	The '''Battle of Castle Aquilon''' was the final battle between the [[Redstone Alliance]] raiders and the defending [[United Federation of Provinces]]. The attack was planned in the keep atop Helmsdeep, after which the military forces of the [[Kingdom of Redstonia]], [[Empire of Kythira\|Kingdom of Kythira]] and the [[Kingdom of Helmsdeep]] moved to the Riverlands, hiding in the abandoned outpost of [[Blackwater Base]] - Blackwater Base coincidentally being the only base in the Riverlands which was never raided. From there, they observed [[Castle Aquilon]], waiting for the right moment to strike. As dusk arrived, the forces of ~~Helmsdeep moved in. Fierce fighting broke out between~~ the ~~castle~~'s garrison (consisting of remnants of the U.F.P. Army and Riverlander mercenaries) and the attackers. Even though Castle Aquilon was massively outnumbered, Helmsdeep was unable to successfully besiege the fortress.		The '''Battle of Castle Aquilon''' was the final battle between the [[Redstone Alliance]] raiders and the defending [[United Federation of Provinces]]. The attack was planned in the keep atop Helmsdeep, today the headquarters of the Mercenary Bank, after which the military forces of the [[Kingdom of Redstonia]], [[Empire of Kythira\|Kingdom of Kythira]] and the [[Kingdom of Helmsdeep]] moved to the Riverlands, hiding behind some hills south of the King's Mountains.

	~~However~~, the arrival of the Redstonian Artillery Corps ~~ended~~ the ~~stalemate; an artillery barrage tore down~~ the castle~~'s walls and~~ the ~~attackers began their assault~~. ~~Outnumbered and outgunned~~, the ~~defenders were slaughtered and their morale quickly broken. The majority~~ of ~~both~~ the ~~Riverlander mercenaries~~ and the ~~volunteer army fled the battle~~ and ~~disbanded into~~ the ~~outskirts~~.		Having observed [[Castle Aquilon]], they moved forward with their siege. As dusk arrived, the Helmsdeep military moved in. Whilst much of the Riverlander mercenaries had abandoned the castle earlier, a small military garrison still remained, able to hold the fortress. Upon the arrival of the Redstonian Artillery Corps, bringing with them the legendary Redstonian Cannons, the castle quickly surrendered. After moving in their forces, the Consul Republic was however nowhere to be found. Upon this discovery, the Kythirans, having gained intel about a federation bunker earlier, detonated a large bomb just outside of the castle, blowing up the bunker's ceiling and allowing the Kythirans to move in and kill the consul.

	~~The~~ few ~~spoils of war~~ were ~~divided~~ between the victors. Helmsdeep, ~~with help from Redstonia, made sure that~~ the ~~Federation castle would be unusable~~ in the ~~future, preventing the return of a unified Riverlands~~.		After the battle ended the few supplies left in the castle were split between the victors, whilst the Redstonian and Helmsdeep forces flooded the bunker and blocked the castle's roof, rendering it useless to defend the Riverlands. As a final insult, a large Helmsdeep flag was raised above the fortress, where it stood until the Kythirans removed in during the Third Era.

	A battle.		The '''Battle of Castle Aquilon''' was the final battle between the [[Redstone Alliance]] raiders and the defending [[United Federation of Provinces]]. The attack was planned in the keep atop Helmsdeep, after which the military forces of the [[Kingdom of Redstonia]], [[Empire of Kythira\|Kingdom of Kythira]] and the [[Kingdom of Helmsdeep]] moved to the Riverlands, hiding in the abandoned outpost of [[Blackwater Base]] - Blackwater Base coincidentally being the only base in the Riverlands which was never raided.

Fierce fighting broke out between the castle's garrison (consisting of remnants of the U.F.P. Army and Riverlander mercenaries) and the attackers. Even though Castle Aquilon was massively outnumbered, Helmsdeep was unable to successfully besiege the fortress.

			However, the arrival of the Redstonian Artillery Corps ended the stalemate; an artillery barrage tore down the castle's walls and the attackers began their assault. Outnumbered and outgunned, the defenders were slaughtered and their morale quickly broken. The majority of both the Riverlander mercenaries and the volunteer army fled the battle and disbanded into the outskirts.

			The few spoils of war were divided between the victors. Helmsdeep, with help from Redstonia, made sure that the Federation castle would be unusable in the future, preventing the return of a unified Riverlands.
