On the seventh day, Khao'khen committed the Rhakaddons.
Fifty-seven armored beasts, each one weighing three tons and carrying a rider whose position atop the beast's massive shoulders provided both elevation and the leverage that the rider's spear required for the downward strikes that Rhakaddon warfare employed. The beasts' paired horns, sheathed in iron caps that Zul'jinn's forge had produced, were the weapons that no formation on the battlefield could resist at close range because no formation on the battlefield was designed to absorb three tons of momentum delivered through two iron-capped points.
