Hammouth

The fishing village of Hammouth lies on the River Ham, the traditional northern boundary of the eastern Ust people. It is well-known for a town of its size among Barlovians because it was the site of a great battle during the Barlovian invasion of the Ust. On a small hill overlooking the village, a force of nearly 2,000 Ust faced a vastly superior Barlovian army 11,000 strong. After a few moments, the Ust patriots were left scattering downhill, dying by the score as Barlovian cannons struck them down. Only three men stayed to hold the hill: a simple fisherman and his two brothers. They held out to the last, and when their cannon ran out of ammunition, they broke up their camp equipment to make grapeshot. While two of the brothers held up the cannon, the third fired one last shot. The two brothers holding the cannon were killed from the recoil of the gun, and the third was struck down by Barlovian cavalry.
