Imperium War

The Imperium War was the Casorian Empire's first abortive attempt at seizing land upon a foreign shore. The war pitted the Empire against the first Isaevi Imperium, and lasted from 14 AC to 21 AC.
The war, though short, was exceptionally bloody, and resulted in the deaths of thousands of Imperial soldiers. The Isaevine empire was united and strong at this point, riding high on a wave of recent conquests, while the Casorians were launching an invasion onto hostile soil from thousands of miles away.
Seeing that the Empire faced its first serious defeat, the Emperor, Alexander II, sailed with reinforcements to turn the tide. Despite having a reputation as an accomplished military man, the Emperor's presence did not turn the war in the Empire's favour, and more and more men died. Eventually, the Emperor decided to join battle with the Imperium's main host, led by their monarch, and so the Battle of the Emerald River began. When the dust settled, the Imperial army was shattered, and the Emperor was dead, an Isaevine pike stuck in his throat.
Following the defeat at the Emeral River, the remaining Legions evacuated, leaving the continent alone for 43 years.
