While Westeros is slowly preparing to leave winter behind, [N0X] OliverQ is preparing for a 2nd round of his favorite event, Arena of Honor. After a disastrous round 1, where he and his team barely managed to beat the AI NPCs and get a 3rd place, he's determined to do better this time and hopefully get a first place to get back on track. While his researchers are still away of discovering the valyrian steel weapons, he managed to upgrade his commander weapons and even went on a quest to get another dragon skill for his main dragon. That took him almost 2 weeks and in before he knew, it was already Sunday and the time for him to go to head towards mercenary camp once again. As soon as he arrived there, he headed directly to the registration office and signed the papers required to participate in the round and then waited patiently for the matchmaking to be done by the Old Gods.

As soon as the matchmaking concluded, the battlefield doors opened and the house representatives got out to choose the mercenaries that will fight in their name this round. OliverQ was chosen by Sansa Stark and together with him Sansa also choose [VME]KameleoN, [Rnd]pagwagon, [K0H]Ghost35, [NoL]Begamir, [NoL]Mithlondir and [PgB]Tourer.

After the teams got chosen, everyone headed towards their Clan Castle with OliverQ heading towards the frozen north where House Stark's Clan Castle is located. Once they arrived there, everyone started setting their camps and OliverQ sent a few spies to see what the other houses are up to.

The spies got back with news just before the fight start, and despite having a lot of strong warriors on the battlefield, no house was looking to push ahead, at least on paper. The fight started quickly after with the opening of the first set of strongholds and everyone rushed towards them, at least on paper, in reality only like 5 of the 10 warriors from the team sent armies to occupy them.

The team decided to go with military camps in hopes to occupy the Greyjoy's Clan Castle as quickly as possible but because they built the camps a little too slow and didn't manage to secure the clan castle on the first NPC attack, the Targaryen's took advantage of the situation and managed to take'it instead.

That miss dropped the morale of the team quite a bit but as there was nothing they could do about 'it they decided to focus on the things they could actually change, the battle for altars. The battle for altars started a bit slow as it usually does with every house getting their first altars, but as more and more altars were opening and the need for points was growing bigger, it started getting very bloody. Having to be all over the battlefield, OliverQ didn't had time to scout the altars before trying to solo them and at a point it started costing him greatly.

After getting crushed in ways never encountered in Westeros's modern history, OliverQ decided to slow down and scout before hitting as losing like that wouldn't help anyone. The scouting helped a lot as his hits turned out to be swift and decisive and the Starks were getting quite some altars under their control. While the armies were stretched out already with so many battles on altars, the City of Glory was about to drop the protection bubble and open for attacks as well

As soon as the city dropped the bubble, the rallies started from all the sides as none of the warriors were strong enough to solo the neutral NPCs out of the city. Sansa decided to send [Rnd]pagwagon and [3OB]92Nnoxa92 to rally for the house while the other 2 houses also sent several warriors to make rallies.

In a matter of minutes, the rallies were already marching towards the city and one of the Starks rallies arrived 1st, took the city from the neutral NPCs and the team prepared their defenses as quickly as possible. The rallies from House Lannister and House Stark hit quickly after and the battle started getting very bloody.

The city was changing ownership with each rally hitting, it was looking like none of the houses were having the reinforcements needed to hold'it for the 4 minutes. There were so many troops falling on both defenses and offenses that the snowy vale quickly turned into red from the blood spilled however none of the houses were willing to give up the win on this round so they fought each other valiantly until almost the end of the battle when Targaryen's managed to somehow find the strength to reinforce in time and their defense hold the lines for the 4 minutes.

But while they didn't manage to hold the City of Glory, Starks managed to run a side business behind the lines and conquered the Greyjoy's and Baratheon's clan castles.

That offered them a boost in the fame points at the end of the battle and they almost managed to defeat the Targaryen's in points despite them having the City of Glory.

Despite not being able to win this round, OliverQ and his team played extremely well, and they had the win in their hands for most of the round. OliverQ took the rewards and head back to the [N0X] castle with hopes that on the next round he'll finally be able to get a win and start securing some big fame points. See you all on the battlefield!
