Conquestor's Crusade

The Conquestor's Crusade was a conflict in the Black Age that occurred shortly after the Nightbringer War to depose Leogardion the Black Conquestor from his rule over Kazara. 
Although the Triune was hesitant to send forces overseas to fight in Qamin, however various factors convinced them to do so.
The Crusade would be a success, leading to the dispersing of the Black Legion, Leogardion's army of zealots. Leogardion would be captured, and after a brief period of escape be recaptured, were he was Sea Marred at Kazar.
== History ==
After the Nightbringer War, the remaining Kazaran aristocracy had sent pleas to various powers to assist them in the ousting of the foul Leogardion and the reclamation of their land. This included pleas to the Kyonosi, who had ignored them due to bad blood and brewing conflicts in the north.
The Kazarans had also sent a plea to the Anchorite Triune. The Viconsul went under great consideration over the issue and deliberated by emissary with the Kazarans. Their conditions of aid were the Kazarans convert to Anchorite Triunism and to form a Triunic kingdom over the new Kazaran nation. The Kazarans had reluctantly agreed for the reasons that their faith in the Maphosettan Triunism had already greatly wavered, and that many cared more for reclaiming their ancestral riches and territories from the Black Legion.
The Crusade was met with initial failures and strong resistance from Black Legion garrisons. The arrival of forces from Cirene and Argones would even the scales. The greatest turning point of the war would be the Battle of the Basilisk, where Leogardion and his elite would be captured. The Crusaders attempted to bring him to Kazar to be Sea Marred, but were ambushed in the night by Black Legion remnants and Leogardion was freed.
Leogardion would continue fighting, however the war's victor was already decided. Leogardion would be captured during battle by the young Justicar-Banneret Barion Grey. He would be taken to Kazar and Sea Marred publically, dispersing what remained of his cult into fragments.
In the aftermath, the Crusading forces would largely leave Kazara. However, the Kazarans did uphold their deal of converting to the Anchorite faith. This born the short-lived Anchorite Empire of Kazara, which would collapse within a few decades due to internal problems.
