When the capital city of Regnis fell, King Richard sent half of the invading forces north to root out the remaining Ossen. When the armies reached the "" mountains they were faced with a well intrenched army. For over a year the Kingdom's forces attempted to cross lake "". When this failed they attempted to bother cross and maneuver around the "" mountains. All these attempts failed with a significant loss of life.
