The Stormhaven Prison Rescue was a daring operation led by Varragh il Sunayn and Ulder Cole, in an attempt to free their companions and allies from the high security prison at Stormhaven.

# Prelude

Following the failed coup on Eleasis the 17th, Varragh was the only one who managed to evade capture. Her escape led her to the Knight's Rest, where she assembled all the Knights of Aloro. Ulder also joined and deduced that the prisoners would have most likely ended up on Stormhaven Prison. In order to come as close as possible to the prison island without drawing suspicion on themselves, Varragh disguised everyone as Waterdhavian Guards.

## Order of Battle

Varragh using her magical cloak of many fashions, put on the appearance of a member of the arch-magi, while held as a prisoner by Kukassy and Feyn, in order to approach the main gate. In the meantime, Ulder's group sailed to the other side of the island, to free and arm the prisoners as quickly as possible in order to join the main force at the gate.

# The Battle

## Fight at the Gate

With Varragh managing to come close enough to the gate guards, the Knights of Aloro attacked. This caught the guards by surprise which led to many of the prison guards falling. Giedel in particular fought incredibly fierce at the gate, killing many guards and opening the way for the rest of the Knights of Aloro to start scaling up the walls to continue the assault.

## Ulder's Front

With battle at the gate ensuing, Ulder and his defectors scaled the walls and despite coming under ballista fire, they managed to fight their way through and enter the prison tower. There they managed to free the prisoners and swiftly armed Harminil, Tyavos, Vahayon, Varis and Alaric.

## The Fronts Converge

In the meantime, Varragh's front had turned into a stalemate, with the numerical superiority of the Guards preventing any breakthrough. Giedel, empowered by her earlier successes, attempted to charge through to help Ulder. She was however surrounded, and despite Varragh's efforts, she valiantly fell. Varis and Alaric came from the tower into the battlements to support Ulter, while Harminil led his brothers into the tower, to clear it from adversaries and reach the ballista on top. Varragh in the meantime, together with the last reinforcements of the Knights of Aloro, managed to break the morale of the courtyard defenders, with numerous guards fleeing and barricading themselves inside. Alaric, aided by Ulder's men, started taking out the crews of the ballistai. Varis' charge was cut short after he found himself surrounded. He sustained numerous wounds, but thanks to his undead curse powering him, he managed to hold on and keep fighting for just enough, so that Ulder's men could relieve him.

## Defeat of the Guard

The all out battle at the battlements finally ended up swaying in the favour of the Knights of Aloro, thanks to them being able to take over the siege weapons and turning them against their former masters. The remaining guards eventually surrendered, realising that they were surrounded with no way out. Harminil's path to the top of the tower in the meantime could not be stopped by the the guards stationed there. The head jailor was slain in the tower by Harminil's blade. Harminil led his brothers to the top of the tower, where they quickly dispatched the ballista crew.
