The furious Mosk-Sopoh began preparing for a conquest on Nadd and Troun.
The furious Mosk-Sopoh began preparing for a conquest on Nadd and Troun.
Meanwhile, Deeras refused to submit to Mosk-Sopoh and the family was able to put together a 10,000-strong army, comprised of mercenaries, mostly from the [[Oaleed]], but also from Urnoty, Jojnoh and Aagaloh.
Meanwhile, Deeras refused to submit to Mosk-Sopoh and the family was able to put together a 10000-strong army, comprised of mercenaries, mostly from the [[Oaleed]], but also from Urnotys, Jojnohs and Aagalohs. This army then invaded Toor, forcing Mosk-Sopoh to forgo his preparations for a new conquest and respond. He led a 5000-strong Gaskal force against the mercenaries, who by this time managed to enter Ydoh Rol. The gole was able to force them out and push them back to Palas, then Dol, at which point the mercenary army fled to the west.
Mosk-Sopoh then proceeded to Deeras and attacked the city, defeating it easily: the city had almost no armed forces defending it and seemed to be very sparsely inhabited. There were also no members of the Deeras family. Mosk-Sopoh largely spared the lives of the city's citizens, proclaiming it to be under his jurisdiction and assigning Uroh Maadoh as Murdoh.
However, as the toorians were passing through Dol, they were ambushed by several Negy armies, which used the mountainous region to their advantage and very quickly surrounded the relatively small army of the gole. The encounter turned out to be a disaster for Mosk-Sopoh. Suffering heavy losses, the army is able to fight its way out and return to Gaskal. Just a week later news arrived that the Deeras family returned to the city and that Uroh Maadoh was executed.
Less then a month later Troun invades Toor and burns down Palased. By this time Mosk-Sopoh's court was already long in the process of putting together an army for a future conquest against Troun, so in spite of heavy losses at Dol, Mosk-Sopoh was able to lead an army of about 8000 against the invaders. A key battle happened in a region known today as Kees. The Troun army was led by Troun's gole [[Mod Dorvysoh]].
Uroh Maadoh warns about Deeras and Mosk-Sopoh adds pressure. At this time naddians attack and meanwhile Deeras instigates an invasion by hiring several armies from Oaleed and others. Mosk-Sopoh is not able to respond to the naddians and Ydoh Rol is ransacked. Mosk-Sopoh invades Deeras and defeats their main city, but is badly defeated on his way out of the mountainous area. At this time Troun invades. Mosk-Sopoh responds and is successful, but a lot of losses and Ydoh Rol is again ransacked. Meanwhile, Deeras invades southern Toor. Mosk-Sopoh then marches to quell the invasion. Deeras forces retreat and toorians follow and again dealt a huge blow on the way out, with Mosk-Sopoh almost losing his entire army.
