Before the fight even begins it is obvious the effects are felt as agents from both sides range through the opposing forces. It soon becomes obvious that the Skulding and their allies have a major advantage in the shadow war. The Skuldings own defenses are rock solid and the agents of the Mountain King and Celts in Exile are unable to determine any information or sabotage any Skulding forces. Meanwhile on the opposite side unknown agents wreak havoc in the Mountain King's approaching vanguard. + mil of walkers is destroyed outright, an several regiments of tunnel troops become violently ill [++++ mil disabled]. The Mountain King commanders can only assume that this is the work of the Skulding's allies the Loki Brigade.

The battle in Theosoph lands is fierce. Fog obscures the battlefield as the Diggernaughts release their reservoirs, but the Skulding are not feared for nothing. Their warriors are experts at fighting in any conditions and respond to the Mountain King's troop movements with precision and berserker fury. On the ground the begin to push back the Mountain King's forces, but in the air the Loki Brigade's fleets being to fall to the superior Transylvanian air fleet. At this point the Celts display superior resolved. Moving forward with valor they begin ruthlessly paying the Skulding back for the indignities of the past. And with air superiority the coalition forces begin to push back the Skulding, but then the Skulding play their trump card. The ground rumbles and then bursts open as a massive spider walker emerges from the depths. Although smaller than any Diggernaught its armor is thicker and its weapons are larger. It begins firing to devastating effect on the Transylvanian air fleet allowing the battered Loki Brigade to pull back.

As the fog and smoke clears both sides pull back and regard each other over the carnage of the battlefield. A stalemate has been achieved, but even so the forces at play equaled anything that occurred in the Great War and casualties were high on both sides. As the opposing forces pull back to tend their wounds the screams of the dead and dying echo over the battlefield. And from the nearby hills a large force of Parisian mercenaries with furled banners watch the scene unfold.
