Battle at the Qos Spear (KOSS)
The Battle at the Qos Spear was a notable engagement of the War of the Six in the Season of Opening of 988AC. It marked the arguably most notable -- and last -- attempt by Violet Accord forces to invade Ustraria in an attempt to take and besiege Korzhûn, the seat of the Pact of the Blessèd, in response to the latter's attack on Keismeb the prior year following the Charge of the Martyrs.
Prior pushes north by the Accord had been smaller or focused in brute force in the Central Theater; this assault, however, involved a two-pronged push by both land (the Qos Spear itself) and water (the Tubisqu River). Following the Pact's defensive maneuvers, the Tubisqu River was organized as a desperate counterstrike that was ultimately successful in thwarting the attempt, but at great cost.
