### Tunnel War (429 ASB - 436 ASB)

Once in the tunnels Dardan Dyer appointed Duke Dryer to the rank of general within his army, they then moved further down into the tunnels with the population of Alban following behind them. On M1-07 430 ASB Darden Dyer informed Duke Dyer of his plan to send him off to the tunnels beneath Belut and gain the support of Besnik Gibson who Darden considered to be a friend of his, and of his own plan to take the bulk of his army north to take Monoterrus.

Duke Dyer and his forces arrived beneath Belut on M12-28 331 ASB, they met with Besnik Gibson who informed Duke Dyer that he had already allied himself with Maxton Stenhouse of Krem who's forces were currently scouting the eastern tunnels, Dyer promised him a position within House Dyer once they won the war if he were to join his father's forces, Gibson accepted the offer and ordered his forces to withdraw and begin fortifying his position.

Duke Dyer was present at the battle to take the subterranean city of Shaeir that started on M3-08 434 ASB, Shaeir was acting as the capital of the forces of John Nighman. On M3-24 434 ASB Darden Dyer, Duke Dyer and several other generals of Darden Dyer's burst into John Nighman's office with their weapons drawn and demanded his surrender and to have his men and supplies transferred to Darden Dyer, Nighman agreed to the terms and walked over to Darden Dyer and stuck out his hand, as Darden Dyer reached out to shake it Nighman moved his shoulder and had a dagger fall into his hand and promptly stabbed Darden Dyer in the throat, killing him, Nighman was then shot to death by the surrounding officers. On M3-25 434 ASB following the death of his father Duke Dyer with the backing of Besnik Gibson declared himself the the leader of his father's coalition and the day after that several of members of the coalition led by Governor Chester Young of Antidorn disputed Dyer's claim to leadership of the coalition, in response to this Dyer ordered the majority of his forces to attack those loyal to Chester Young, he then asked Gibson if he knew which cavern the nobility of Antidorn was in, when Nighman told him Dyer ordered as small group of soldiers to the cavern to round them up. On M4-01 434 ASB Dyer ordered his men to stop fighting the Young's forces and he called upon Chester Young to speak with him, Dyer met with Young from the balcony of, Dyer requested that Young acknowledge him as the leader of the coalition, when Young refused he brought out Chester Young's youngest son Charles Young and threatened to shoot him if he did not comply, when Chester Young refused claiming that Dyer would not do it, Dyer then shot Chester Young in the back of the head with a pistol and threw the body off of the balcony and then summoned Chester Young's next youngest child Adam Young to come forward, after Dyer threatened his second child Chester Young conceded and recognized him as the leader of the coalition.

On M3-04 436 ASB the last of John Nighman's forces, now being led by his son Amir Nighman surrendered to Duke Dyer's forces, Dyer turned his attention to the forces of Maxton Stenhouse who had turned the eastern tunnels into a near impenetrable fortress, Dyer decided that he would need to wait for them to make the first move if he were to have any chance of victory against them. On M4-08 336 ASB whilst Dyer was still in Shaeir waiting for Stenhouse's forces to attack when an earthquake occurred that caused the several minor cave-ins around Shaeir, after the initial earthquake Dyer received a message on his electrical telegram informing him that the earthquake had been much more damaging to the eastern portions of the tunnels, he then ordered an assault of Stenhouse's forces. Duke Dyer was declared King of the Sand Republic on M4-12 436 ASB after the surrender of Maxton Stenhouse's remaining forces.

### King of the Sand Republic (436 ASB - 442 ASB)

Duke Dyer's first order upon becoming king was for the Sand people to ascend from the tunnels and retake their homeland from whoever it was that invaded them seven years ago. Dyer chose the city of Alban as the location where his people would ascend, the mass ascension to the surface took place on M4-18 436 ASB, Dyer and his people found the town to be occupied by the Empire of Shale which he quickly cleared and set about to liberating the rest of the Sand Republic. On M6-14 436 ASB Duke Dyer visited Sunbell to attend the Sunbell Conference.

On M10-10 441 ASB the Sand Republic was invaded by the United Peoples of Carbbonia Dyer had his forces sent out to fight against the invaders but they were no match for them and could only slow them down.
