The Ghost Bears sent the [[1st Bear Guards (Rasalhague Dominion)|1st Bear Guards]] to attack Idlewind as part of their response. There they engaged the defending [[9th Pesht Regulars]]. When the 9th commander died in the initial fighting, the surviving members of the Regulars lost cohesion and fell back on old-fashioned tactics to match the Bears in one-on-one fights. The battle quickly turned against the Regulars and nearly ninety percent of the unit was destroyed before the arrival of the [[7th Sword of Light]]. While the 7th could not save the 9th, they did contest the Bears possession of Idlewind until the [[Courchevel]] trial was completed and settled the conflict between the Draconis Combine and the Ghost Bears.
