Battle of Accan

The Battle of Accan was a prolonged and bloody war in 1257 fought against the village of Wiccan.

The villages of Accan and Wiccan existed peacefully for many years, until one day Little Johnny Accan went away to Wiccan.

The Accans wanted Johnny back, but he never came back. The pressure for Johnny to return grew and grew until the night of 13th January 1257 when a group of hunters & hooligans gathered at the local pub, The Accan Arms. There they formed a plan to burn down Wiccan and take Little Johnny Accan back home.

History
The battle started as a group of hunters and hooligans made their way across the Moors of Waccan, towards Wiccan, with the sole intent of burning down Wiccan and to recapture Little Johnny Accan.

As the group approached the borders or Wiccan, they were met by the Warriors of Wiccan. This was unexpected for the Accans and they made a hasty retreat to form a battle group of their own.

After twenty minutes the Accans returned to the outskirts of Wiccan as the Armada or Accan, ready for battle.

Phases of Battle
The first night saw much bloodshed. It was estimated that at least two people died on the first night the first being the founder of Yeans & Yackets Co, Arthur Gethem. The battle raged long into the next day, when it was expected that both warring sides would shake hands and go home. This did not happen, however, and the battle continued.

During the following days, the battle grew larger and more voilent, the Warriors of Wiccan threw stones and mud at the Accan Armada, to which they responded with instant tears.

The Accans captured the Wiccans' General, Jarry Jagson, and held him captive in the cellar or the Accan Arms. They insisted the Wiccans cease the war and surrender, or they would slaughter the General. They did not respond, as it was Wiccan protocol to forget their captured comrades and continue fighting.

General Jarry Jagson escaped from the Accan Arms and made his way back to Wiccan, carrying stolen battle plans left in the pub by the Accans' own General. They used these plans to form the next phase of battle.
