...am I implying that TGW may be losing its direction? No. However, I'd highly recommend them to take DankMemes and make it their new home region, seeing the number of memey reports they tend to make. Funny to see how they so flagrantly disregarded the region so long ago.


It would indeed be mathematically accurate to say that they have about as many heavily meme or shitposting themed reports as they do serious in-canon reports. ;)

I think morality is a perfectly acceptable topic for our thread. When it switched was when it became a straight-up discussion on the merits and justifications of R/D existence.

Warden Shizensky cuts down a Shriek attempting to sneak up on the Warden camp


Commander's Log 1 - Day Of The Sun's Obscurance:

The troops have been marching for days, making haste to Ostagar. I remember once reading about the ancient fortress while studying the Blight at Weisshaupt. Abandoned by the Imperium's collapse, sacked by Chasinds repeatedly, and still the great walls rise above the Korkari Wilds. It's a testament to the Tevinter Imperium that they built something so long-lasting; a legacy persisting even past their demise. Of course, we can also blame the Imperium for even having the Blight exist, for who knows if there would ever be Darkspawn were men not corrupted by the Gods of Old. It is no matter now, for the Blight is present and must be destroyed. Perhaps one day we may even see them driven from the Deep Roads, but that day is far away yet.

Ostagar. We are here now, camped out among the ruins. It's a small group of us, but strong in character. While I cannot fight at the moment, the four Wardens are strong and are supplemented by one of our staunch allies from the Realms of Rejection. Our First Warden Roavin, having taken a more mobile role to his position. Shizensky, a veteran warrior having recently completed the Joining. Sir Merlin, a mage who has grown into a stalwart Warden since he pledged to the cause. Ainarom, new still, having just joined the Order a day before this march. Catalyse, a brave warrior from the Realms. It's these five that will hold Ostagar against the Blight's incursion. On this day, when the Maker's Light is extinguished by one of our moons, the Darkspawn will feel emboldened to pass through these hallowed walls. Here we stand, and here we shall stop them. The Blight shall not pass these parts and go forth into the civilized lands. We stop them, and push them back to the Wilds where they may be torn apart by witches, wolves, and all other manner of unknown foes.

We can hear the guttural howls of our foe ringing around the valley, preparing themselves to storm through the fortress and to the villages ahead. We hold the bridge, however, and in such a spot we may repel the tide for near an hour. I can do nothing but watch in my current state, recuperating from injury, but I shall chronicle our battle and pray to The Maker that we shall be blessed by Andraste's Light in our fight against evil on this day. We will not falter today, nor any subsequent day.

In War, Victory. In Peace, Vigilance. In Death, Sacrifice.

Warden Reinforcements cut through Darkspawn lines


Commander's Log 2 - Aftermath of the Sun's Obscurance

We did it. At times, it was doubtful that we would last the night, but we did it. Darkspawn repelled, many villages protected, and a successful push to defend the Neutral Zone of Ostagar overseen. While at times we lost ground, we rallied and ensured that there would still be many a native Fereldan standing at the end of the night. The Mage from the Circle, Sir Merlin, he is truly a masterful healer. While my limbs are still sore from my wounds, I was able to lift and swing the sword without issue. I know not where I would have been without his know-how ensuring that I was more than just dead weight in the push against the Darkspawn foe.

They came upon us fast, four groups at once. One snuck through, but did minimal damage, while another was effectively dispatched. We battled through the whole night against our savage foe, with new Darkspawn rising to replace each that our weapons cut down. As the sun was obscured, so the dark foe was emboldened. They pushed forward, forcing us to give ground with each wave. While the piles of Darkspawn were so high they began tipping off the bridge, the enemy seemed endless. We fell back to the valley, bloodied but not defeated. Here we rode for the towns, defending those who we could, and warning the rest about the impending tide. It was such actions that brought us to a rocky outcrop, so as to gain a better vantage point. Here we stood fast, even as the sun gave way to moon and the enemy's strength grew.

Shizensky, Ainarom, and Catalyse were not with us anymore; dispatched to protect villages further north. Just three Wardens standing after the phase of the day, with myself nowhere at full fighting strength. It was around an old birch tree that we thought we might meet our end, each of us standing with our backs to its twisting branches as we beat back our enemy. Perhaps it was fortune which favored us on that day, or the Maker himself, but that tree was not our end. Cutting swathes through the savage host, well-timed reinforcements battled to join us in our darkest hour. With the sun setting on the horizon, having been spent through its blockade by the moon, we could barely see them approach. Yet through the shine of their armor, their fierce battle cries, and the flashes of their weapons, it was clear who had arrived.

Commander Altmoras, his twin blades a blur as they downed Hurlocks left and right, was first in the fray. Chamberlain Vincent Drake followed soon behind, having to use a makeshift battleaxe that barely slowed him down. Lieutenant Pyrosky, swinging his broadsword through Shrieks as if they were fresh-churned butter, brought up the rear. Answering the call after a long absense, Warden Ikania rained fire arrows down upon the Genlock archers, positioned securely in a rock formation. Alongside the Wardens rode foes of the Blight, staunch allies of the Wardens in this hour of need. Two Southerners rode to the support. One wore Violet hued armor, strong as the toughest steel, as Darkspawn fell under their sword. The other, plowing through the fray with a great Silverite mace, had a breast plate emblazoned with Nineteen stars, Lighting up the space around him. This was not all though, as Archuria, a Mage from The Order of The Phoenix, rained fire and ash upon the now-faltering Darkspawn host. While without these reinforcements, it is likely that we all would have fallen, their presence emboldened us to success and defensive prowess.

Succeed we did, with the foe pushed back step by step. With great effort, we fought our corrupted enemies all the way to Ostagar and across its great bridge. One wouldn't be blamed for assuming we had donned Red Steel, so brightly was our armor stained by Darkspawn blood. As the last Hurlock Alpha fell, his remaining minions scattered and fled. It was over, another incursion had been stopped. It would not be the last, and we would be battling a long time yet, but The Day of Sun's Obscurance had passed.
