 The Irillian army was strong and in order to ensure victory Atahscar bargained with [[people:​Nokhask]],​ the leader of a tribe of orcs driven further north by the Irillians. The orcs were promised gold and a large number of Irillians as their prizes. In the end the Indus, supported by a large number of orcs and Bzynathim mercenaries attacked Valparia. The Governor of Valparia was foolish and had most of his army scattered over his lands, thus the city fell with little resistance. Its wealth was plundered and many of its free populace given over to Nokhask'​s tribesmen. The Irillian army was strong and in order to ensure victory Atahscar bargained with [[people:​Nokhask]],​ the leader of a tribe of orcs driven further north by the Irillians.

-[[people:​Unthos Maximus]], the Irillian Emperor, was incensed at this betrayal, but it was the turning over of Irillian citizens to the orcs that fueled his rage. In response to the attack, Unthos had the entire household of the Indus consul hung and their bodies left to rot. The consul was gelded and had his eyes plucked out before being allowed to return home. Three [[lore:Irillian Legion|legions]] where raised ([[orgs:II Valparia]], [[orgs:III Valparia]], and [[orgs:IV Valparia]]) and immediately marched on Indus.+[[people:​Unthos Maximus]], the Irillian Emperor, was incensed at this betrayal, but it was the turning over of Irillian citizens to the orcs that fueled his rage.

 The Irillian Army took no prisoners as each village they passed through was put to the sword. Crops were burned and livestock killed and left rotting in the sun. The Indus received no help as the Irillian Navy landed north of Valparia cutting them off from Nokhask'​s tribesmen. Surrounded and with no hope of defeating the Irillian Army, Atahscar tried to end the war on peaceful terms - but it was far too late for negotiation. The Irillian Army took no prisoners as each village they passed through was put to the sword.
