The 1st Battle of Alx̣tśan was the battle that began the Last Dze-Human War; occuring on the 29th of Primo 1590, it marked the end of the truce established at the end of the Thuhaq-Alx̣tśani War that had concluded a slightly over half a decade before and was fought between the coalition of tribes under the banner of T'aan X̣ṭeḿł̣oq́ and a Thuhaqi army under the command of general Qharaq Iz'udan. The battle was fought near the entrance to the Alx̣ valley in a chokepoint closed off by hilly outcrops.

Following the end of the the Thuhaq-Alx̣tśani War in 1583 with the Alx̣tśaqi Massacre, the clan would spend the following seven years recovering their strength, with X̣ṭeḿł̣oq́ sending messengers to the neighbouring Nuł̣ńt'e clan, from where his former bride had come from. Eager to avenge her death and the slights against the clan, the Dze would begin preparing their forces in 1589 for a punitive campaign against the Thuhaqi Kingdom. Their human enemies however would be informed of these developments and quickly mustered an army under the command of the prominent general Qharaq Iz'udan, one of the most powerful nobles in the kingdom, and marched towards the Alx̣ valley in the last weeks of 1590.

After being informed of the approaching Thuhaqi army, the T'aan had organized the evacuation of his people and prepared to meet this army near the entrance chokepoint of the Alx̣ valley, infested with tall grasses, begining to bog them down with traps across the valley and ambushing them to lure them further into the valley. With the T'aan and a small company of soldiers going behind the rear from the outcrops, the Dze would feign a retreat and the Thuhaqi army was then swiftly encircled and almost completely destroyed during the course of the day. This battle is pivotal in Dze history for being the start of X̣ṭeḿł̣oq́'s process of uniting the Dze and their allies and expelling the human invaders, a task that would take him the next thirty years of his life.
