The War Horns of Arnor blew from the North as they passed through the Southern borders of Rhun, unhindered and into the land of Khand. It's capitol city sturstla Khand would soon fall.
Scouts had reported a moving host from Khand towards Rivendell and thus it was proclaimed an enemy of the North. The armies of Arnor found their way at the city and the onagels, trebuchets, and ballistas were brought to the third ranks defended by the Winged Guard. Four large battering rams were brought forth to the second lines and surrounded by archers. The Knights of Arnor were brought to the front lines and would charge into the city once the gate was broken. Behind them were the Excecutioners of Fornost and Stone Trolls of the Trollshaws. The armies of Arnor then made their way forward to take the capitol city of Khand and with that the land of Khand and make a foothold in the South-East.
The archers immediatley opened fire on any wall defenders as the heavily armoured battering ram carriers bashed at the lower points of weakness on the gate. The trebuchets, and onagles fired on the outer ranks causing them to cluster into the archer fire. The people of Arnor were hopeful the seige would draw Khand away from Rivendell.

A messenger came to Noredred his face distraught. Rumor had come from Arnorien scouts that the ghostly haunts of Angmar had invaded Arnor. Noredred looked to the ground in utter sadness because he had let his lord down and led the whole of the mighty hosts of Arnor to Khand. He looked North and remembered the way they had come and then returned his gaze to the hosts assembled. "Retreat to Rhun and make camp there!" The hosts turned leaving the city of Sturstla Khand still shrouded in the smoke of battle.
