Defense of Pakani
Man the redoubts, hold the fort
What do you get when thousands of magisters fight each other? I'd say mostly death, and a lot of it. This island will be scarred for millennia. But we have no choice but to fight each other now. Ravana's host must not be allowed to take Pakani.During this battle, the elders of Pakani and Rienapol defeated Ravana, Bandit Commander and Plerimon in a drawn-out, bloody battle in Pakani Island. The end result is the beginning of the much larger Mui Campaign, the start of the isolationist Free State of Pagka, and a reckoning in the oligarchical society of Noralin, which turns meritocratic after a popular revolution.
The Conflict
Battlefield
Leylan Heights, just outside of Pakani City (later the Free State of Pagka). This battlefield is one of the most cursed places in the world.
Outcome
Ravana, Bandit Commander, with both her second-in-command and left-wing commander dead, retreated to her command center in Rienapol to regroup her units, which took a heavy blow. Elder Mui of Pakani, similarly, mourns over the death of his second-in-command Elder Meryl and city commander Olivia, Oracle of Pakani. His forces, too, need rest, but can't afford it: they now need to attack the mountain fortresses of the Mountain Bandits.
Aftermath
After the surprise attack by a large bandit force on an underdefended front of the city (Battle of Pinae Tais), Elder Mui decided to luck-trap the entire region outside the city walls. He also decided to call in the dreaded main forces of the Noralin Command, due to his dire situation, but never got to it, being sickened from luck exhaustion and only revived with the help of Elder Nikora Bevan.
The rather aggressive but effective Elder Kakalina Hang took command of what was Mui's forces, offensively pushing into the bandit mountains. In the meantime, Ravana, Bandit Commander somehow managed to recover from what were thought to be unrecoverable losses, and countered Kakalina's assault with her own in the north. Soon, the entire island would be blanketed in luck-minefields, the forces would be in stalemate, and a peace would have to be made.
