16th Brightening of the Second Cycle of the Month of Kalendryas in the season of Winter; Era I of the Celestine Mandate, Era XV Post Fractum.
Zeton Navarch Ssloth Caarg, Commander Phondra Anchors was on the deck of flagship AFS Carmichael. Following his were eighteen other ships all with one purpose in the minds of every captain. Bombard Hiems until submission if the Orcs didn't surrender. It had been a few days since the fleet had departed Taralon and they were now arriving to the southern coasts of Sheria. As they approach Ssloth barked orders while walking back and forward on the deck. Sailors climbed up to the masts and folded the sails as the fleet came to an halt.
Some Officers approach the Zeton Navarch as he took out his scope and used it to look for something inland. There it was, the Manjet's Hill as the men now called it and southwest of it the defensive line built by the Orcs and further southwest, directly in front of them, Hiems.
The ships were ready, the cannons aiming to the tastiest target they could find. They just needed the signal to unleash Aeternia upon the Greenskins.
The Siege of Hiems had began.
