Battle of Permothylae Overlook

The Battle of Permothylae Overlook was the first battle of The Dark War.

The event
The Battle of Permothylae Overlook of Olde Antarctica, an alliance of Ice Kingdom soldiers fought the invading dark army at the pass of Permothylae in central Ice Kingdom. Vastly outnumbered, they held back the invader in one of history's most famous last stands. A small force led by King Wilhelmus of the Ice Kingdom blocked the only road through which the massive army of Opacus could pass to South Pole Citadel. After three hours of battle, a local resident named Ephialtes betrayed them by revealing a mountain path that led behind their lines. Dismissing the rest of the army, King Wilhelmus stayed behind with 300 Ice Kingdom Soldiers and 3 penguins that worked at the overlook. Though they knew it meant their own deaths, they held their position and secured the retreat of the other forces. The Dark Forces succeeded in taking the overlook but sustained heavy losses, extremely disproportionate to those of the Ice Kingdom Soldiers. The fierce resistance of the Ice Kingdom Army offered South Pole City the invaluable time to prepare for a siege.

After seven hours of clashing icicles, flying snowballs, and shattered rubbish can lids, The Dark Army claimed victory over the Ice Kingdom Soldiers. But, the penguins who worked at the overlook knew of a secret cream soda-running tunell that lead to South Pole Citadel. As the minions of Opacus were celebrating victory, the Ice Kingdom soldiers escaped and roused South Pole Citadel to be prepared for a siege.

The performance of the defenders at the battle of Permothylae is often used as an example of the advantages of training, equipment, and good use of terrain to maximize an army's potential, and has become a symbol of courage against overwhelming odds. The heroic sacrifice of the Ice Kingdom Soldiers and the has captured the minds of many throughout the ages and has given birth to many parodys in result.
