Battle for Westrun

Battle for Westrun
== Background ==
The previous year the Dragonborn invasion force, led by the Dragon king in person, had scored victories at the battles of Palios, for the Riverlands and the Sacking of Pallia.
== Battle ==
The Army of Westrun retreated to westfield and built a fortified camp near the town. The Dragonborn, however, refused to be drawn into the prime cavalry terrain around the Westruni camp, resulting in a stalemate that lasted 6 days. While attempting a retreat after their supply lines were disrupted, the dragonborn battle line fragmented. Thinking the dragonborn were in full retreat, Lord James of Westrun ordered his forces to pursue them, but the dragonborn halted and gave battle, routing the lightly armed Westruni infantry and killing Lord James of Westrun.
A large portion of the Westruni army was trapped in its camp and slaughtered. The destruction of this army, opened the way for the invasion of Valand.
