Whilst the Army of Old Grehk was raiding Xerus, Thalmarkin and Fronen stormed the stronghold Vatrona and defeated the Garrison. The easterners attempted unsuccessfully to induce the population to change their allegiance, whilst Old Grehk and Sint massed in Kell. When the Western Alliance marched to relieve the seige, the ensuring battle was bloody; ten nobles suffered wounds including King Piru Petteri Cosula of Thalmarkin (who was gravely injured) and High Marshal Askarn Iltaran of Old Grehk. At the end of the battle the Western Alliance held the field; barely one in nine easterner soldiers escaped unharmed.
