Battle at Storrold's Point

The Battle at Storrold's Point was a battle fought outside of Hardhome between the forces of Ekkill Crowsbane and the forces of the Shadowsinned and White Mountain Clans.

Prelude
After giving his proposal of an alliance to chieftains Fedarko of the Cave Dwellers, Jorrik of the Hornfoots, Igna of the Shadowsinned and Varund of the White Mountain Clan, Ekkill Crowsbane met with motley results; Fedarko licked his lips, Jorrik wanted a woman and to break his nose, and Varund and Igna simply wanted the chieftain of the Crowkillers dead. Ekkill felt crackling flame and billowing smoke inside him; a battle, he forced, for Varund and Igna had denied his great vision and would not survive to profane the name of the free folk yet longer.

Battle
A completely one-sided conflict, the battle was won before it had even begun. Ekkill had instructed chieftain Dorian of the Shadow Sun Clan, however, to intentionally perform a reckless charge on the left flank by an all-too-eager vanguard. Half-a-hundred died, but secured the sympathy of both the victors and losers, allowing Ekkill to seize leadership of the defiant chieftains' own clansmen. Skamund Cold-Eyes, lover of Igna, escaped-- whereabouts unknown.

Aftermath
A significant portion of the opposing clans of the coalition had fallen in the battle, but recognizing their suffering, Ekkill allowed them to assist his men to prepare the burnings of dead and feast that night. He won over the White Mountain Clansmen, despite their chieftain's disagreement to his plan. Ekkill executed Varund for his crimes, to the cheers of White Mountain men. Igna's gruesome death, however, mobilized the Shadowsinned in one last effort to defy Ekkill. None of them lived to tell the tale.
