War Against Chaos

The tentative alliance between Cuitlaxaochitzin and Mellvellon continued in 554 as the two nations made further assaults on the evils of Palurin. Both empires marched armies to the vast reaches of the Chaos-worshipping Kaalroen Empire, separately meeting the Domovoi tribes upon the battlefield.

From the west the Lizardmen had more success. Skink legions encircled a Domovoi village and despite the presence of knights of Chaos and a lumbering Shaggoth crushed the Chaos resistance. Meanwhile the High Elves attacked from the east. Their initial invasion took the chaos by surprise and smashed through their ranks but the Domovoi unleashed a powerful magical counterattack. Both sides took losses and withdrew.

Overall the Slann and Elven mages hoped the attack might warn the Domovoi about continuing their expansion. But many thought this short sighted, and the ire of Chaos would only grow and neither empires were powerful enough to utterly defeat the vast hordes of Kaalroen. But at least the attack had strengthened the bond between Cuitlaxaochitzin and Mellvellon.
