The battle of Shandalai

In the year 18 of the Permenia Calendar, an alliance was forged between the Seraphon and Idoneth, as the forces of chaos became stronger in the northern Neuvian region of Izmael. North of Izmael the plains gave way to marshlands in the land of Shandalai, where wide rivers flowed down from the tall mountains that hid the secretive realm of Tizca, to the cold northern seas. Here the chaos armies could be stopped from breaking out into Aedacia, and falling on the Quemaran colony of Champieu from the north. The Aelves had no particular qualms about the Quemarans falling to chaos, but the loss of access to the entire nothern coast of Neuvia gave them common cause with the Seraphon, who were still working to support the men of Sigmar and their allies, in order to stop their most hated foe.

The battle of Shandalai was a crushing victory for the forces of order. The Slaanesh host was destroyed early on in the battle, leaving the devotees of nurgle outnumbered and at risk of encirclement. The nurgle host did manage to inflict some casualties as it retreated back to the hinterlands of the chaos realm, but the borderlands and the floodplains of the river Shand were secured for the forces of order, at least for the time being.
