Crushing at Banlee

The Crushing at Banlee was a battle between the Rathonian Viarecks and Elfaria in the Elfarian-Viareck War. 
==Section heading==
The Elfarian soldiers thought of plundering, killing, & defiling the women as they neared the next village known as Banlee. 
The village was empty much to the disappointment of the soldiers and Galeran; as the invaders moved out of the town, they were then confronted by a sight that surprised them, Viarecks. A great host of them; Drulghan, Ornadain, Enderhine, Theradorne, Broadmouth, Calmarion, Alherin, and Rondulin along with survivors from Ireilm stood shoulder to shoulder. Despite the absence of their chiefs, the Viarecks stand in good order standing like stone bearing down on the Elfarian host in a great silence with the only sound coming from the flags in the breeze. 
A great cry then rang out. "Remember Ireilm!" The Viarecks shout in reply, raising their weapons showing their enemy that had been filled with a sense of justice to wreck the enemy that had invaded their homes, murdered their kin, tortured their friends & defiled the women.
The self-righteous mood of the Elfaria soldiers suddenly left them like a sparrow flying away from a hawk upon realizing that they had only fanned the flames. 
== Aftermath ==
After the battle, many Elfaria soldiers were killed, and a great many were also captured including Galeran & Roesia. 
Ireilm was retaken, but a great sadness came over everyone. What once had been a community that was thriving now was in ruins. There was nothing but silence except for the crying of the people as they entered. But rather than be demoralized however it only united the people like never before.
The angry Rathonians put Galeran and Roesia on trial for their actions against Irelim, found guilty and sentenced to death. They were stripped naked and executed by slow hanging; a punishment reserved for the most hated of criminals. No one begged on their behalf for their lives to be spared as they slowly strangled.
