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]].
Less then a month later Troun invaded Toor and burned 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. Troun's army turned out to be much more numerous and was led by the gole [[Mod Dorvysoh]], but he was killed early in the battle and his sons chose to withdraw. Mosk-Sopoh, who realized that he got lucky and that that battle could have been the end of Toor, did not pursue. On their way back through Ydoh Rol, howerver, Troun forces ransacked every village the passed through. This seriously undermined the region and for the next decade it was mostly in ruins.
A mere year after the battle at Kees, in late autumn, Deeras again invades Toor from the south. This time the army consists mostly of Negy and Jojnohs. They reach Palas and station there, with the intention of biting away the region between the Palas and Dol mountains from Toor. Since it's winter, they count on snowfall to slow down Gaskal's response. Mosk-Sopoh, however, moves out immediately, marches to the mount of Marij and hits Deeras from this less expected direction. Negy quickly retreat, leaving two Jojnoh divisions to hold toorians back. Mosk-Sopoh manage to defeat one of them and pays off the other and they disperse.
The toorians then pursue the Negy and almost catch up with them, but are forced to follow them beyond Dol, essentially playing into their hand again: the Negy quickly vanish among the mountains and hills, and then hit the toorians on their way out. This time the trap was much tighter and Mosk-Sopoh's troops suffered enormous losses, with the gole barely saving his own life.
As he arrives to Gaskal, he is greeted with even more bad news: the naddians have again attacked the west coast, and have once more burned down the fleet of sailing ships that the toorians had been rebuilding for the past two years. What was left of west Ydoh Rol was decimated completely.
=== A campaign against Troun ===
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.
