The Ride of Eorl  by Arnakhor 1 Review(s)
SageReviewed Chapter: 31 on 2/24/2026
The integration of the storm into the battle accentuates the action. Also, you must have read a good deal about battle tactics for the era of fighting; it shows in the battle plans and actions during the battle.

Author Reply: The storm saves their lives. But it involves a careful decision by Cirion on timing and the placement of his resources in his surprise precipitious retreat. I wanted the reader to appreciate the feel for the movement of the battle, the reforming of lines to meet a challenge, then an escape using the storm for cover.
