the Queen's bodyguards before they could get inside. Upon being stopped by the guards, the knight exploded.
Upon closer inspection it has been determined that this knight was in fact a drone (animated suit of armor) sent by Lord Pyro. An investigation into how the drone was able to infiltrate the camp so easily turned up a sent teleorb that had been hidden in a remote area of the camp to allow the drone to be teleported in discretely. Whether or not any more were teleported in at the same time is unclear but what is certain is that someone within the camp itself planted the device.
In a potentially related incident, the Queen would receive a new intelligence report the day after the attack from one of Jacob Delvar's spies with Lord Pyro's organisation. The report would detail orders for a shipment of gold to be sent to Camelot along with a letter from Lord Pyro to the Bandosian Warlord Tonya Mordeaux.

Lord Pyro I
As agreed I am sending the shipment of 25,000 gold pieces to you for your help thus far. As you have rightly pointed out the fault does not lie with you that the operation was not a success so I will be paying the full amount we agreed upon. However with the Queen still alive you must hold back on all future endeavors until the army reaches Fort Valance. Do not risk revealing your true loyalties to the Asgarnians until their army is attacking the fortress gate itself.
Remember no matter what lies you must tell to the Queen, no matter what it takes to gain her loyalty this is the moment we have been waiting for. As Asgarnia falls the balance of power in this world will shift and destabilize allowing us both to return to the old ways of war and chaos we so desire.

"The greatest endeavors are achieved because of their selfless intent"
As soon as the Queen and the army departed from Falador, The Duke began preparations too fortify the city. The arrival of the bannermen sent from House Lavalle allowed for the Duke to increase the military presence ontop of the walls and around the city.
The city guard were ordered to keep watch for any suspicious activity within the city, especially activity involving Zamorakian elements. Along with this the Dukes own personal bannermen that he took with him to Falador were stationed at the castle.
He also sent a letter to his son Robert who was in Port Sarim running things in his abscense.
Some time has passed since Robert recieved his fathers letter. The letter held specific instructions for a public display the Duke wished for his son to hold.
And so crowds of citizens were gathering at the center of Port Sarim where the two suspects captured from the raid weeks prior against the Zamorakian camp were set up on an execution platform. Robert explained to the crowd that these two were involved in the bombing that took place only a few feet from where they all were now.
The crowds reaction was expected, anger and hate filled the area, some of these people were relatives or friends of the victims from the bombing. Robert took in the reaction for a moment before giving the order for execution. Both suspects on their knees began chanting that the guards and people around them could not understand, the chanting went on until both suspects no longer had heads.
Robert left the headless bodies of the Zamorakians at the center of the city as a warning to their kin that there will be zero tolerance for their activities.
A small group of Fremennik dressed men would appear at the white knight camp north of Falador. One among their number, dressed the part but physically different than the rest, would speak up.
"We are the Clan Silver. We have heard of your plight from afar. We seek entrance to the city, so we may join you in battle for honor and glory."
HRAH!

Unsurprised by the attempt on her life, Queen Rosaline nonetheless works with ranking white knights to enact stronger security when the army pitches camp. Sentries are given greater hours and more bodies, officers are to conduct mandatory searches, and rumors of spies loyal to Her Majesty spread among the ranks. Morale takes a hit. When the queen herself is made bedridden by mysterious circumstances many assume the worst. Their train slows to a crawl.
By some miracle Her Majesty recovers, stronger than ever, and introduces magical sensors to detect drones sent by Lord Pyro as well as enchanted teleportation articles. Though in short supply, these sensors are set randomly every night out of an abundance of caution.
Delayed but undeterred, the White Knight host continue their advance. Scouts have reported enemy activity around Fort Valance. Their priority now is to overcome its defenses before marching on to Silverhill.

Combat Specialty - Mainhand magic (old magic wooden staff), offhand melee (small stabbing dagger aka defender)
Notes - He went to Valhalla and back and gained magical/melee pvp powers but uses that for the good things. He brought back some relics and artefacts from Valhalla that makes him the strongest one.
Such as:
- The Staff of the Gods (magic staff boost his (attack)magic by 999999999999999999%)
- The Defender of Justicia (the defender boosts his attack, strength and defence by 999999999999999999%)

- The Aura of the Universe (sees and feels everything so people cannot kill him in his sleep or something and the aura fused together with Viking Wok)
- the Pouch of Golden Coin (unlimited money but can't spend it on bad things like buying weed for a kid for example)
The one thing that can defeat him is Love. He will sacrifice everything for the person that he loves.

Triumph in Silverhill
Following a long period of bombardment, a breach in the outer wall of Silverhill was created by forces loyal to Lord Pyro. Immediately, nearby soldiers of the town's garrison (which at the outer wall numbered some three hundred to five hundred overall) swelled at the breach to mount a defense as siege towers roll up on either side of the breached portion of the wall. Although they managed to get up over the wall on one side, they were unable to break through the established shield-wall on the ground, nor escape the flurry of arrows. Several of the fighters in Lord Pyro's service, mostly members of the Kinshra order, died, and a few more were captured in the battle.
Eventually, by the sounding of a horn, Lord Pyro orders a retreat and though the wall bears another onslaught, those viewing from the wall witnessed in awe as the encampment is disassembled and the army of Lord Pyro hastily withdraw from outside the town, lifting their siege. The Duke Arthan orders his army to remain in position, but detaches a few small scouting parties to trail the enemy army's withdrawal. He announces that in celebration of the victory, he would be holding a feast for all of his vassals and bannermen to partake.
