A [[Drake]] army formed by three [[Walled Cities]] and lesser city-states marched across the Antinium border, into the foothills and forbidden zone. They conducted a surprise attack and siege on the Hive, using rain spells to drown the [[Free Queen|queen]] within.

Initially, [[Klbkch]] the Slayer and [[Xrn]] the Small Queen were the only [[Prognugator|Prognugators]] nearby to defend against the siege. Attempting to save the Queen, who was vulnerable to drowning, Klbkch led a suicidal, full-scale assault. Xrn joined him and led a second charge of Workers. [[Wrymvr]] the Deathless, the third [[Antinium#Centenium|Centenium]], was released from his duties by the [[Grand Queen]]. He led the [[Flying Antinium]] reinforcements to battle in time for Klbkch to save the young Free Queen. This would mark the first significant meeting between Klbkch and his Queen.

Some Drake city states had not been aware of the Drake attack and immediately requested for a cease-fire and end to hostilities. In response, the Grand Queen ignored the requests and launched a retaliatory counterattack.{{ref|The Antinium Wars Pt3}}
