Mouse Guard Year 2: War

Hail all those who are able. Any mouse can, any mouse will, but the Guard will prevail.

Heroes fall, heroes break, heroes bleed.
They shed bitter tears, pull themselves up, not to concede.
Often are they waylaid and frequent they mourn.
Heroes are rarely made and even more seldom born.
Not till after they die, do mice sing of their tale.
A job, a duty, a thankless obligation not to fail.
Still many a mouse think only the name is required.
What becomes of them? They either quit or expired.

- A Heroes' Warning, by the Scribe Roibin

Two patrols of mice venture forth to guard the territories in year 1149. They are the Mouse Guard, heroes in name and deed. Were it not for the guard, mouse society could never exist. Under our brave paws, we will keep everymouse safe, from all manner of harm. No matter what.

War 01 - Weasel’s Meeting

Outside the territories, a few feet below the surface, in the Banquet Hall of Darkheather, Overlord Savash holds a feast. Every Tunnel Lord has come, from near and very very far, to hold council, and make plans for Savash's war with the mice.

This episode was edited by Yuria.

War 02 - The Winter War

It is a bitter winter, frigid and tragic, but the spring still comes. It always will.

Our story has always been the story of how the Winter War of 1149 came to be. This final episode is the war itself. We leave our campaign on what each of our Guildmice did that season, as well as many other creatures across the Territories.

 

Epilogue 1 - Zeke Plans a Wedding

The days of 1150 have work to be done, and some tasks are happy ones. Zeke and Christophe return to Elmoss, the place where they met, to begin their married lives together. But first, there's a party to plan, and relatives to meet, and good gracious what has Tander done this time.

Epilogue 2 - Zeke Gets Married

As the wedding comes, each day is busier than the one before. Tensions and anxieties run high. Everyone's thoughts turn to love and romance, past present and future. This is the wedding of Zeke and Christophe, the first time after the Winter Was that many of these mice felt happy without a pang of guilt following it.
