Battle of Malvont

Midway through November of 1441, Baldur laid siege to Malvont City under the command of Highman Grax. The initial attack was considered a success.
== The Overall Attack ==
The Baldur and Malvont navies engaged off the coast of the temple island. Malvont was attacked on the ground by orc soldiers and by legions of the undead. Baldur used dragons to attack from the air, which Malvont countered with an airborne defense platform carrying powerful mages. 
When it became clear that Malvont City was either going to fall outright or otherwise be massively crippled, King Avimeus was teleported to another location until Malvont became safe for him again. The Motherbrain planeshifted, along with almost all of the other Malvont mindflayers. 
== Major Figures ==
=== Baldur ===
*Brezcar the Bold commanded Baldur's naval fleet.
*Pyotar Umarov appeared following a two, and flew away in the direction of the Baldur forces.
*Royt Avampour was riding a black dragon in formation with the Baldur navy. 
=== Malvont ===
*Janadan Vishnu engaged the Baldur forces in his newly constructed mech. 
*The Toggenburg Corporation fought both from the Jade Kraken II and on land.
*Raizel Deadeye was among the Malvont forces fighting in the streets.
== The Involvement of the Party ==
The Toggenburg Corporation first lent aid to the Malvont navy on the order of their patron Vishnu. They defeated two dragons through rather unorthodox means and took down Brezcar's battle cruiser while they were at it. Royt was also killed during this encounter. 
Next, the party defeated a necromental on the Malvont docks and cleared the streets of the Outer Circle of a whole ton of zombies. They briefly encountered Pyotar Umarov, but no blows were exchanged between the two. 
The party then met some Malvont soldiers guarding refugee citizens, and on their information, headed into a series of tunnels to the Malvont library. There, they fought a Beholder and rescued Kryde, the head librarian and archivist. Kryde teleported to King Avimeus and brought him to safety.
Upon realizing that Malvont will fall, the party fled back to their ship and sought refuge in Corinth for the winter. Tobo Lakhanai, master rhapsody and party entertainer, began to write La Batalle Malvenia, an epic in Elven.
== The Aftermath ==
Vishnu took partial command of what remaining army there was, and kept fighting back against the Baldur forces. Once Kingspire and the Inner Circle were secured, King Avimeus returned along with his heir, Prince Avimeus V. By September of 1442, Malvont had also reclaimed the Theater District in Merchantius. At that time, King Avimeus ordered the most powerful of the city's defenders to go stop Baldur from getting their hands on the Frozen Fates, as the Baldur forces were so weakened that he felt that the Malvont army could hold Baldur off in its current state. Shortly thereafter, Malvont reclaimed the Second Circle. 
On December 1, 1442, Supreme Dictator Grax ended the Malvont occupation.
As of January of 1443, neither the Malvont Motherbrain nor the mindflayers have reappeared.
