(Septimus hasn't posted in 5 days so I will temporarily take over his characters to control the siege.)

"An army that doesn't need to cause you any harm if you'd let us pass." King Elyas told her. "We just don't want you attacking us from behind while we continue north to your capital."

Shornhelm's walls were tall and sturdy, the rebels would have a tough time breaking down the former capital's defenses.

General Lux was on the walls, organizing the city's defenders. There were roughly 170 of them: city guards, mercenaries and militia that the General had rose up at King Emeric's command.

"The Legion is running late. My nephew's last message said that they weren't far from Shornhelm." Lux muttered. "That's what you can expect from a general that Daric put in command, incompetent the whole lot of them."

The defenders were getting their artillery ready, the catapults were being moved into place atop the wall and aimed at the Farrunners.
