− | | The allied ranks were disorganised with their archers mixed amongst their infantry line whilst [[Fontan]] deployed in good order, using their archers as a screen with some infantry support. Following a brief exchange of arrows the two amies advanced, the allied force overwhelming the [[Fontan]]ian vanguard but losing much of the momentum of their attack.

The [[Dubhaine Family/Imperial Cagilan Guard|Imperial Cagilan Guard]] were in the thick of the fighting despite heavy fatigue caused by long hours the night before helping the engineers with repairs to [[East Continent/Oberndorf|Oberndorf]]'s infrastructure.
