The Lismelder Tribe were there too...

"In 1602 the Lunars invaded the Kingdom of Sartar and the Lismelder fyrd rallied to the defence of King Salinarg. One third of the Lismelder fyrd was in Runegate Fort awaiting the main Lunar army's assault when it was attacked by zombies from the Upland Marsh. The Lismelder were to the fore, and expertly killed the undead. The next morning they fought off a Lunar infantry assault as well. However, that night they were unable to prevail when the Crimson Bat attacked the city. King Cullain Hammershand was killed fighting the Bat's priests, and less than two score Lismelder warriors escaped." Source: Tales #18

IMG one of the few bits of the town to survive the assault was the Runegate itself. The gate being in the shape of a Luck rune.

Cheers,

David
