## Edelmaa Great War

In the beginning of the war, the Regiment was a small garrison unit stationed near the city of Sidelia. The formation was formally led by Earl of Sidelia Tobias Hopfisch, however during peacetime was led by it's Lieutenant-commander Gael Vegas. At the start of the war, the Sidelia Regiment came under the command of Count Tamor Grundvall and marched to the Maakor Castle where the Regiment partook in the Second Battle of Maakor Castle. During the battle, Count Grundvall lost his life, which switched Sidelia to go under the command of Count Donnel Tryb in Muede. Under Count Tryb, the Regiment was stationed to Olav Castle where they were merged into a larger host that was preparing to attack the Royalist army at Dives and the Army of Jiri Baathúr at Fon.

The Regiment was hindered and harassed by the partisan forces of Sir Ridley Hogman. So in response the Regiment organized a raid of Hogman's manor commanded by Veteran-Sergeant Wahler Turnmir.

The Regiment was almost completely destroyed during the Battle of Dives, however Gael Vegas the vice-commander, rallied survivors and marched north where he was forced to join the Royalist Army and join the Scale Manor Campaign and fight Jiri Baathúr. After the Battle of Ravaged manor field the regiment had been reduced to 25 men. The two surviving officers, Gael Vegas and Elius il Sidelia agreed to desert the Royalists and return to Olav Castle and enter the service of Abe Perickard, whom they trusted. When the survivors of the regiment reached Olav Castle, every members was knighted.
