Calistan Last Stand

Alzed Masnal and his Calishite comrades faced off against the Illuskans in their infamous last stand. Both groups had arrived at the Dragonsmoke Archipelago by chance; but the Illuskans had arrived 5 years prior. They didn't learn of this unfortunate circumstance until a year into their taming of the large, strange island, but their presence was met with instant hostility.
 
Commander Gaelin struck back at the Illuskan forces and managed to show them that the Calishite people were not a force to be reckoned with. He won victory after victory after victory. The losses sustained, though, were too great. Eventually the Illuskan commanders routed the Calishites out of their hiding places and finally managed to engage with full force the Illuskan army. The Calishites were destroyed.
