at the Building Wall Battle, but I don't recall any place where it
actually says so; only that they lost a battle, and never went back.
An old issue of Different Worlds (#24?) includes an article called Dragons Past. This article describes all the raids and invasions in Dragon Pass between roughly 1600 and 1620. For the major invasions it also includes the rough results of the campaigns. It was designed partially as a way to add background to characters of a military bent by describing what units from a given area were doing each year.
The Building Wall battle was part of a major Lunar invasion in 1605, the first major effort to conquer the Holy Country. The Esrolians, the Pharoah, and maybe others of the Holy Country brought the Lunars to battle fairly early at the Building Wall. I believe, if I remember correctly, that the Lunars suffered 40% casualties and were forced to bring their invasion to a quick end.
