Kophen, held a den of Iranian warriors. They wore terrifying face masks; they were easily beaten by the Thanes of Balthaz. Like Marakanda, the population of Kophen was spared of being raped, stabbed, and pillaged to death. Kophen, would serve as the main base for incursions into India; for right across it was Taksashila.



That was the city with the walls that reached to the sky that the merchant told Balthaz about. It did not take much convincing for the place to be invaded. Already though, back in Germania, whispers of there successes were starting to make it's way back....



Thus, the long siege of the town begun. Some friendly locals who were kicked out of the city made siege weapons for Balthaz; making it easier for his Thanes to storm the walls.
