The Rain of Pikes

Military action

729BF


The Rain of Pikes is the single greatest military defeat in the history of the Orb, and it belongs to the Dwarves.

Of the fifty-thousand Dwarvish troops that stood in formation at the beginning of that day, less than three thousand survived the through to the end of the engagement a scant ten minutes later.

Of the twenty-five thousand Tauran troops, Tauran history does not record a single death.
