Battle of Gloeckner's Charge

Besieging the Keep
After battering down the gates of the main keep, the Alliance forces overwhelmed the front line of Truthful defenders, and pushed forth into the reinforcing archers who had been suppressing the advance. The coalition continued to steadily gain ground against the zealots despite the unyielding barrage, and quickly the Scarlet forces began to dwindle.

A final stand was made by the few veteran crusaders among the Truthful forces that remained; armed with an array of volatile incendiary armaments, the crusaders charged recklessly into the Alliance battalion. A devastating inferno surged through the front lines, but the keep's desperate defenders had been consumed by their own flames.

The coalition was eventually successful in razing the settlement.

Truthful Preparations
As the coalition drew ever-closer to the portcullis of the main barracks, the remaining Truthful quickly realized what odds they were placed against. They were outnumbered, yet they did not flee; a bold few had seized the opportunity to make a defiant stand against their enemies, reveling in the thought of what they would believe a glorious death. Regardless of outcome, each soldier swore the oath of the Truthful's Kingdom Defender: die to halt the enemy advance.

Several tactical retreats were made by the veteran crusaders in formation behind the main force of Scarlet footmen and skirmishers, biding time for the explosive equipment to be readied by those willing to make the sacrifice for their comrades. As the moment drew nigh, the remaining Kingdom Defenders had nowhere to run, as behind them now lay a keep consumed in a tumultuous inferno. There was no other choice left now but to fulfill the oath that was taken.

Aftermath
The inquisitor leading the settlement was captured just before the fiery aftermath had reduced the smoldering keep to ruins, with most of the retreating Truthful forces scattering into the settlements further into the territory.
