Margrënamunn, Eriuna
12 Fein 282 BCE
Margrënamunn was the residence of the local lord who claimed to rule the island, a pirate by the name of Asmund. While Eriuna had an estimated two thousand residents, the Lanlanians doubted he could mobilize even a tenth of them. The island was largely a den for pirates, and Lyrn expected his thousand Hostmen to make short work of any resistance they could muster. While he'd sent a few of them in bands to seize control of nearby villages, the bulk of them marched on Asmund's hillfort at his side.
Asmund's hillfort was built a short distance from the coast, overlooking a modest village. Though the sun was still high, the villagers were nowhere to be found. Lyrn's host had combed it earlier in the day to prevent being flanked while laying siege to the fort. They'd likely either fled or taken shelter behind the log walls at the crest of the hill. The fort wasn't large by any means, but it was nonetheless an obstacle. The land around it had been cleared, though at least there was no moat. Still, it'd take time to prepare for an assault. And an assault was the second-best option--Lyrn had no time to carry out a full siege.
The first option was negotiation, of course. While the Hostman had made camp and were staking out the lands nearby for supplies, a small team had approaching bearing a white flag and an offer of surrender. It did not surprise Lyrn that the defenders--pirates and outlaws--had opened fire on them.
The assault would happen Monday.

 | Holy Lanlanian Empire Holy Emperor: Feryn I Prime Minister: Klaus Lofgren | The Holy Lanlanian Empire is a multi-ethnic state based in western Brigidna with territories all across the globe. It is a relic of an older age, an absolute monarchy hidden under a functioning democracy. The empire has historically been the world's leading power, though has long been in decline and was recently overtaken by the Republic of Nyland. Nonetheless, the empire is not an opponent to take lightly. |
