    Chalke's Folly.
    Military action

    One General Phineas Chalke is assigned to the Tolkeen front as a way to remove him from Chi-Town. Instead of taking his assignment meekly, he decides to attack Tolkeen full out, naming his operation Fullbore. It is a disaster and comes to be called Chalke's Folly.
    The official story is that he was lured to the gates of Tolkeen and ambushed by enemy forces that included magic wielding demons, dragons and monsters that outnumbered his forces five to one. As the story goes, General Chalk's forces battled courageously for nearly 10 hours, but they were pinned down and eventually slaughtered. Embellishments on the story have claimed half the troops were eaten alive, and the other half captured and tortured before finally being killed. The General is said to have been one of the last to go and was carried off by demons to a fate unknown.
