The East Burns

A fleet of shallow keeled boats silently paddled up the river Anilûašyarûd, 400 men kitted out with the finest armour money could buy, all bough for by donations for the mission these warriors where there to complete. After the devastation caused by the Eriaz soldiers only a few weeks earlier had driven the people of the Kingdom of Askegrå to a rage, with many volunteering themselves to take part in a revenge attack to the vast iron mining regions in the east of Kisuran. They where given 10 ships, armed with cannons and the finest weapons available.
The small eastern garrison was unequipped and unprepared for such an attack with only a handful of men in each village. Quietly the ships would beach themselves and the men jump out, torches In hand and ready to start their mission. The first fires would alert the men up the river and limited resistance was met from the sleeping Kisurani. At the second town arrow fire would catch the Askegri off guard but the guard tower was quickly brought down by cannon fire. 
The raid would go on for several days, with the raiders taking many losses, before the surviving 30 men would turn back home after having raised countless towns, stealing the regions riches and collapsing mines along their way. They where welcomed back as heros and along with the attempt to downplay the damage caused by the Eriaz attack would return the publics support in the war.
