Battle of Zoria (The Age of Quintius)

MINOR INFORMATION
The Battle of Zoria was a battle that occured in 1029 A.T.F. During the campaigns of Quintius Barbacanous, The Kingdom of Pyra contested Quintius's claim to the Imperial Throne. In response Quintius Barbacanous assembled a large force (exact numbers are unknown) to both reinforce his claim to The Imperial Throne and remove another remnant of the Old Empire. Quintius marched west in 1028 A.T.F to subdue The Kingdom of Pyra, and arrived nearly one year later. The Leader of The Kingdom of Pyra, an opportunistic Ex-Imperial Governor of Romikkan birth, assembled a field army made up of the remnants of the Southern Acrabian Legions to meet his opponent. Both armies met nearly 30 miles east of the city of Pyra and engaged each other immediately upon spotting one another. The battle lasted only a mere hour, and was a decisive victory for Quintius Barbacanous. Quintius perused the Governor's routed forces back to the city of Pyra and upon reaching the city. Quintius ordered his men to destroy the city, to kill anyone who attempted to stop them, but spare anyone who was not armed. The city was completely destroyed, and it would take nearly a century before the city was resettled and rebuilt.
