I would like to use the battle of Shadowdale in 1374 as part of my own campaign.

Could someone please enlighten me about this battle?

Especially interested in the following:

The sizes of opposing forces?

When was the battle fought (date, night or day)?

Where was the battle fought?

Were there only one or many battles?

Who were in Zhentish army (any noteworthy allies, NPC-s)? Was Scyulla the commander of the force?

Who were in Shadowdale´s army (any noteworthy allies, NPC-s)? Was Mourngrym the commander?

Short description of the battle itself.

Which tactics were used by the opposing forces?

How much magic was used in the battle?

What were the losses on both sides?

Best Regards,

Mandras

Out of idle curiousity, is it covered in the new Shadowdale hardcover book? I only have Cormyr (still waiting for my copy of SD to arrive) so I can really only provide conjecture.

I'd imagine that there would be an over-view and then you can make the rest up to fit your campaign.

Hope this steers you in the right direction.

09-03-07, 11:17 AM The new Shadowdale book gives very short description of the battles in 1374 and focuses on the 1375 war.

I was hoping to find someone (who perhaps has read the novel trilogy about the Elven crusade against Daemonfay) to give me more details.

Best Regards,

09-04-07, 03:48 PM Rich Baker's Last Mythal trilogy is the one in question... it has engendered mixed reviews around the boards, but I for one thought them thoroughly enjoyable.
