Vol. 9 No. 9 - Special Edition
~ Gukta Falls, the Return of Grobb ~
After one of the fiercest battles ever fought in
| Norrath, the Guktans and their allies were finally over-powered and routed by the might of the Troll and Dark Elf host. There were very few survivors.
Innothule Swamp was red with the blood spilled by those that died in this horrid battle. Though the Guktans were defeated, the
|
|
Trolls also suffered heavy casualties as well. Their Dark Elf counterparts fared slightly better. The Guktan defenders that survived are desperately trying to assist the wounded and get them to safety and medical assistance.
No one seemed to have much
| time to talk with us, though Rend did have a few things to say about the battle.
"This was by far worse than any fight I've ever been in - the carnage and gore is sickening and the stench is worse. I saw many brave warriors, both Elf and Guktan alike fall this day,
|
|
and I can't help but wonder if the battle would have ended differently if perhaps even Qeynos or Kaladim had sent aid, but alas our requests for assistance went unanswered."
Though the Guktans were defeated here, they have not lost their resolve.
| The Elders say that they will not admit total defeat.
"We Guktans do not give up so easily. Just because these Trolls won a battle does not mean they have beaten us. No, Gukta lives in us. As long as we live and repeat our traditions to our children Gukta will
|
|
live. We greatly appreciate the assistance that those who came to our aid provided us. We will not forget your sacrifices on our behalf. We will not dishonor your brave deeds and memories by simply giving up."
The leaders of Kelethin have continued to pledge
| their support to the Frogloks of Gukta and are doing everything they can to assist them in rebuilding and reorganizing their forces.
