Battle of Whomp City

## Notable Casualties

The **Battle of Whomp City** was the first major battle of the *Wars of Frozen Flames* series, being the climax of the episode *The Feeble King (III)*. It took place in the year 1477 in Whomp City between forces loyal to Lord Richard Koopa, Duke of Sherbet Land, and forces loyal to King John Koopa VI and his then-King's Claw, Lord Sigmund Phoenix. The battle was a victory for Lord Richard and his supporters, as they successfully captured John VI, and beheaded Lord Sigmund for the various charges Lord Richard held against him for so long. This battle is based on the real-life Battle of St Albans.

## Prelude

Richard's army marches to Whomp City to set up camp as it is home to one of the oldest fortresses in the Kingdom. He sets himself to command the right flank and Berwick and Manfred to command the left and middle flank each. A parakarry brings news that Lord Garnet switched his allegiance to King John and handed Richard's daughter Anna to the Queen.

John's army wait for Ironside's army but they do not come. Sylver claims that they have enough men only for Tyebolt to state that they're outnumbered by 500 men. Rodrick states that Lords Blackfoot and Bane are commanding the left and right flanks respectively as well as with the support of Lord Garnet. Despite supposing to command the army, Sigmund is absent so John gets Lord Sylver to volunteer. Lord Richard sends negotiations for the opposing side to hand over those in need of punishment, such as Lord Sigmund Phoenix. Sigmund's son Blayne is angered by these terms, and rejects them furiously. He tells Parakarry to tell Lord Richard to either join his sons in the Tower or die a traitor's death, prompting the battle to start.

## Battle

Berwick strikes two slacking Sword Bros and their captain and proceeds to bring his men forward, slaying multiple soldiers from the opposing faction along with other knights such as Lord Tusk. This prompts Rodrick to send Lords Sylver and Tyebolt to take the King to safety while he, Theodrick and Blayne fight off the opposing faction, along with Harrin, Birchard, etc. Each noble fights another noble in the opposing factions. Berwick's forces fight against the Symon's forces. Robert and Halbert fight against the Solbergs as well as Korrin. Richard's forces fight against Herard's forces with Richard stabbing Herard in the heart. Robert and Halbert faces up against Garnet and are backed up Lords Herbert, Manfred and Greyford. Blayne fights off the Sherbet soldiers while Sigmund does not bother helping his son. Berwick fights against the Blackfoots and duels against Symon himself and wins, slashing Symon's throat and killing him instantly. Manfred's forces fight against Garnet's forces with Robert fighting against Garnet himself with the assistance of Herbert. Thornton summons his archers, shooting and injuring several knights in the opposing faction such as Blayne and Korrin while the Solberg brothers flee. Berwick's forces infiltrate the room which John VI is hiding at, overpowering Sylver and Tyebolt and capturing the King. Robert gains the upperhand towards Garnet but Halbert takes Robert to meet Berwick. Sigmund hears of the King being captured and tries to flee the battlefield, slicing Edrick's stomach in the process, only for Torrence to successfully seize him so he can personally be beheaded by Richard as an execution. Edrick succumbs to the wounds inflicted by Sigmund and dies, having Richard briefly mourn him. Also documented as a notable casualties were Birchard's only son, Sir Jorgon Python (not to be confused with his cousin.), two of Lord Hoarfrost's sons and three of Symon the Elder's sons Joseph, Morton & Kelvan.
