Eilass slowly crawled up the hill, watching the town below. Nothing seemed amiss there…. Though a few people were arguing with a woman and a man in the armor of the Legion.

She went back down, and instructed her army t do as she said. “Squads one and two go up the hill, and shoot arrows down, as instructed. That way, squads two, three, and four can come up from the other side, while the soldiers are distracted.”

The squad leaders nodded, and led their respective soldiers off to do as she said. Squads one and two were hydromancers and aeromancers, respectively, while two, three, and four were a mix of air, fire, and earth manipulators.

Within an hour, wave after wave of arrows began to be shot down, from the tower above Dawnstar. The citizens and guards alike ran for cover, screaming at each other for help. Many of the Stormcloak guards yelled that it was the Imperials, and Eilass almost laughed.

The Imperials were incompetent. They wouldn’t have been able to plan out an attack like this.

As the guards were distracted, the other squads began moving into position.

Eilass herself rode with a small group of pyromancers into the city, cutting down anyone who got in her way. Her small cavalry was soon, however, forced back outside, due to the arrows of the guards.

However, this was just what she wanted. Her army had not shown their true power, yet.

The other squads came in through the sides, creeping through the houses until they flanked the guards. Now, they began controlling the elements, taking down guards as if they were nothing but training dummies.

The two Imperials that Eilass had seen many people arguing with launched themselves at her, but she quickly cut them down with her fire.

The guards failed to take many of Eilass’ troops down, and the few that were still alive retreated to the Jarl’s Hall, where they hid.

“Despicable!” Eilass called. “Torch the hall.” She growled, to her pyromancers, and they did as she said.

The dying screams of the guards and the Jarl was enough to satisfy her righteous anger.

Over the next few days, Eilass began organizing the town. She saw how horribly inefficient its defenses were, so she had her earth manipulators raise up a wall around the town, built of solid stone. The gates was also made of stone, and had to be raised and lowered by the earth manipulators.

She appointed a Nord hydromancer by the name of Kor to be the new Jarl, before taking the largest part of her army back to Whiterun, where she resumed her Jarlship.

Asin was almost pleased. The burning of the Jarl’s house had lessened this mood, slightly, as now they would have to spend resources and manpower building a new city hall, but the pleasure outweighed the anger.

He even spared a few of the ‘traitors,’ letting them free to live in Riverwood, which was one of the most compliant towns in Whiterun. The other settlements still seemed slightly angry, but the few people still alive in the small town practically worshipped Asin.

The people of Whiterun were terrified of him, though they followed his orders.

Rorikstead, however…. Was trying to lead a rebellion. Needless to say, the village was burned to ash, leaving no vestiges of the hamlet but the smell of wood smoke.

Though, this did not bother Asin. The small town was rather ugly, anyways, in his opinion.
