Robert Royce and Jon Redfort stormed the Gates of the Moon thrice. Despite their heavy losses, they broke the defending savages the third time. The Bronze Lord led the decisive attack himself and was said to have personally killed "scores of savages" along with Shagga the Falconslayer himself. The wildlings were now fully broken, and there was no surrender. Every fighter, be it man or woman, old or young, was put to the sword. The children were not spared either; the Valemen's fury from the Crimson Feast was still fresh. After this unrestrained slaughter, the mountain clans of the Vale were no more. A scant few scattered remains survived, only to dwindle into oblivion in the following years.
