[QUOTE="Insight, post: 4687036, member: 11437"] [sblock=History Check Result] There are two things you recall re: Lord Finsany [b]Lord Enil Finsany[/b]: As everyone in Haylen's Ford knows, the Finsany family has been running a farm in the area for several generations. One of their ancestors was a noble lord in the area, the last of whom was Lord Enil Finsany. Enil Finsany ruled a protectorate that included the Surrim Forest, and of course, Haylen's Ford. During the last years of Lord Finsany's reign, the forest was overrun with orcs and goblins. Lord Finsany, with no standing army, mustered the people in his fiefdom, including those in Haylen's Ford, into a militia to take a stand against this invasion. Following a battle in Haylen's Ford (see below), in which Lord Finsany himself appeared in combat, the lord died due to mortal wounds he received in said battle. Since Lord Finsany had no known heirs, the area of the Surrim Forest has been without a lord ever since. [b]The Battle of Haylen's Ford[/b]: At the height of the resistance against the orc and goblin invasion, militia forces under Lord Enil Finsany gathered at the strategic chokepoint of Haylen's Ford to stop the invaders from crossing the Vistus River. Lord Finsany himself led a cavalry group into battle to rout the invaders from the northern flank. Many of the able-bodied people of Haylen's Ford, including many non-humans, joined in the town's defense. It was at Haylen's Ford that the orc and goblin invaders were driven back, and it turned out to be the beginning of the end for the invasion, which lasted only another six months. Lod Finsany, however, did not live to see the end of the invasion; he died only a few days after the battle at Haylen's Ford. BTW, I have added the above to our Obsidian Portal website.
