The First Dimensional War (386 - 388)

The First Dimensional War was the war with the Voidlords and Grey Riders up against eachother. What kicked it off was Emperor Balelight's Regicide by the Grey Rider patrol party. Emperor Blackstone, using the anger of the voidmen and women, stirred the Void Realm to landing soldiers to the overworld. Blackstone would lead his armies into battle with the Grey Riders, crushing them at the Battle at the Bloodforest and slaying Raidlord Eyward the First. The Battle would greatly damage the Grey Rider war machine and lead them into more unorthodox ways to defeat their enemies in the future.

Events:

The Regicide of Emperor Balelight

Balelight had arranged a diplomatic meeting with Queen Feymir of the Summerlands and had rode from one of his strongholds out into the overworld hoping to reach the City of the Dawn. But his visit was alas cut short when an Grey Rider patrol attacked his convoy and killed him in his crib. Balelight's servant, Waxen had managed to escape and bring word back to the Void Realm of the event. Without a leader, the senate of the Void Realm known as the Lex selected Lex Blackstone to become the next Emperor of the Void Realm. As the new ruler of the Void Realm, Blackstone convinced the people to join his mobilization against the riders. As he amasses soldiers however, he ordered the creation of the strongholds in case the war backfires. By their completion, Blackstone had amassed 212,000 soldiers along with 34 Voidships to invade the dominions. With his confidant, Dene "Silverboots", he marches outside of the strongholds to meet the Grey Riders in battle.

Having heard of Balelight's regicide, Raidlord Eyward the First would sentence his negligent patrolmen to death for insinuating a war and afterwards he would council with the other seven lords. With their efforts they managed to amass an army of 100000 Raiders with 590 Ravagers and defensive positions in the forests that lead to Eyward's mansion. Their Grand Master, Aggeryn Mole, would also summon 300 witches to aid their cause. With the news also reaching the Summerlands, Queen Feymir sent aid to the Emperor in the form of the Victhelinyr commanded by her son, Prince Halix Solar. With the news also reaching the Moondrifters in some obscure part of the world, Chief Bross wanted to help in anyway form so he sent the Company of the Lunar Fangs to aid lead by Carmen the Fanglord.

The Battle at Bloodforest

As the three armies finally consolidated themselves they march to Eyward's mansion. Confident in his abilities and the teleportation superiority of his soldiers, he pressed ahead through the thick forest which was his blunder. Despite sending out scouts, they were unable to spot the raiders and witches wearing pumpkin heads in the bushes. As they passed through the forest road they were met with arrow fire aswell as powerful watercannons which were able to topple horses and give the Voidsoldiers skin rash, slowing down Blackstone's army. Having realized his error, he sobered his command and ordered his Voidships to drop Crystal Bombs upon the forest which destroyed most of the watercannons. The Victhelinyr and the Lunar Fangs cleared out many of the bush emplacements finding that the Evokers were the only ones able to match their strength. The mansion had also came prepared with ballista emplacements to shoot down the voidships coming.

Seeing the attackers stumble, Eyward's army which hid farther from the action in the dense trees attacked the Emperor's host in the Battle at Bloodforest. The Void Soldier's teleportation abilities outclassed even the evokers and witches but the illager's Water Archers and Ravagers would dwindle their numbers. All the while, the Victhelinyr would raid (WIP)
