Timeline of Parame

3,846: The Giants expansion is checked in modern Kimaris when a token force Parame Dragoons staged a night raid into the supply camp of the Giants. The panic and fire spread quickly, destroying the luggage train of Giant General Fazar Strombrow. In the early daylight, the smoke was so heavy that the forward lines felt they were being attacked from the rear and forced to send several contingents back to contain the fire and set up a parameter. A young Joar of Parame and his bannermen were unable to return to their horses and found themselves trapped behind the Giants encirclement. They attempted to make their way south, but ran into the honor guard of General Strombrow. Fearing capture, Joar and his team spread out launched pockets of spear skrishmeshs against the camp. The Giants, already alarmed by the raid, sounded a general retreat against. Before Strombrow could regain order, Joar hit his throat with a spear. By the time a healer could restore Strombrow's voice, the disordered retreat was compounded by the knights of Kimaris taking advantage to engage in harassment and chasing actions, seizing or destroying the siege machines of the Giants.
