Tyrinhall

Tyrinhall is a ruined fortress that resides within the east of Agamand. Originally a possession of the Dayseekers and the personal domain of Lady Dayseeker, it was recently captured by the Army of the Truthful during the Battle of Tyrinhall.

Scourge Control
Under the Scourge, the fortress itself was manned by Dayseeker forces, with the outskirts occupied by disparate mindless undead loosely under the command of Devlin Agamand. The dwellings of the outskirts provided the local remnants of the Cult of the Damned with dens in which to practice their dark magic with ample buffer in the form of the masses of skeletons, ghouls and zombies that roamed the area.

Skirmishes
Shortly after the rout of Alliance forces from Tirisfal during their invasion, the Army of the Truthful took advantage of the chaos and disorder within the shattered Forsaken ranks to move to the town of Eastford from the Scarlet Palisade.

Tyrinhall proved a formidable obstacle to the group, and soon became their main target. Raids and skirmishes by the Truthful and affiliated groups grew in intensity, with prominent forays led by Ansel Meyer and members of the Bloodstained Sacrament proving crippling to the coven of cultists that inhabited the outskirts.

Unable to regain strength without experienced necromancers, the buffer provided by the remnant Scourge soon dwindled and collapsed.

Battle
The collapse of the outer ranks of Scourge led to the less numerous Dayseeker forces being exposed and thus subject to losses and attrition. While competent and resilient fighters, the Dayseeker units were overextended in trying to defend the outskirts, and so when the Truthful forces mounted an assault, they found themselves locally outmatched and outnumbered outside of the walls of the fortress.

By the time that Truthful forces had reached the walls of the fortress itself, the defenders found their numbers drastically reduced. Although their defense of the threshold was formidable, with considerable losses being inflicted on the attackers, a breakthrough was ultimately accomplished by a vanguard of Knights of Dathrohan led by Benjamen Fangore and Vendreck.

Callus Morningray attempted to rally the defense together, but ultimately failed, with the fallen paladin dying his final death in the effort. By the day's end, Dayseeker resistance was limited to the keep itself, with Truthful forces having successfully consolidated control within the fortress and outskirts.
