Challenge #04679-L295: Just So, No Snow

The war against the Northern Kingdom has not gone well. Now the remnants of the Southern army ready themselves behind the walls of their final castle, hoping for a miracle to break the siege. -- Deathshead419

They had fallen for one of the classic blunders - never get involved in a land war in the Northlands. Their worst and cruellest general was the very winter itself. Freezing boiling soup before it reached the bowl. Freezing men in their tents. Freezing breath so that their very words snowed upon the ground. And worse were the beasts that the mad Northmen had in their employ.

Dogs the size of bears. Gobelliin bred to withstand the cold with thick fur pelts. So very many things gone Dire, including the Northmen themselves.

Some of them went into battle wearing little else but a loincloth and body paint. They were clearly madmen and definitely devastating. They were also absolutely terrifying because, if they ran out of their enemies to attack, they would start laying in to their allies.
