Conrad's Passing

Conrad's Passing is remains of the Battle of Conrad's Hill, named after Ser Conrad who lead a suicidal charge against an encampment of Volark Fehnir's troops. The ruins are located between the Tivrdom of River'Reach and The Dwarven Nation of Hyljaheim. Rechian Knights have since taken these Hallowed grounds as a place to conduct spars under the watchful eyes of fallen ancestors.

The Location itself features twin flags of the Reach, twin warrior statues, and various marked and unmarked graves of the fallen.

Battle of Conrad's Hill
Ser Conrad and his detachment of 50 knights would be ordered to journey to the Citadel of Stars. One that would take them through an unmarked hill. A trip that would take a short week at most. However, his troops would soon discover a hidden camp of Fehrir's men. Ones poised to besiege the River'Nexus settlements.

With an axe in hand Ser Conrad would lead his small group into a long fought battle against an army twelve times his size. His troops would hold for four nights and five days.

On the fifth day Conrad was down to around 13 knights, having held a hill successfully. Seeing their days numbered, Ser Conrad would lead a final charge downhill. Where tales say he would perish halfway down.

His death gave ample time for Archian Knights to hear from River'Nexus scouts of Fehnrir's intention. Thereby rallying loyalist knights to come to the aid of River'Nexus in a encirclement of the remaining enemy knights which would force a rout. Aware of his sacrifice, the people of River'reach wrote ballads in Ser Conrad's name and would moniker the site as The Passing of Conrad or Conrad's Passing.
