The First Battle of Mons Dei marked the opening battle of the War of Golden Succession, setting off a conflict that would claim the lives of millions. Though the defending Imperial divisions were caught off guard it ended in little more than a tactical victory for the Weigari Independence Army, and in fact, claimed more rebel lives than Macabee and Killian combined. Nonetheless, it proved to be quite the shock to the Empire and ultimately persuaded the rise of the indegenous population in Sarcanza and the invasion of Southern Macabea by Haven. In the end, as said before, it would spark a war that would last the ages and see the deaths of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and millions of civilians. For the general simplicity of the battle, ironically what it would forge would be just opposite.
