Should I have the comma after "There"?
At the same time as that was occurring, Steel and the other Knights of Takhisis began the invasion of Ansalon at Thoradin Bay. There, the Dark Knights were met by a force of Solamnic Knights, and quickly defeated them in the ensuing battle.

cboutin3 There, the Dark Knights were met by a force of Solamnic Knights, and quickly defeated them in the ensuing battle. Yes, I would use a comma after "There" because it is being used as an introductory word. But you do not need a comma after "Solamnic Knights" because the second part of the sentence is not an independent clause.
