The Citadel of Eight Peaks is Lost

With the eyes of the hold upon the vermin beneath, the grobi horde of the mountains grows unchecked. The horn at the East Gate[65] is sounded across the peaks as the surface cita­del of the hold is attacked by a vast greenskin horde. Over a hundred grobi perish as the first attack is repulsed, but not without the deaths of twenty-one clan warriors. King Lunn hereby declares a grudge against the greenskin tribes of the Snarling Sun and the Howling Moon for this latest wrong.

The royal hammerers of the king reinforce the citadel but it is for naught as the garrison is forced to give up the outer wall to the greenskins. Over a hundred dawi fall in this latest attack alone. Their names are scribed in the book of remembering.

Attacks from the rat-kin below continue unabated and no fur­ther troops can be spared to bolster the citadel. Many of the outer buildings of the city are abandoned: ale stores, drinking halls, brewhouses and clan halls that have stood for ages are ruined, the art of their former creators lost forever. Dreng tromm!

The grobi employ crude war machines and gather a great band of trolls to launch rocks at the citadel keep. Though their aim is poor, such is the amount of missiles levelled that great destruc­tion is wrought, including the tower-mounted bolt throwers and grudge throwers.[66] Thane Halkenhaf Stonebeard, Citadel Gate Keeper[67] is slain, eaten by a troll, and the inner curtain almost falls. King Lunn hereby declares a grudge against the creature and all its foul kind.

The grobi assaults against the inner curtain wall are unre­lenting and the tunnels of the upper deeps are also attacked. With a heavy heart, King Lunn declares all efforts to hold the great wall be abandoned. All remaining defenders are brought back into the citadel keep as a full retreat is ordered. King Lunn redoubles the defenders below at the Gate of Jewels. Reports reach the king’s chambers that the rat-kin attacks intensify. All routes to the lower deeps of the hold are sealed.
