Gruesome Coup

The Grueseome Coup was the In 380ai war in which the adventurer Tiszsyl "the Gruesome" conquered Savduum using the undead Crimson Army, which she had raised from the bones of the centuries-previous Pale-Blessed War.
The Crimson Army was victorious, and Tiszsyl gruesomely executed the defending King, Barmir Savzadax "the Poor", and assumed his crown.
Banor under Archbishop Lemnus Alexarchos "the Berserk" mobilized in defense of Savduum, or more precisely in offense of their undead assailants. However, the Banorite army arrived somewhat after the war was already over, and proved unable to penetrate Savduum's powerful defenses. It is commonly said that, frustrated, Lemnus led his army into nearby Calabia, as the Sixth Banor Invasion of Calabia, only to meet defeat and his death there at the hands of Calabian Potentate Zaff "the Dust". However, many historians argue that the timing is several years off for this to be plausible, that the Banorite forces must have retreated, only to redeploy against Calabia some 7 years later.
