5th Battalion Forward Company

5th Battalion Forward Company was a famed military battalion within the Haven Army during The Northern War. Stationed at one of the main outer checkpoints, it was either desperation, or boldness, that lead the Republic forces to bypass the checkpoint by directly traversing over the mountain using a rope system. By the time the Haven forces found out, the main line had already been breached. A large and vicious battle ensued, but with their ropes in place, the Republic was rapidly severely outnumbering the battalion. With every member ready to give their life, the commanding officer ordered the cannons to instead be fired upon the mountain itself. The resulting avalanche eradicated both the 5th Battalion and Republic attackers, successfully stopping the breach at the cost of their lives.
The company is revered within Haven, their selflessness and bravery in the face of certain doom, making the ultimate sacrifice for their country. A grave in their honor is located in the heart of the Haven Army Cemetery.
While it is believed that everyone in the company perished that night, there was actually a sole survivor; Archerios Cloudsmith. Every year on the anniversary of the battle, Archerios visits the grave.
