	It was winter, and bitterly cold when our foes ramped up their offensive (~day 384). A huge force of Ogres were seen to the west and were moving through the clans and to the west gate. We halted their advance after some hard fighting, and they there built a barricade.

	It was not until the new year that we were able to push back Naarg's ogres, and then liberate Arthe Dale. It was a horrible and bloody fight, during which I was bereft of my youthful enthusiasm. I was weary from the work. Yes, work is what it had become. No honor, or glory, just a job that needed doing. Crashing barricades, hacking the foe as one would harvest the wheat. No more emotion, no tears. I had changed.<br>		It was not until the new year that we were able to push back Naarg's ogres, and then liberate Arthe Dale.

	It was around the year ~~371~~ that I and other young squires and pages were listening to our betters in the Crossing [[Paladin]] Guild when a Knight arrived claiming need of people for service in the [[Zoluren Militia\|Navy]]. I ignored him at first thinking, who am I to believe I am yet ready for something such as that. I hardly know how to be a Paladin after all. Then he spoke directly to me, "You there, join the Navy with me!" I blinked and stared back. "Me?" I said, pointing at myself. I was at once flummoxed and at the same time thrilled that a Knight would take notice of me.<br>		It was around the year 374 that I and other young squires and pages were listening to our betters in the Crossing [[Paladin]] Guild when a Knight arrived claiming need of people for service in the [[Zoluren Militia\|Navy]].

	He went on to explain that the [[Vorclaf\|Prince]] had activated the Navy again and needed crews to defend the seas from Pirates and whatever other invaders may come. This sounded to be a good enough cause, but I still had reservations. For one, I could hardly swim, what if the ship sank? Perhaps he wants me for an anchor.<br>		He went on to explain that the [[Vorclaf\|Prince]] had activated the Navy again and needed crews to defend the seas from Pirates and whatever other invaders may come.

	It was late [[Outcast_War/Timeline\|in the year 375]] (~day 291) we heard of the Outcast's march into Therengia. We heard of awesome battles and the relentless advance. Refugees from the north began coming into Zoluren and the [[Haven's Wind]] was ferrying more. We had a brief thought of seeing action as her escort, but it was not needed. Hearing of the occupation of Riverhaven saddened me greatly. By all reports, the Outcasts treated the defenders harshly.<br>		It was late [[Outcast_War/Timeline\|in the year 375]] (~day 291) we heard of the Outcast's march into Therengia.

By all reports, the Outcasts treated the defenders harshly.<br>

	The grief could not last long, as soon it was our turn to join the conflict. While on watch, I awoke to the beat to quarters as a red sail had been spied entering the bay ([[Busar Saaf]]) to [[Arthe Dale]]. The schooner approached and we put our skills with the mangonels to the test. Alas, we did not shoot well, but as she prepared to board us, we were able to land a lucky shot driving her off for a time. Later, [[Naarg]], the Ogre Chieftain, attacked the West gate, [[Grishnok]] and his forces at the north gate, and another schooner had landed some pirates in Arthe Dale. We had our hands full. <br>		The grief could not last long, as soon it was our turn to join the conflict.

	The next few days became a blur. When not watching the bay we responded to the gates of Crossings to aid in the hard fought battles there. I had learned of an infantry unit, the [[Zoluren Militia\|Dragoons]], and threw in with them whenever I was able. Ogres, Orcs, Goblins, all the foul humanoids were killing and pillaging. All of the death, destruction, but at the same time, duty, honor, devotion to a higher cause. My emotions were and still are muddled. So.... This is war.<br>		The next few days became a blur.

	Not long after, I was recalled, we had been assigned a ship, the [[Leaping Dolphin]] Commanded by none other than the Commander of the Fleet [[Chellene]] Mondraith. What an honor, to be assigned to the flagship of the Zoluren Fleet, which I had learned was also known as the ZEF or [[Zoluren Expeditionary Force]]. We also were finally issued uniforms, and some surplus ZEF equipment. Also in the fleet was the [[Proud Nissa]] and [[Selkie's Secret]]. During my enlistment, I had the honor of serving on all three at one time or another, but the Leaping Dolphin was my ship.<br>		Not long after, I was recalled, we had been assigned a ship, the [[Leaping Dolphin]] Commanded by none other than the Commander of the Fleet [[Chellene]] Mondraith.

	She was a large ship, and took me some time to find my way about it. The waist was wide, and carried six mangonels, with a fore and aft deck, another mangonel on the foredeck. Below, there was a large hold, crew and captain's quarters, a mess, galley and a wardroom. She was a beautiful vessel, especially under sail.>br>		She was a large ship, and took me some time to find my way about it.

	I wandered about after her passing, never feeling quite at home anymore. The Naval units disintegrated, and I turned to my studies and training as a Paladin. Life returned to normal for most, but there is an open wound on the lands. It may take decades to heal fully.		I wandered about after her passing, never feeling quite at home anymore.
