Editing Army of the Goblin Lord (section)

===Pallass and Esdras Coalition Battle===
As the Goblin Lord gained in power, Izril began to make their own moves to suppress the army. Two armies were sent out, each about 10,000 strong. One was from Pallass and the walled cities led by [[Thrissiam Blackwing]], and the other was from the Esdras Coalition led by [[Garusa Weatherfur]]. These armies formed up together thinking that they were there to hunt the goblins, but the Goblin Lord attacked first. He picked off scouting parties over a few days and left them buried as undead under the snow. Once the armies were sufficiently surrounded, they attacked. Reiss included his exploding undead in the assault as well. He also blocked outgoing message spells during the assault. With the use of undead and ambush tactics, Reiss was able to deliver a constant attack for multiple days. Even with this, though, the two armies surprised him by committing half of their army to a deep strike at the Goblin Lord. When the strike led by Garusa was about to succeed, the Goblin Lord's [[Az’kerash|master]] had to intercede. He killed Garusa as well as a large swathe of the strike force then raised them all as undead. With half of the army dead, it was simple for Reiss to clean up the rest. He destroyed both armies but captured [[Osthia Blackwing]] to get information about his master, Az'kerash.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/02/24/4-16/ Chapter 4.16]</ref>
