Flames of war

3000 Drukai warriors stood outside the mighty walls of Dorgoil, their scales reflecting the vicious desert sunlight. They would soon march north, only stopping when they reached Rumen or all died in battle. Being born soldiers these reptiles where extremely adept in the art of war, wielding weapons that would have been passed down for generations and with enough Pyrx Spice to last army weeks. Only 1 thing was missing, their Kisurani allies.
Just on time the first of their “smooth skin” allies would start to arrive on large river barges. Over the course of the day over 7000 of Kisurans finest would land, splitting themselves evenly on either riverbank, 2,000 joining the Drukai and 5,000 landing in Enkidu. The barges would return to Yianushir to collect more supplies to keep the army fed. Malik Nanuk would meet with the leader of Dorgoil in a similar way that his predecessor Ish Yarser had done and by the next day the 2 armies would begin the march north.
Several battles would be fought with river towns and small fortresses along the coast, the Kisurani Dreka proving themselves extremely adept in battle when paired with a wall of pikemen to keep out enemy horse riders. Bombards would be mounted to barges too to allow the heavy artillery to keep up with the quick advances the attackers would make.
Soon both riverbanks would be under Drukai domination, with the governor of Rumen, having heard of the decimation of many massive cities with populations in the 10s of thousands, would surrender to the Kisurani general, Hur Halnanukh, who would raise the banner of the Ilu Dynasty over the city, before a small disagreement between the Drukai General and himself would see the banner lowered in place of the banner of Dorgoil.
Peace would be made with Enkidu who ceded the western riverbanks to Dorgoil in exchange for the body of Rashur Erimar being returned from Kisuran. Urudik would continue to fight for many more months, even taking back a few smaller towns before they would be forced to surrender after a group of Drukai assasins snuck into the Red City and kidnapped their Leader and threatened to castrate him. Urudiki gains would not be forfeit and neither would the Drukais, leaving the eastern bank divided.
Overall the war would serve to introduce yet another large power into the Erigresh and weaken the power of Enkidu yet again. Kisuran would be given permanent ports in Rumen in exchange for aid during the war with Kisurani goods now making it as far as Darlinia.
