(The question you should be asking, Haz, is since when did regular archers train how to fire in high arcs rather than ballistic arcs, and since when did these archers train to fire at multiple targets in one formation? This being based on the Middle Ages, you won't have a standing, professional army - most soldiers will train once a week at most.)

5th of Midyear

The Firebolts, being apprentice level destruction magic, required the Knights fire at close range and took multiple shots to be lethal. Their close range meant that arrows were capable of penetrating their armour, causing multiple casualties.

Since the archers were using improvised cover, it was not very effective, as they still had to expose most of their body to take a shot. The various buildings in the village meant it was difficult to get a clear line of fire, particularly from cover, which reduced the effectiveness of their fire.

The boulder burst open the doors, but then got stuck in the corridor shortly thereafter.

30th of Last Seed

"With the defeat of Elden Root, we must now determine the division of the conquered territories," the emissary said. "Haven's army killed the vast majority of Elden Root's army, but we appreciate that Southpoint's forces were responsible for the capture of Elden Root and gave Haven the means with which to ambush Elden Root's forces. We therefore suggest a roughly equal division of the conquered territory, with Southpoint gaining Archen, Fort Summer, and Elden Root in the west, and Haven gaining Fort Autumn, Cornmount, and Karthalar Square in the east."
