    Destruction of the Dwarven Gearfleet at Crystal River

    During the Great War there were hundreds of minor skirmishes that never really held any significance or titles, songs of lost battles and valiant stands that do not have exact dates abound as do stories of heroes with no name. The Battle at Crystal River would have been one of those were it not for the brave actions of a lone archmagus.

    The Battle at Albrook
    Military action

    Albrook was a staging site for the Alliance and was there to stop a rumored advance party of Clockwork assassin's. In the night the three Psions they had brought turned and attacked the resting elven/human alliance, slaying them in their sleep. Their powers ripped through the tents with waves of force and caused the sentries great pain when they rushed to their defense. In minutes the Alliance was reeling, trying to regroup and protect the villagers, losing men faster than the Magus's could erect walls of earth and air to try and stop them.
