Battle of Dusklane - 444
* Major engagement; Lestin utterly defeats Vermusen, seizes control of Garrick and Tryr as a whole, Lestin holds small amount of territory in SW Tryr

* Disastrous battle for Lestin, Lestin and General Q both killed and V and III legions pretty much destroyed, Vermusen moves instead to take Garrick which allows Dematante to hold Poybourg 
* Oray decides to abandon Garrick and marches up to the north, essentially dissolves Lestin's faction, Vermusen seizes Garrick and declares himself dictator, Dematante knows Vermusen was going to betray him and refuses to acknowledge him as dictator, conflict continues
* Vermusen is decidedly non-charismatic and pisses off the lower classes as well, instead of swearing fealty and remaining out of the fight as he had promised to do, Oray launches his own campaign

* Oray moves back down to take Garrick, Dematante moves to stop him
Battle of Rigald Ridge - 448

* Noblemen offer to deliver Dematante in exchange for swearing of fealty to Vermusen, he agrees but Dematante escapes in the night and flees the country, Vermusen takes the city and slaughters the noblemen, Dematante's faction dissolved
* Everyone hates both factions and they have low numbers, but about equal territory, Orayand Vermusen both move main armies to engage on the western bank
Second Battle of Halem - 450
* In extremely close battle Vermusen wins through pure luck, both armies essentially annihilated, Vermusen marches remnants to Garrick, General Oray's supporters open the gates and turn him over rather than have the city sacked again, dissolution of Oray's faction
* Vermusen has Y's tongue cut out and sent to work slave labor, country is in ruins and suffering large depopulation, everyone too tired to fight Vermusen's claim to Dictatorship, conflict ends
