Battle of Muede

Battle of Muede was a battle fought between the forces of Konrad Perickard and Artorias Varjangaria near the city of Muede.
== Background ==
Artorias Varjangaria and Sexton Scale had been fooled by Sir Samuel Berghof at the Deceit at Lion's Road, which lead to their capture. Samuel wanted to persuade Artorias, Sexton and their final companion Octavio Perickard to join him. All but Octavio refused and Samuel imprisoned them. Octavio was sent to Silverion to assassinate Konrad Perickard, Octavio's younger brother and the current head of the Peasant revolt.
Meanwhile, Konrad Perickard had begun to plan a campaign south to capture Muede and to defeat Samuel Berghof, however, Konrad had to also build a new army fast as the main peasant army was destroyed and captured at the battles of Meta-Gudur and Lion's Road.
Artorias and Sexton managed to flee Samuel's encampment and soon reached the city of Muede, where they began to rally the support of the populace. After some intrigue and rallying, the people were finally beginning to form a militia. Some 1 500 men, from the city and the rural regions near the city volunteered to join Artorias' militia, which was just in time, as only two days away from them Konrad was marching his newly build army of nearly 2 000 men.
== Battle ==
Artorias set out to face Konrad in the field, as he could not afford to get besieged. Both sides fielded poor peasant levies with minimal training and realized that morale was key to winning the battle.
Artorias and Sexton came up with a plan, which relied heavily on flanking and trying to make their force look larger. They used hills and fake extra banners to make their army look greater. This proved to be a good idea, as the forces of Konrad truly began to waver from Artorias' show of force.
The battle began when Sexton charged Konrad's centre lines with the best shock troops the militia had. The charge was decisive, as Sexton himself was a man to be feared. The pure sighting of Sexton made men flee the battlefield. This caused a mass rout in the middle, to which Artorias responded by sending in the rest of his troops. Konrad's centre was demolished, which meant that Konrad's right and left were now cut off. This made it easy to envelop Konrad's remaining troops and they shattered very easily.
Konrad personally attacked Sexton's detachment, but was easily captured by Sexton and taken captive. This was the end of the battle.
== Aftermath. ==
Following the battle, Konrad's forces completely melted and fled home. Artorias was willing to send home all men who wished, but only few did which surprised Artorias. Artorias and Sexton, who had prior to the battle, received an invitation from Jiri Baathúr to attend negotiations at Keriff, decided to accept and marched to Keriff where they participated in the Treaty of Kerry's Farm.
