Kamakan Wars

The **Kamakan Wars** (also known as the **Kamakan War**) were a series of conflicts that took place between 504:93 and 511:12 in which the San-Kamakan conquered all of the nations of Afbarkeean. The Tax War (502:36 - 504:29) is sometimes considered part of the Kamakan Wars, though many historians insist that this is a misconception.

The Assembly of Victory 511:40 was held in Gorn the aftermath of the Kamakan Wars to celebrate the complete fulfilment of the Badkalden prophecy and marked the beginning of the Age of Union.

The Kamakan Wars consisted of the following campaigns:

* Invasion of Draan (504:93 - 505:44)
* Invasion of Muubrin (505:52 - 506:22)
* Invasion of Korsanaan (506:39 - 506:56)
* Adr-Kaa'an Civil War (507:88 - 508:22; 510:68 - 510:79)
* War of Draabul (510:66 - 511:12)

## Timeline

### Invasion of Draan

In 504:93, Denbleson-Nak led a large Imbrahaan army across the Fiskid River into Draan. They approached the Uudan capital of Duza and Denbleson entered the city to request the ruler of Uuda, Mateead-Lalan-Duuǰaloo, to surrender to the Kamakan. Lalan agreed to do this on the condition that the Imbrahaan rescue her daughter, Jaltanun-Duuǰaloo, who had been captured by the Mateead of Torl, Robowok-Zaldanda, in 504:73 and was being held prisoner in her fortress, the infamous Uutiik-Teloo. Denbleson accepted this mission and dispatched a special task force headed by Skalan-Konos-Jaral to rescue the princess. Jaltanun was returned to Duza in 504:99 and an exultant Lalan swore allegiance to the Kamakan the next day.

In 505:02, the Imbrahaan arrived at Uutiik-Teloo and sacked the fortress. Although Robowok surrendered and pleaded for the invaders to stop destroying her castle, they continued to do so as punishment for the Mateead's misdeeds. Eventually, Denbleson called for them to stop and accepted Robowok's surrender.

The Imbrahaan continued their campaign to subjugate the remaining twelves tribes of Draan, and by 505:44, the country had been completely conquered by the Kamakan.

### Invasion of Muubrin

In 505:52, the Imbrahaan crossed the Huumaro-Muubrin border into the Gasifiit state of Gunks and had effectively captured the entire state before the Gasifiit army had been properly mobilised. The first major battle of this war took place near the city of Gor in 505:57 and resulted in a decisive victory for the Imbrahaan.

The Imbrahaan continued to advance through the state of Fwaam and entered the Vuksum peninsular in 505:78. This densely populated region proved to be much more resilient to the invading Saniit army, but by 506:14, the Imbrahaan had reached the Gasifiit capital of Darsetuk and laid seige to the city. Mav-Jenf-Pesis-Keetoo officially surrendered to the San-Kamakan in 506:22.

### Invasion of Korsanaan

In 506:39, the Imbrahaan entered Korsanaan, which was at the time a loose collection of city-states that was populated by Saniit people but unaffiliated with the nation of San. This campaign would turn out to be one of the toughest that the Imbrahaan would face during the Kamakan Wars, due to the near-impenetrable fortifications that protected each of the Korsanaan cities, as well as their propensity for self-sufficiency. In addition, the infamous Glaan traitor, Brertree-Sakum, had warned the people of Korsanaan of the prophesy concerning the Badkalden many years ago, and the country had been preparing to defend against a Saniit invasion for the last five years.

After her initial invasion had reached a standstill, Denbleson journeyed to Mount Faalad (arriving in 506:51) to seek the advice of the Glaan. During this visit, Len-Glaan-Amera-Daahat presented her with the Holy Sword that had been created by Ramdalii-Rig in the years following her foretelling of the Badkalden's destiny. She then told her that anything can be accomplished through faith in the Aba.

Denbleson returned to Korsanaan and, one by one, she struck the walls of each city with the Holy Sword, which collapsed into rubble. By 506:46, Korsanaan had been completely conquered by the San-Kamakan. Denbleson remained in Malfa until 506:76 to supervise the rebuilding of the country and its integration into the Kamakan. She then entrusted the management of Korsanaan to Thusp-Nak, who was given the title of Lebeta-Malfa.

### Green Coast negotiations

As the nations of Adr-Kaa'an and Mispitkan had been on relatively good terms with San since the Great Pardoning of the early 4th century, the Kamakan government decided to try a more diplomatic approach and sent delegates into these countries to negotiate a voluntary surrender as opposed to immediately invading their territories.

#### Adr-Kaa'an

In 507:11, Eris-Vana was dispatched to Intis and met with matriarch from the Baloo Family, Hanavak-Baloo, to request an alliance with the Baleen-Baloo. Hanavak was initially reluctant, but invited the Saniit to stay as her honoured guest while she considered the offer.

In 507:44, Dormun-Jedur was sent to Intis to assist Eris in her negotiations with the Baloo Family. She managed to befriend the adopted daughter of Hanavak-Baloo, Deketh-Baloo, who commanded the Baleen-Baloo. By 507:57, they had begun preparations for an insurrection against the government of Adr-Kaa'an.

#### Mispitkan

In 507:27, Wilik-Azaa was dispatched to the Mispit capital of Falal to negotiate a union between the Kamakan and Mispitkan. This proposal was vehemently rejected by Dekwopal-Rarǰ-Nazeen and Wilik was assassinated in 507:30, though the Dekwopal denied any involvement in this.

In 507:54, another Kamakan diplomat by the name of Geek-Holtoy arrived in Falal. She was escorted by Konos-Jaral and a team of Imbrahaan soldiers under his command for her protection. The Dekwopal denied any involvement in the assassination of Willik-Azaa and once again refused to submit to Kamakan rule. The Saniit delegation returned to Gorn safely.

In 508:55, a Mispit delegation arrived in the city of Komh and officially announced the surrender of Mispitkan to the San-Kamakan. Thus, despite the incident with Wilik-Azaa, Mispitkan was the only country in Afbarkeean to avoid any direct conflict with the Kamakan.

### Adr-Kaa'an Civil War

#### Deketh's Rebellion

In 507:88, the Baleen-Baloo marched to Braad, the capital of Adr-Kaa'an and demanded that Dekwopal-Iioopa-Tarna either abdicate or surrender to the San-Kamakan. When she refused, the Dekwopal was executed and Deketh proclaimed herself ruler of Adr-Kaa'an. However, Iioopa's daughter, Harikas-Tarna, had managed to flee from the city and claimed that she was the rightful sovereign of the country. She hastily assembled an army in the town of Lal.

In 507:92, the Baleen-Baloo arrived outside Lal and fought against the loyalist army of Harikas-Tarna, but were pushed back and forced to retreat to Braad. In addition, Dormun-Jedur was killed during the Battle of Lal. Deketh requested Imbrahaan reinforcements in 507:93 and Eris-Vana obliged. The two armies then met for a second time oustide Braad in 507:97.

The Second Battle of Braad was won by the Baleen-Baloo/Imbrahaan effort and Harikas agreed to surrender her sovereignty. However, she requested that she retain the title of Dekwopal as a mark of respect to her ancestral lineage, and thus Deketh-Baloo proclaimed herself Malis'in of Adr-Kaa'an in 507:97.

Despite initially agreeing to bring Adr-Kaa'an under the dominion of the Kamakan, Deketh became increasingly uncooperative towards Saniit authority and seemed to be positioning herself as a supreme ruler. Concerned by this development, Eris-Vana approached the Malisin in 508:13 and pressed her on her allegiance to the Kamakan, to which Deketh declared that Adr-Kaa'an would not submit to any foreign power. After a lengthy altercation, the Saniit was banished from the country and forced to return to Gorn. She informed the Kamakan government of Deketh's betrayal and preparations were made for an Imbrahaan invasion.

#### Imbrahaan Invasion

In 508:22, the Imbrahaan invaded Braad via the Gulf of Konlaw. During the ensuing conflict, the famed Imbrahaan Skalan, Konos-Jaral, was killed. The Third Battle of Braad was an Imbrahaan success and Deketh-Baloo was captured. As she still refused to concede, Deketh was stripped of her title and executed the following day. Adr-Kaa'an officially joined the San-Kamakan and Vilaman-Dakya was appointed to administer the province. In 508:23, she conferred the title of Malisin onto Anakal-Juroo, who ruled Adr-Kaa'an in conjunction with Dekwopal-Harikas-Tarna. Meanwhile, Tuuemaa-Baloo replaced Deketh as head of the Baleen-Baloo and begrudgingly swore allegiance to the new Malisin and the Kamakan.

#### Tuuemaa's Rebellion

In 509:73, Tuuemaa-Baloo sent an envoy to the Kamakan government in Gorn to request that she be instated as the ruler of Adr-Kaa'an. However, the Liithan responded to this request by stating that Anakal-Juroo had been appointed Malisin by Vilaman-Dakya and that she would have to raise her objection with either of them. Tuuemaa approached Vilaman in 509:77 and requested that she reconsider her appointment; she subtly implied that she would withdraw the Baleen-Baloo from the eastern frontier (where the Kamakan was amassing an army in preparation of an invasion of Draabul), but Vilaman remained steadfast in her commitment to Anakal-Juroo. Infuriated, Tuuemaa ordered the withdrawal of the Baleen-Baloo in 509:80.

Fearing another Baloo-led uprising in Adr-Kaa'an, an emergency meeting of the Kamakan government was held in 509:83, where it was acknowledged by all that the province presented a serious risk to the security of the Kamakan and their upcoming invasion of Draabul. Furthermore, it was evident that the Baloo-Baleen were a formidable military force and that the army loyal to Malisin-Anakal-Juroo would most likely be defeated in the case of a revolt. Thus, it was decided that they had two options: either divert some of the Imbrahaan to help defend the Juroo regime, or else pledge support to Tuuemaa's claim and allow her to overthrow the Malisin. The debate concerning these two options raged for days, but it was eventually decided in 509:87 that the Kamakan would support the Baloo claim. The diplomat Elee-Pangho was sent to Intis to share this development with Tuuemaa.

Meanwhile, Vilaman-Dakya approached Malisin-Anakal-Juroo and Dekwopal-Harikas-Tarna in 509:92 and requested that they dispatch the army of Adr-Kaa'an to the eastern border of the Kamakan to help make up for the withdrawal of the Baleen-Baloo. However, they refused, citing the growing tensions in Adr-Kaa'an and the possibility of a second Baloo uprising. Vilaman feigned outrage and declared that she would depose the Malisin if she did not comply. After a long series of negotiations, it was eventually agreed that a portion of the nation's army would be dispatched to join the Imbrahaan, and in exchange, the Imbrahaan would help to defend against a hypothetical Baloo uprising.

In 510:68, Tuuemaa initiated her rebellion against the regime of Malisin-Anakal-Juroo. Because the Kamakan invasion of Draabul had just begun two days earlier, the imperial government refused to send any Imbrahaan reinforcements to Adr-Kaa'an, and also advised that if the Malisin withdrew the soldiers that she had already dispatched to assist with the invasion, that the Kamakan would disavow her reign. Nevertheless, Vilaman promised her that the Imbrahaan would assist in restoring her reign after the Kamakan Wars were over, and that she would be guaranteed asylum in San in the meantime. Anakal was outraged and recalled the Adr-Kaa'an army, which gave the Kamakan government the opportunity to renounce their support for her.

In 510:76, the Baleen-Baloo once again captured Braad and arrested the Malisin. When she refused to abdicate, Anakal was executed. As her final act, she named Ovarul-Wiimar her successor, a wealthy landowning matriarch who had provided considerable support to both the Tarna dynasty and the regime of Anakal-Juroo. Ovarul was unaware that she had been named the new Malisin until the Baleen-Baloo arrived on her estate in 510:79 and forced her to abdicate. In exchange for her cooperation, Ovarul was granted the honorary title of Farvu and she retained all of her lands. Tuuemaa-Baloo officially declared herself Malisin, bringing an end to the Adr-Kaa'an Civil War. Her sister, Piltanō-Baloo, succeeded her as head of the Baleen-Baloo.

### War of Draabul

#### Prelude

Beginning in the summer of 509, Imbrahaan legions (and also the Baleen-Baloo) started to amass near the western border of Draabul, leading to an escalation of tensions between the San-Kamakan and Kadeean-dominated Draabul. It was not long before an Eexalonta presence was discovered on the opposite side of the border. Several talks were held between the Saniit and Kadeean governments and/or armies over the course of the next year or so, most notably in 509:47, 509:94, 510:15 and 510:52.

In 510:13, an Eexalonta spy was caught in an Imbrahaan camp near the eastern border of Mispitkan. This incident triggered a major scandal and the two sides seemed to be on the brink of war. However, a conference was held between the leaders of the Imbrahaan and Eexalonta in 510:15 in an attempt to quell tensions. Although the Saniit insisted that they wanted to avoid a war breaking out (an attitude which the Kadeeans were highly sceptical of), their real motivation was to postpone the war while the news of the captured Kadeean spy circulated throughout the Kamakan and raised support for the upcoming war. The result of this was an massive influx of military reinforcements (mostly from the Huumarooneean countries, as well as Muubrin) to aid the Imbrahaan in their defence of the eastern border of the empire.

The summit held in 510:52 resulted in a tumultuous breakdown of diplomatic communications and both sides prepared for war. In 510:66, the Imbrahaan and their allies crossed the eastern border of the Kamakan and began their invasion of Draabul (and southern Kadee). The first major city to fall to the Kamakan was the Kadeean city of Leebaa.

#### The Conversion of Marasus-Marsee

In 510:86, Len-Skalan-Gunga-Peg led a reconnaissance mission into Eexalonta-controlled territory. Her team consisted of Bantee-Kwen, Esban-Mar, Prekasōn-Takul and Thurta-Fortin. They were captured and taken to the main Eexalonta camp, where they were brought before Daadexolta-Marasus-Marsee. Gunga-Peg claimed that she was an Abar missionary on a tour of Draabul and that she was being escorted by armed guards for her own protection due to the ongoing conflict. Marasus was suspicious of her story, but offered to transport her to the island of Iykmus, where she would be free to reside, but would not be permitted to leave Kadee until the war had ended. In the meantime, her escorts would be detained in the camp. Gunga refused this offer, asserting the innocence of her subordinate soldiers, and she requested to be detained alongside them. Over the next few days, they plotted an escape attempt while awaiting their fate at the hands of the Eexalonta. It was during this time that one of the Imbrahaan carved the symbol of the San-Kamakan, along with its initials, onto the wall of their cell.

On the night of 510:89, Gunga-Peg and her team successfully escaped from the Eexalonta base (except for Esban-Mar, who was killed during the escape) and returned to the Kamakan-controlled territory, where they relayed the information they had gathered. For their valiant efforts, Gunga-Peg was given the title of Skalan-Binun and each of her soldiers was given the honorary title of Skalan, including Esban-Mar.

Kyii-Asul was a Len-Skalan in the Imbrahaan who betrayed the Kamakan war effort during the War of Draabul and began feeding information to the Eexalonta. According to legend, she was cursed by the Aba for her treachery and was struck mute so that she could not reveal anything to the enemy. This was discovered when she reported to Marasus-Marsee in 510:96.

#### Death of Piltanō-Baloo

In 510:94, Dekwopal-Piltanō-Baloo, the head of the Baleen-Baloo, was killed in battle. Malisin-Tuuemaa-Baloo was infuriated by the news of her sister's death, and threatened to withdraw the Baleen from the frontline in Draabul. In response to this, Eris-Vana was dispatched to Braad to appeal to the Malisin. During this meeting, Eris insisted that Piltanō had been thoroughly committed to the mission of the Kamakan, and that the best way to honour her death would be to continue pledging the support of the Baleen-Baloo. Tuuemaa tearfully agreed and appointed her younger sister, Ranal-Baloo, to lead the Baleen.

#### Battle of Rarubel

In 510:99, the Daadexolta sent a messenger named Tifin-Baanstaak to the Imbrahaan base to propose a battle that would take place in 511:02 on the future site of the city of Rarubel. If the Kamakan forces won the battle, then Marasus would swear allegiance to the Badkalden and lead the Eexalonta to the Kadeean capital of Jekuuz, where she would demand that the Galin surrender to the Kamakan. Against the advice of her generals (most of whom believed this was a trap), Denbleson agreed to the deal.

As Marasus was unsure as to whether the Aba was truly on the side of the Kamakan, she did not want to personally command the Eexalonta, as this might be a sacrilegious act. Instead, she delegated responsibility to Aluun-Saas-Karkarn and observed the battle from a nearby hill. Initially, the Eexalonta seemed to be doing exceptionally well and it looked like they would win the battle. However, a series of unforeseen events turned the tide of the battle in favour of the Kamakan, and Marasus took this as a sign from God. In the end, the Battle of Rarubel was won by the Kamakan.

Following the conclusion of the battle, Marasus met with the Badkalden and her advisors and bowed down before her in reverence. She asked for forgiveness and the Badkalden replied that, not only was she forgiven for her past sins, but that she had secured her legacy as a hero of the Kamakan and would be entitled to a grand estate in Teltelee. A document of surrender was then drawn up and signed by the Liithan, the Len-Imbrahaan and the Daadexolta. After this, the newly united leaders of the Eexalonta and Kamakan forces devised their strategy for how to proceed. As Kadee was now effectively defenceless, it was decided that the allied armies would simply march to Jekuuz and demand that the Galin surrender. This journey took place between 511:03 and 511:12, and was known as the Holy March.

#### Conversion of Martzup-Marsee

In 511:12, the combined forces of the Kamakan and Eexalonta arrived in Jekuuz and surrounded the Galin's Palace. They called out to Galin-Martzup and, when she appeared on the balcony of the palace, Marasus demanded that she surrender to the San-Kamakan. Martzup was outraged at the betrayal of her once-loyal commander and ordered Marasus to enter the palace. Once inside, the Galin attempted to assert her superior authority to Marasus, and even resorted to threatening her life, but the Daadexolta refused to concede and insisted that the authority of the Badkalden and the Aba was superior to even that of the Galin. Eventually, Martzup agreed to give the Badkalden an audience, and the Liithan was called inside.

After a long and heated discussion, during which the Galin stubbornly refused to acknowledge the authority of the Badkalden, the latter called upon the Aba to enlighten the Galin. Martzup instantly realised the error of her ways and begged for forgiveness at the feet of the Badkalden. She relinquished her sovereignty to the Liithan and Kadee became the final conquest of the San-Kamakan.
