The Conflict
Prelude
the exoduses of the 12 archons saw 4 tribes of slavs sail up river and then trek north to the lands where the principality of setercha would stand. however the tribes soon splintered into petty kingdoms and standards Waring with one another. this on of series of wars effected elven trade and prevented elven millitary caravans from moving south. so a collection of elven kings banded toghter and marched south on the tribes. the northern most tribe the milos's gathered an army of 3000 men under there archon Mio. he then told the other tribes including Devrem mentanivc of the mentanvic tribe came first and then the other two tribes joined and there host came to 9000 men. this army was all foot soldiers armed with swords and axes with wooden shields. marching south was a force of 12000 elven troops of which 3000 was mounted.
the elven army was on a raise as the bones of dead horse where found under the ground at the foot of a hill just east of Belgrodna
the day started with bright sun shine it is said in the accounts.
the elven opened with there artillery and archers who raised fire down upon the slav troops. in the rear mio prayed with deverm and the other archons. by the time the elven cavalry where ready the thunder stroms began and the rain poured down. the 4 slav rulers decere that the goddess of thunder and storm was on there side that day and as the elven cavalry charged there horse slipped in the mud.
the slavs charge and where able to take men from there horse and kill the elven riders and then charged up the hill to attack the elven troops. wood elf troops guarded the retreat of the other elven troops using magic to counter the slavs. when the battle ended the thunder storms dissipated. Mio killed an elven prince in single combat and took his sword the massive two handed great sword wife's bane (which would become the ancestral sword of house of milos)
after the battle the milo's traveled west to find a new home while the other three stayed and built a states in there own right. each tribe birthed more tribes and soon there where more slav tribes than had traveled north 7000YBCW during the exoduses of the 12 archons
