Another chapter in two parts, this time featuring the Battle of Ostagar. I've actually expanded the battle a fair bit from its portrayal in the game, both with the new tactics like the firewall and the scale of the fighting in general. Writing huge, sprawling, epic battle sequences is kinda my forte, and given Ostagar's importance to the story, I felt it deserved a more detailed look than what we got. Of course, it's up to readers like you to determine if this is better or worse than the original product. Actually managed to finish this chapter last night, following a nice birthday dinner, so I thank you all for your patience and continued support.
I must also cite both
and Avenger09 (www.fanfiction.net/u/2319612/) for their assistance with this chapter; their suggestions and construction criticism really helped to improve this installment, and for that, I'm really grateful.
Part Two of this chapter will be up shortly, if it isn't already, and I hope you all enjoy! Please let me know how I did, your comments, as ever, are very much appreciated.
