Dae'tok invades southern Icewall, battles highland regiment.

After a week of naval warfare between the Yinn Dae'tok kingdom and the Nordmaar fleet, the Dae'tok transports docked at south Icewall this morning. Yinn soldiers and members of the Dae'tok Royal guard flooded the area. They were met with resistance by Ganth regulars who defeated the scattered yinn on the west coast in small skirmishes. The bigger battle, which the highlanders have dubbed "the battle of mutt bay", was one of the bloodiest in recent history. The yinn soldiers were unstoppable driving through the Nordmaar troops all of the way north into their highlands. The Dae'tok royal guards invaded Nordmaar before being driven out by the Nordmaar 1st regiment, led by 2nd lieutenant and Knight Ultan Wallace. Casualties on both sides were extreme. Such prominent leaders such as the Dae'tok Vice Admiral of their navy and 4 Nordmaar Clan leaders died in today's battles. The Macgregor, Gunn, Wallace, and Macleod elders were all massacred. The mutt bay battle lasted 2 days with the Yinn eventually fleeing. Will the war just escalate or did the highlanders of Nordmaar deter history repeating itself with another world invasion by the Yinn. Only time will tell.
