The Battle of Zakkasil

The Battle of Zakkasil was the confrontation between the enormous Eldar-Men Host and the even larger forces of the Dark God, near present-day Tynheri.

Battle
The Eldar-Men Host summoned was gigantic, totalling in the hundreds of thousands, with upwards of 50,000 Eldar present. It faced an even larger collection of Keth, Trolls and the recently possessed Dragons, and the battle was second only to the Battle of the Darkness in that conflict.

The Keth were blown away like leaves in a wildfire under the sorcery of the Eldar, but heavy casualties were sustained when the Flesh-Angels showed themselves. The Trolls and Dragons exacted a terrible toll.

But the massed legions of the world were far harder to beat than the Dark God had at first assumed. Jaleuh'huisi, first Tribe-King of all men, strangled the greatest of the Troll chieftains with his bare hands. Cil-Nuhûtis wielded the Moon Lance, doing great deeds. The Horde seemed about to rout. it became a battle of the mighty against the mighty, and for a moment it seemed that the combined Hosts would triumph.

Then Jaleuh'huisi was beheaded by Imizthul, leader of the Horde. Without leadership, his men dispersed. Cil-Nuhûtis, knowing the day was lost, attempted to withdrawal as more of his forces were slaughtered. Cil-Vanhutu, famed Eldar warrior, was lost under raging masses of Keth. Inghulia, the impossibly ancient Lord of Non Karansol, was incinerated by Dragon fire. Cil-Kurracax, advancing to Jaleuh'huisi's position, found only his severed head. The hope vanished like a quenched flame.
