The Battle of Mount Cephas was the first major battle of the Kal'Shabbol Civil War. It took place at the base of Mount Cephas on Kal'Shabbol and saw the forces of the Order of the Jedi Bendu of the Ophuchi fighting against those of the Eternal Order of the Vipera. When the battle began, the Jedi Bendu immediately strengthened their infantry and relatively small cavalry in the center of their line and charged the Valley People’s weak center. The mostly mounted cultists, however, anticipated this move and began a slower charge, shooting arrows from behind the front ranks the entire time.
