The Great Scribbly One


A misplaced loremaster of Arda.

E

This story is a sequel to From the Dawn of Time


With the spring thaw of 6792AT (1008ALB in the Princess' Reckoning), the Socialist Republic of Skynavia launched a war that had been two decades in the brewing. With numerical parity, technological and doctrinal superiority and a devoted populace, the odds should have been vastly in their favour.
Reality however, is seldom so forgiving. Where the Skynavian command was divided and suffered from over-frequent reshuffles, the tribes united behind their Moot. Where the Skynavians expected to face spear waving barbarians, they met disciplined soldiers led by seasoned commanders.
This is not the story of the Battle of Firefly Bog, aid unlooked for in Braunles or even of a gruelling march through Ostfloy, however. This is a story about the aftermath of war in a world close to ignition point.


Second place winner of the First EaW Fanfiction Zone Writing Contest (https://www.fimfiction.net/group/216203/first-fanfiction-zone-writing-contest)
This is a short story set in the world of the acclaimed Hearts of Iron 4 mod, Equestria at War. It is canon to the Quenta Roccolië, albeit written as a standalone story.
Rated everyone, though there is PG level discussion of execution and slavery.
Thanks to Clear Skies-Roan for betaing.

Heh heh heh, I have no doubt that the same applies for me, assuming any of you lot finish in time :pinkiehappy:

Oh now it's on!

Neat. I have literally no idea who the Prince of the Lake is, but that’s ok.

It’s good to see a victorious Northern Tribes. I try to send volunteers, but the infrastructure is so bad they usually have major supply issues :raritydespair:

I'm glad you enjoyed! I did actually identify the Prince of the Lake here, but the reference is intentionally oblique. Worry not, the next story I release about him (hopefully some time next month) will be looking at his origins.
