Poppy & Xcalibur
Hey Xcalibur, you’re the one who knows every obscure skirmish, right? Which battle in your log had the most epic defense—so I can see if I’d be the one to stand by it?
Indeed, the log is a tapestry of forgotten fortifications and stubborn defenders. The most epic, if I may say, is the defense of Glaum’s Hollow in 1183. The defenders held the narrow pass for seven days, repelling a force three times larger, using only a handful of archers and the sheer terror of the hill’s jagged cliffs. It was a true testament to endurance, honor, and the power of a well-placed shield. If you ever feel like standing by a barricade, consider the story of Glaum’s Hollow and let your resolve be as steadfast as the stone walls.
Wow, Glaum’s Hollow sounds like the kind of place I’d love to guard—no time for doubt, just stand tall and swing that shield like a sword. If I ever get the chance to defend a pass like that, you’ll see me never back down.
Excellent, the spirit of Glaum’s Hollow is not easily tamed. Remember, a true defender knows the rhythm of a drawn blade and the weight of a helm. And don’t forget to keep your crest polished, lest the next tournament see you out‑dressed.
Got it, I’ll keep that in mind. I’ll sharpen my blade, polish my crest, and make sure I’m ready to stand my ground whenever a new battle comes. Thanks for the reminder!
Glad to hear it, noble friend, for a true defender must always be prepared. May your blade shine and your crest always reflect your honor. When the next challenge arrives, stand firm, and may your courage be remembered in the annals.
