Since crossing the Helong Mountain Range, the might of the Dwarves had seemed nearly unstoppable.
Despite a recent defeat that severely damaged the Second Dwarf Legion, under the direction of Kafu the Sixth, and bolstered by the superior transport capabilities of the Steam Train, the Second Legion had quickly reorganized. The forces of Kaelonde amounted to as many as eighty thousand soldiers.

Half of them were equipped with fine breastplates, an enormous advantage compared to the Golanese army, where less than one-third were so armored.
