Siege of The Voice
The first Stormia strategy was non-violent. Our leaders thought that perhaps if we just denied the Voxians some basic necessities and made it unpleasant to live in The Voice, they would leave. For countless years was this approach waged, with the riff-raff of the Stormian army occupying the lands around The Voice. These were the bullies and brutes - those who were forced into the army to serve penalty for crimes.
One day however, surprising news reached our generals - the brutes had been there so long that they had become quite familiar with the comings and goings of Voxians, and had noticed a unique opportunity - the city was defended by just a single formation of Archers - well trained Archers, but all the same, just a single formation. In addition, it seemed that the civilians were not planning an entire evacuation, as hoped, but to split off and found another city in the area.
The generals talked late into the night and eventually decided that though the forces present were raw, that a possible victory and early end to the war was worth the risk, and an attack was ordered. Each formation of hooligans was to attack in turn, and to check back before proceeding, but sadly...as maybe should have been foreseen...these rough soldiers didn't follow their orders too closely, and they simply all attacked. Laughably, they did follow one aspect of their orders and attacked in sequence, rather than all at once, probably giving the defenders the respite needed to pull off the victory.
That day confirmed to all of Stormia just how evil the RNG gods are, and how we must be better prepared in the future.
Despite the setback, all of Stormia had already been hard at work recruiting a proper army. The next generation might still have their roots in thuggery (in particular, those famous for shenanigans on the frozen Thunder River in the winter), but they have been trained, and given more appropriate weaponry.
