This thread will contain the builds detailing the storyline of the exile of Marius and his people. (otherwise known as I need an excuse for my character doing absolutely nothing in world affairs for what, almost a year now?)

Marius led his people through the gates. This was the site of his most profound defeat. His greatest military shame.
The bones of the dead littered the ground. From the look of the corpses, the Queen's army hadn't even stayed long enough to bury their own dead.
The surprise attack was a result of Shieldbury aggression towards the Queen's regime. They had repelled all occupying forces, and, against the counsel of their allies, declared themselves openly hostile.
Subtleties of politics would protect them, they thought.
But they were wrong. The Queen's forces attacked as Marius' troops were rallying for the secret invasion of the Capital, which was to take place in a few days. Therefore the bloodbath was not limited to the forces of Shieldbury. But as it was, the element of surprise and the power of numbers forced the victory in favor of the Queen.
