The Fir Bolg warriors of Tir na n'OG expected no resistance at the northern front. They attacked with high spirits, knowing that anything the Abysians could assemble in defence would merely be a handful of troops.
They were right about the numbers. But they didn't do the math.
17 Abysian Burning Ones came in from the south to hold the pass, accompanied by an Anointed One. It was all it took to break the entire Fir Bolg army of 400 warriors. The Burning Ones erupted in flames as they charged the enemy lines. Fir Bolg warriors threw javelins as they advanced and the battle ensued. Quickly the Abysians were surrounded by the far more numerous enemies. But the difference in numbers meant nothing. The 17 Burning Ones slew 187 Fir Bolg and lost 2 of their own before the enemy turned tail and ran. A testament to the sheer quality of Abysian elite troops.
Let it be a warning to the enemies of Abysia. You will pay a price in lives of 100:1 for attacking the burning lands.
