Sky Battle of Daskaran

Military action

Although it was a relatively minor engagement the Sky Battle of Daskaran signaled a new dimension to the war.

This first aerial battle occurred between 27 Sky Knights of Aundair and 30 Wyvernriders of Thrane.   The conflict was watched from the parapets of Daskaran and fought across a vast expanse of sky. Six wyverns and five dragonhawks plummeted to their death, and both sides claimed victory. Because the riders came from aristocrats on both sides, the battle became a symbol of the chivalry and honorable combat lost later in the war.
