~24th of Rain's Hand

Of the 350 soldiers that had come to take the fort, only 206 remained. With 65 of the 100 sailors have remained, the other 141 were the regular soldiers.

Ra Gada's total strength had gone down to 856 after the battle, with only 215 of the sailors remaining.

Fort Bayside was intact, so they would be able to use it imediately. However, the fort was a de jure territory of Hegathe. No doubt that the King of Hegathe would be angry at the Ra Gada for taking lands that belong to him by right.

King Korst and his soldiers returned to Windhelm within the week. Of the 500, 100 had remained behind in Kynesgrove to see if Lord Dathman would try anything.

Surprisingly the lord didn't retaliate. He was a man of honor and one that valued family. So he accepted his punishment without a word, which he could no longer utter. As a result of his maiming, Dathman could barely speak. What he could say was not even coherent.

When he returned to Windhelm, Korst had a local smith coat his uncle's severed tongue in silver and make a necklace out of it. He then had it sent back to Kynesgrove in a box with a letter that read:

To Lord Dathman the Silver Tongue.

On second thought uncle, maybe you will need this after all.

Kynesgrove liked Dathman and they didn't like what the King had done to him. In response to the maiming, they began to call Korst: King Korst the Cruel.

They had intended it to be an insult, but Korst laughed at them and took the name for himself. In his words. "Let this name put fear into the hearts of my enemies, for it shows what awaits them when I get my hands on them."

(I will post an updated map for Second Seed. In my next post I will have it take place in the 12th of Second Seed, to catch up to Pacman.)
