The capture of the fleet of indies

 The Imperial fleet returned

from a long trip in search of gold

with their stores hevily loaded

with the income of the crown.

 

 But in their path rasised

the fortress of pain

a balck ark packed

with eagarness to slain

 And so it advanced 

into the foe's heart

the witch elves shouted

hungering for bloodbath

 In the midst of the fleet

where the helldrakes unleashed

surging from the deep

the treasure they taked

 Wile next tho them

a deathfortress arised

that attacking the stern

a wolfship consumed

 Surrounded by monsters

the empire men flattered

being captured by dozens

as the corsairs plundered

 But the stubborn remnants

to the towering ark headed

firing at it's bastions

their guns proudly roared

 

 But soon the drakes

where over them

with gargantuan bites

caused mayhem

 The last wolfship fell

as withces it's decks invaded

slaying like furies of hell

the poor ship grounded

 But in a last heroic attempt

to regain the battle and the gold

the imperials the ark boarded

to kill and of she take hold

 But vain were their intents

for the drucchi nobly fighted

despite minor in numbers

the dark elves prevalied

 An so the ark ran away

lefting the work tho the rest

 the wargalley was it's prey

sinking into the fishes's nest

 

 and so alone was left

the imperial greatship

it's broadsides fired

under the elfic whip

 But finally for she came

the time of captivity too

boarding it was ended the game

praised be Khaine for!

The Battle of the Poros

In the years prior to the great war of the ring, the skirmishes around the frontiers of Gondor abundated, and some of them proved to be a serious threat to the security of the kingdom. Amongst these  none is more remembered with fear than the great incursion lead by the infamous Kamul the easterling and his infamous followers. Notice of the invasion spread fastly, and Boromir of Gondor and his brother Faramir rallied a force to oppose the invaders at the point where their advance could me most easilly putted to Halt: the river Poros.

 Kamul with his forces: a mûmak, haradrim infantry and a easterling phalanx.

 The defenders of Gondor: Farmamir, Boromir, bowmen, men at arms of minas tirith and a force of the magestic Dol Amroth swan knights.

 Faramir and his archers

 The river Poros, frontier between Gondor and the expansing lands of the darkness

 Boromir leads the gondorian cavalry.

 The dark powers start to move, the bowmen in the mumak's tower start to fire but with no effect.

 The gondorians move to protect the crossing

 Dol amroth and mounted archers advance to prevent the crossing of Sauron's infantry

The southernlings enter the river firing a continued rain of poisoned arrows.

 The men at arms march to the river accompanied by boromir

 sir cavalry to the left! roll over and crush them!

 after the dust settles nothing remains of the pride of Imrahil

 Bormoir charges valiantly to stop the monstruous beast, wile his infantry attacks the easterlings in the ford. The mumak suffers his first casualty due to shotting, but also injuries Boromir.

  After two round of combat the esterlings and Kamul cut the throats of the gondorians, the Mumak suffers from burst after burs of arrows, but his proximity with the nâzzgul assures that he pass all the control tests to preventing him from an stampede.

 After finishing Boromir the imponent Mûmak turns...

And crushes the gondorian archers. A Badly injuried Faramir leads the surviors of the force in retreat, the passage is secured and the invasion keeps on.
