The Battle of Holwinn
Prelude
Beginning on 14 Oskaltequ 1642 with the release of lethal levels of a potent cocktail of hallucinogens and neurotoxins in aerosol form, followed by a probing reconnaissance-in-strength carried out by Octalune cavalry, the network of defensive positions held by the Jaysh al-Sathrati in the county of Holwinn rapidly unravelled, leading to a rebel advance towards Tyrelwynn and its eventual evacuation and abandonment by the Imperialists.
This collapse had the effect of confining the ESB Group backed militias along the lower reaches of Red Elwynn to the river port of Teldrin, which subsequently came under a close siege from the County Militia of rebel-held Lunaris. The river Elwynn trade, lifeblood of Shirekeep's economy, was effectively choked off.
