War for Arcadia

The War for Arcadia developed as a consequence due to the instability caused by the Demon Invasion of Eridon at the end of 1509. The surviving people of Eridon divided up into new kingdoms or independent city-states.
Drekis and Mistrya fought over the resources of fallen Eridon, which lead to Drekis invading Mistrya.
King Haraziem of Akuba was assassinated while visited Mistrya for alliance and trade talks, which lead to the Akuban Civil War.Akuban Knights: Episode 01
The war was at first in Drekis's favour until Mistrya gained the aid of the Red Dragon Scoria as well as alliances with Mahtava and Gadia.

Following the destruction of 30% of Eridon, as well as the destabilization of the remaining 70% (and the unrelated disappearance of Whiteshore's population), the kingdoms of Mistrya and Drekis raided the ruined cities.
The Queen of Drekis, Vuularia Wikk however wasn't looking for simple riches, but was seizing this as an opportunity to expand Drekis into an Empire that covered the whole of Arcadia. Wealth however was needed for this undertaking, so the raiding of Eridon was ordered, and efforts of the The Caldonian Expedition were told to be more profitable for the war effort.Letter 151003 Sela
