The New Sun Lands Crusade

War initiated by the Trinity Church against the New Sun Lands' possession Eyronia 1103-1105. Intending to end Sun Lands piracy in the Inner Sea, Pope Honorius declared a crusade in 1103. In addition to the Trinity Church, most other priesthoods supported the idea. The Penboynian Admiral Phirian was assigned the task of commanding the effort. To his disposal were the greater part of the Penboynian navy, about four thousand  Salaqi soldiers, and the economical and logistic support of the city-state Enders. Furthermore the kings of the nations surrounding the Inner sea and many grand masters encouraged their knights to go to war. In January 1104 the Salaqi general, Baron Farko, unsuccessfully tried to storm Salamanka. In April Count Kelvin arrived with five thousand men, and the two armies jointly conquered the town April 29th. At this point Phirian hoped to take Trebora by the end of 1104, but Sun Lands reinforcements arrived following the defeat of a Grone-Salaqi fleet in the Bay of Hadriel outside Isontia. In July the crusaders won a battle northwest of Trebora, forcing the Sun Lands forces to retreat to Trebora. The crusaders began a siege of Trebora, but it proved untenable and the crusader army withdrew to Salamanka. August 10th and 12th Lord Baltax employed the Ring of Madness to devastate Trebora and Isontia respectively. This put a sudden end to the crusade, but started the Troll Wars.
