The Battle of Madizak was a conflict in which General Grines participated sometime before the Venek Horde's battle with Peacekeeper forces at the Jocacean Monastery. Though Grines' forces were in a position to press for victory, Grines chose instead to call for a truce, preventing further bloodshed. This was one of several instances that gave Grines a reputation of compassion. ("...Different Destinations")
