The Pillar of Rock-kin deploy every last man and woman to fight(save for a few back at their home forge) which number some 10,000. The Illithids are starting to feel the stress of the war. The gods ignore what is happening for the most part, as they have become busy with matters in the Divine City. The final battle is fought in an area now known as Blood Fields.

The final battle is immense. The Illithids bright out every sort of foil spawn their magic and science can create. They have also presaded several dragons to join their side, and countless others using their mind powers. The battle lasts for over 8 days, with heavy casualties on both sides. Evetually Shennong decides to use his last and final weapon. It is a Paopei called “Divine Void of Light”. He rides straight into the Illithids’ base camp along with several of his generals, and and 8,000 of the Pillar of Rock-kin (who refused to stay put despite what the Sunti Emperor and generals told them). They rode through towards the main entrance the Illithids were using, only 8 of the people who had set out made it this far. And then Shennong used the forbidden Paopei. For miles around a loud roar could be heard as a huge sphere of light appeared where they had been. It engulfed the enemy base camp for miles around, burning to ashes all it touched. The Alliance was able to push back the rest of Illithids, but not get rid of them completely. The Illithids retreated to the cities they could keep. The Eternals and the 2 dwarf tribes also ceased war here.
