Battle of Xiang Feng

Military action

Atop the tallest peak in eastern Dathenay, an alliance of Dragons, Kinnara, and rebel Humans fight against the Invaders. Though they are defeated, it comes at significant cost to the Invaders, leading them to divert their forces elsewhere.

Xiang Feng attributes its founding to Mù Lǐngdǎo, a commander in the slave legions of the Invaders. In the early days of the Invasion, the dark legions swarmed across Dathenay, fighting with the beings of Wings and Light as well as the Dragons of the Sky. Although Mù was a loyal warrior, ascending in the ranks higher than a man normally could within the dark legions, he found beauty in both the land and the passion of its peoples to defend it.   And so Mù cast off the shackles of the Invaders, and turned his forces against his dark masters. Even so, the loyalist forces were too great. The Broken Sea came to be and Dathenay was reduced to tainted ashes. Upon a single mountain however, in a great golden citadel, Mù and the land’s remaining defenders had one final stand. They were utterly decimated, but not without inflicting considerable harm against the Invaders. Their attention drawn elsewhere, the Invaders left mountain silent, and the lands beyond pristine.   The survivors would go on to settle the remaining fertile lands, riding out the rest of the Invasion. As Xiang Feng was mysteriously protected from the wasting of the world, Xiang Feng's time keeping organizes itself into different ages separate from the Cycle system used by other lands.
