Battle of Meldaoun
The Battle of Meldaoun [MEL-da-oon] (58 ME) (sometimes called Menvin Bridge) was the final decisive victory for Ororran forces fighting the remnant army of the Empire of Dor-en-Sann. Menvin Bridge was a crossing point into the old Imperial heartlands in the town of Meldaoun, defended by the massed forces of the old Empire. The defeat was the end of any organised imperial resistance, and led to the death of the last Emperor-General, Ollilontan.

After the defeat of Imperial forces, the Ororrans were expected to rush to the Imperial capital of Gaalkedch for the final defeat of their enemy. Instead they were delayed by torrential weather combined with an uprising in the neighbouring province of Gahskaht. Fearing being trapped between two enemies the Ororran generals first dealt with the rebellion, turning to capture Gaalkedch the following spring.
The battle effectively destroyed the Imperial army and supposedly caused the death from grief and alcoholism of the Emperor Ollilontan.
