Army of God
In Siddarmark, the war turns uglier as the Desnarian army decimates 2 Siddarmarkian pike regiments, and the survivors are "mercifully" killed upon the orders the Desnarian commander who is horrified by the idea of handing them over to the Inquisition as ordered. In the Northern and Western provinces, the Army of God crushes all remaining resistance to the Temple Loyalists while the Inquisition moves in to establish internment camps where people suspected of heresy can be properly "questioned". In the Sylmahn Gap, the Army of God purposefully throws wave after wave of its troops at the Siddarmarkian forces holding the Gap in an attempt to overwhelm the defenders. Despite horrendous losses on both sides, the Siddarmarkian troops manage to hold their position. In the West, Brigadier Taisyn along with 4,000 Siddarmarkian and Charisian troops, blocks a critical river to prevent the Army of God from sweeping into Glacierheart. And in the South, Earl of Hanth manages to ambush the vanguard of the Royal Dohlaran Army forcing them to retreat, but lacking enough troops to overwhelm their new fortified position, he is forced to fortify his position with the Imperial Desnairian Army closing in from the South.
