Battle of the Storm

The Battle of the Storm was a brief but bloody attempt by Ashtani to unearth the ancient Marvinogian imprisoned beneath the cobbles of Shallam in summer of 575 AF. Led by the Babelonian Tanris Rozzan, Northern forces beat a path to the gates of the Citadel of Light but were continuously barred by the burnished shields and elemental flames of the Shallamese defenders, led by Draekar Rian. The Shallamese claimed victory as the Babelonians retreated to the Caverns of Enheduanna. The battle is so named because it presaged an destructive chaos storm ripping through an interplanar tear over the Bastion of the North, signaling the return of Babel.
