15th September XX89: Duke Mundy sought for help from the Pope.
18th September XX89: Civil war reached the capital. The bottom floor was turned to ruin and flames. The few people that lived escaped, a revolution with an unsteady rule.
19th September XX89: Forces from Kreston arrived in Arda. The fighting soon took to the forest and around. Bloodshed, the rebels killed without mercy. The platoon that arrived was led by Erna, she took to the streets and hunted many. The revolt for finding the dungeon ended in naught.
23rd September XX89: The Civil war ended with many casualties. Duke Mundy assumed his place on the throne.
24th September XX89: A new council was formed. One that only hosted the General and the Lizardmen tribe. Tobira the Dryad didn’t consent to the duke’s demands and left for the forest.

.....
5th October XX89: A force of 4 thousand compromised of Lizardmen, mercenaries, and holy-fighters, marched forth.
7th October XX89: Prince Consort Ernis flew to the Empire to negotiate with the emperor. The topic at hand was the debate on why he supported Kreston.
10th October XX89: The diplomatic effort ended in naught. The Emperor had one thing to say, “-those who ally with a province that alienated my rule shan’t receive help.” A reference to the Alliance between Arda and Hidros. “Go, you’re a nuisance. Hidros has been freed from our control.”
11th October XX89: Hidros was ousted from the Wracia Alliance.
12th October XX89: Queen Gallienne declared independence while Kreston pledged to the Emperor on the same day. Oxshield, Arda, Plaustan, and Totrya, were alienated. No support from the Empire.
13th October XX89: Many nobles from Oxshield defected to the emperor. Marquess Jeffrey Hart, Count Charle Gaulle, and Viscount Harry Flaire. A combined force of 8 thousand, took to the main-continent by ship. It left Oxshield’s East and southeast without occupation.
18th October XX89: Duke Mundy appointed Count Henry III as Marshal.
19th October XX89: Count Henry III called for all the nobles to join forces. An army of 7 thousand. He called for a campaign to invade Oxshield from the East. An opportunistic play since nobles had defected.
22nd October XX89: Spies reported the plan to Queen Gallienne.
23rd October XX89: The army headed by Krask, made good progress on traversing the land.
24th October XX89: Count Henry III began their march into Oxshield. It would take approximately five weeks to reach the border.
29th October XX89: The General of Hidros’s army proposed to willingly give land to Henry III. A fight would only serve to break their failing rule. No nobles to provide funds, no nobles to raise an army.
30th October XX89: The airports were full of planes taking off. The continent turned for the worst, merchants, traders, and tourists left without a second thought.
1st November XX89: Krask’s army were taken in an ambush on the outer edges of Noctis’s Hallow. An army of undead ghouls took them by the cover of night. Food poisoned and supplies burnt, a tactic to force them into a war of attrition. The 4 thousand strong armies lost a platoon of 200 and almost all their supplies. The journey until the destination was around 6 days long.
3rd November XX89: The General’s orders to give land was refuted by a single man. The same who had calmed Gallienne a few months ago. ‘Let’s form an alliance,’ he proposed.
4th November XX89: The Blood-King’s faction declared independency as their kingdom. Noctis’s Hallow and the Alps, ruled by the Winged-Wolves, transferred to their rule. A play that had the entire North-East region under the Vampire’s rule.
6th November XX89: King Staxius Haggard and Queen Gallienne Riverty formed an alliance and created a new rule: The Argashield Federation. The regime was focused on one thing, warfare.
7th November XX89: King Staxius Haggard declared war on Duke Mundy.
8th November XX89: Emperor Paradus sent a force of 5 thousand men to Kreston by sea. It would take around 7 months for the fleet to arrive.
9th November XX89: 3.7 thousand exhausted soldiers made it to Noctis’s hallow. They were subjected to hits and runs at night. Food ran low, morale plummeted.
10th November XX89: Alaric of the Onyx’s clan and Gabrielle from tied by blood took to the front-line. The area before Noctis’s Hallow was named Hallow Ends.
11th November XX89: The Battle of Hallow End commenced. It would go down as the most brutal encounter by far. The Nightwalkers, with a force of 1.5 thousand – many fighters who rejoined because of the cure, met the 3.7 thousand without fear. No death nor tied by the sun, the massacre began.
16th November XX89: The Battle of Hallow End ended. Krask Jok, Bishop Libra, and Baron Stanley were captured. The three figureheads of the army. The remaining seven-hundred lizardmen were given the chance to surrender or fight. ‘Never.’ Rumor has it that a lady with dark-black hair beheaded each personally. The bodies were burnt to not cause maladies. Vampires suffered no loss.
17th November XX89: Duke Mundy’s total force of 34 thousand took a major loss leaving them with 30 thousand.

6th December XX89: On the verge of seeing combat, Claireville Academy stood with Sophie at the helm. However, Henry III’s forces made a U-turn. Supplies were low and the threat of an invasion lingered. Advancing too much would result in utter disaster.

31st December XX89: The Blood-King Faction won the battle of Arda. Witnesses say that the fight was one-sided. The king wielded tremendous power, ones on part with death. A dark-hemisphere covered part of the battlefield where he fought – Xenosious. In addition to that, a lady with a firey red-hair named Intherna reeked chaos. Reports said the King summoned a legendary beast to aid in the fight. Duke Mundy did well to move his force and fight. The defeat came when Mieshre marched from the South, she ambushed their outpost and ended the fight. Forests turned to a desert of blood and bodies.

Rumors of Kreston planning to invade had reached their ears. The child-monarch of the Western Kingdom was married to the princess of the Eastern Kingdom. It was made possible by the intervention of the underground, mainly, Godfather Renaud who pressured the rule. The latter only did so as it was requested by a man he absolutely adored, Shadow.
