Hamodian War

== Background ==
A series of petitions were made by the peasants, merchants and minor nobles of Anglunia, addressing the Yirsidan directly on various issues. These petitions were quickly ended, when Aellonsyr Yinower Serys-Blizun entered the hall, accompanied by family, his household guard, and Onsyr Rai Lyndur-Lansury. After being handed the letter by the Aellonsyr, the Yirsidan read the contents aloud for those present at the hall. It had been written by the bed-ridden Aellonsyr Hadon Dardellan-Solaatlan of Hamodia. It proclaimed that Onsyr Rai was to be the temporary regent of Hamodia, until the Aellonsyr could return to ample health.
After a series of remarks regarding Onsyr Rai's duty to defend against certain present threats to Hamodia, and the subsequent duty of the Aellonsyr to be involved in the conflict, Lord Frederick III of Bloodkeep, who had been rebelling against Hamodia, spoke out against Aellonsyr Yinower's right to intervention in the conflict as an external force. The Yirsidan denied this objection, granting the Aellonsyr the right to intervention and swearing neutrality himself, starting the Hamodian War.
== Hostilities ==
After a series of war preparations from both Lord Frederick and the Hamodian alliance, the war came to a climax when Solianen, Hamodian and Palean soldiers stormed the fortress of Lord Frederick III, in conjunction with mercenaries from Idraenya. After a charge up the mountainous pass towards Bloodkeep, and little success of resistance, Solianen knights smashed through the keeps doors.
After the doors were breached, the soldiers stormed in, taking various war treasures and prisoners along the way. Once inside, they were met with fierce resistance by the rebels, however the numerical advantage of the Hamodian alliance eventually overwhelmed their effforts. Sensing the skirmish was coming to a conclusion, Lord Frederick III fled by boat to Azuroport, accompanied by a small group of remaining knights. The victory was relatively swift, and the island was as a result placed under Hamodian administration.
