Battle of Um'taran

The Battle of Um'taran was the final, cataclysmic confrontation between the massed Hordes of the Dark God and the last strength of the Old World in 2147, during the First Calamity.

Battle
The Fourth Host of Man marched onto Drangesh, hoping to draw the dread Dark God out, so that he could be vanquished with the Flamesword. But, instead, the Dark God issued forth from all of the dark caverns and tunnels under the earth the largest Gakta army ever seen, numbering in the millions. The Host was immediately assailed, and it was said that for three days they warred, mountainous piles of corpses piling at their feet. But then, seeing his Hordes weakened, the Dark God sent out the Dragons and the Kasijaks, who struck at the surviving Men and drove them back. Now, with victory within his grasp, the Dark God came himself, a figure suspended within a swirling black vortex, aiming to claim victory for himself. But it was then that Mardar Valamentar, leader of the Host, unveiled the Flamesword. The Dark God was struck down, his Hordes obliterated, the Dragons falling in flame from the skies. Earthquakes riveted the plain, and the rim of the earth cracked. The few survivors of the Host (who numbered less than 5,000) limped south, to rebuild what they could of a shattered world.
