Unification Wars

Unification of Edelmaa is the period spanning from 1 a.k to 6 a.k. This was a war waged by Levi in which he conquered the lands of Edelmaa to his kingdom of Workhold. The war was fairly peaceful and did not shed much blood. The war was decisive victory for Levi and all of the Old Kingdoms were subjugated into Workhold.
== The War ==
Around 1000JA a disaster struck. It was leaked that the King of Edelmaa, had been a peasant boy chosen randomly to be raised by the royal family to be the heir to the throne. This made all the nobles question the authority the now 33-year old King. The nobles began to secede from the Kingdom and form their own city-states. This outraged the king, who began to go mad and trust no-one. He massed an army with which he one-by-one began to wage war on the nobles. The nobles banded together and formed the Noble Alliance. The war was mainly fought in the Western coast and the Midlands. 
Levi, the Baron of Workhold refused to join the Noble Alliance and instead forged an pact with the Scale family. Osten Scale, the head of the Scale family, was the Ruler of Scalis and Captain of Antikean townsguard. Scalis was uninhabited land located south of the city of Antikea, and thus the title meant really nothing, but he commanded the townguard of Antikea. Like other Scales, Osten was charismatic, so much so that the townsguard heeded his commands over the Nobles' or the King's. Levi purchased merceneries from Olia and possibly from Jiri Baathúr, who at the time ruled of the island of Baathúr. 
Together Levi and Osten conquered Salli's Castle and Charlington, which boosted their chances of victory, as now they held the most fertile lands in all of Edelmaa. They faced the King in battle near the town of Horow and defeated and captured the King. The King made peace in exchange for his life and was subsequently exiled from Edelmaa alongside his family. Soon some of the nobles began flock to Levi's banners and swore vassalage to him. Some however, decided to fight to the bitter end. Only Ili-Fien and Baathúr remained independent from the grip of Workhold after this war.Category:Wars
