The Battle of Fabhcúin Oirthir was an event in the darkest days of the Ghrgii war which represented the last stand of 250 Raidhsénian warrior-scribes of the Solastic Order of Light to defend the settlement armed with primitive stone spears against possibly over 8000 marauding Ghrgii . While the men were in an untenable position and could not possibly save the town, their sacrifice saved women, children and enabled them or any other non Combatants to evacuate south away from Ghrgii lines.
The town which was a stronghold for the religious army, had been reduced to a mere fraction of its original strength because the majority of its forces had been wiped out while battling the ghrgii on the north east front.
==The Battle==
As the Ghrgii broke through the Northern line, one horde of 12 000 of the apes moved down into Raidhsénia during the spring. Fabhcúin Oirthir was their first goal, and though a town with formidable defences, it was defended by a local militia of mostly middle-aged men and young boys, strengthened by acolytes of the Solastic Order.
The Ghrgii attempted to storm Fabhcúin Oirthir over a dozen times, losing 4 000 warriors in the process. Eventually, the defenders were overwhelmed, but the Solastic Order, led by Confessor Raegen Deochaigh took one last stand against the servants of Dorchadas , allowing the women and children to flee down south. The final battle pits 250 Solastics against 8 000 Ghrgii inside the burning town. The Solastics were continuing to fight even when their shoulders and arms were shattered by battle axes.
