They also had trouble dealing with the ~~gnolls~~ of Izril ~~who~~ were more inclined to band together.

	The coalition army centered around the [[Liscorian Army]] and General Sserys was not quick to get moving. It took months to bring together every army from the Drake cities not being besieged and ~~from~~ a non-aggression pact with the collective ~~gnoll~~ tribes. When they did form, they still had to fight defensively in order to protect the many ~~drake~~ cities still being attacked. One such city was the city-state of Geir that managed to hold out in an impressive defensive feat using an ancient dungeon under the city as protection. They were able to survive due to the ~~tenaciousness~~ of a [Lieutenant], [[Zel Shivertail]], as well as the courage from a young [Courier], [[Mihaela Godfrey]], who managed to run a letter out of the city ~~and~~ to General Sserys ~~about~~ the situation. Once the defenders counter-leveled enough to retake the fort above their city, General Sserys personally pincered the Antinium to stop their assault. The defenders of Geir had come out with over 40 people at level 30+ and Zel Shivertail himself had gone from a level 15 [Lieutenant] to a level 39 [General].		The coalition army centered around the [[Liscorian Army]] and General Sserys was not quick to get moving. It took months to bring together every army from the Drake cities not being besieged and form a non-aggression pact with the collective Gnoll tribes. When they did form, they still had to fight defensively in order to protect the many Drake cities still being attacked. One such city was the city-state of [[Geir]] that managed to hold out in an impressive defensive feat using an ancient dungeon under the city as protection. They were able to survive due to the tenacity of a [Lieutenant] [[Zel Shivertail]], as well as the courage from a young [Courier], [[Mihaela Godfrey]], who managed to run a letter out of the city to inform General Sserys of the situation. Once the defenders [[Classes#Counter-Leveling\|counter-leveled]] enough to retake the fort above their city, General Sserys personally pincered the Antinium to stop their assault. The defenders of Geir had come out with over 40 people at level 30+ and Zel Shivertail himself had gone from a level 15 [Lieutenant] to a level 39 [General].

	Deciding to focus their assault, the Antinium forces made a drastic change and moved every available army towards the city of [[Liscor]].

During this fight, Sserys was also held back by suicidal charges ~~by the antinium~~ who pinned his army against a mountain away from Liscor.

	As the war went on, Magnolia Reinhart remained ~~in the war as~~ a key figure~~, but~~ even with herself and the Generals ~~from drake armies~~, they were not able to win the war. Her quick action did allow the drakes to break sieges on some of the walled cities, but eventually the battle lines stagnated once more and even started moving in the Antinium's favor given their fast birth rate and willingness to sacrifice their own armies. General Sserys recommended the same strategy of sacrificing an army to take out an Antinium Queen for his own side, but the proposal was rejected. Another factor that worked against the non-antinium forces was the reveal of the Antinium's [[Prognugator\|prognugators]]. These often looked like workers, but were able to act as generals on the field and would even come back from death after a time. They individually had the prowess of silver-rank adventurers.

	Another new discovery would change the entire war as it was eventually discovered that the antinium did have a large weakness. As seen from their journey to Izril, the antinium had a horrible weakness to water. This information led to decimation of multiple antinium armies just by drowning them all. The landscape of the war changed, and the non-antinium armies were able to carry this advantage all the way into an assault on the antinium hives in a manner of weeks.

	Both sides suffered heavily from the war. The biggest casualty from the ~~drakes~~ was the loss of General Sserys, The Spear of the Drakes. The ~~antinium~~ also incurred heavy losses, though. One hive was completely destroyed, and they lost [[Rehab\|multiple]] [[Mellika\|Centenium]] during the war. Even among the Centenium that survived, many had lost their original bodies on the way to Izril and thus lost much of their original power.		Both sides suffered heavily from the war.
