Prelude

The day had started off with high tensions, after a report of an ISA patrol the legion rallied and deployed at the border of East Fleet. A legion officer on a scouting mission, Ragrin Ireheart, was then captured, and the legion began to move into imperial territory before encountering the released Ragrin. Most legionnaires then dispersed, though some companies began small scale missions. The Ferrymen notably began a commando skirmish on an elven settlement, capturing the elven Arch Chancellor, Minuvas, and dragging him to Stonetower by Eastfleet.

Battle

The ISA began to rally to rescue their Arch Chancellor, deploying just outside on the road in the shadow of the tower. To their shock and horror, military mind Diomé Indoren had anticipated their deployment and orchestrated with Count Gaspard van Aert a massive flanking force to strike the ISA behind. After the devastating pincer maneuvering by the Urguani forces, the ISA broke ranks and scattered, leading to a couple thousand casualties against few dwarven losses, and the capture of numerous officers.

Aftermath

The prisoners were then marched south to the Halls of Ancient Might, Kal'Darakaan, and lined up before the Grand King of Urguan.
