Battles of Vengeance and Justice

by Psykic Ninja

Here I shall be posting brief overviews of each of the battles that take place in the main story of A Game of Vengeance and Justice. There will be conflicting details about numbers of losses etc between this and the main story. This represents false reports etc. If you come across one of these discrepancies, assume this is the fact and the main story has what the characters hear.

Prelude

This trench was more advanced that the first, with wooden stakes planted in it, and traps set along before it, huge pits to trap scored of wights, and bear traps to tear at their feet and rob them of their movement.

The Battle

Proceeded much like the first, except Aegon's army, larger and better prepared, was able to hold for longer and inflict more casualties on the enemy. But, just like the first time, he was forced to retreat eventually.

Aftermath

After this trenchline, only individual holdfasts were manned, there was no great defence until Winterfell, where the Second War for the Dawn will be decided.
