Prologue

The relationship between Cenril and Larket has been teetering on a delicate precipice for some time now, marred by a series of unsettling events. It began with what some view as horrific, others justified, witch hunts that culminated in Larket's burning of Valrae at the stake. This act left a deep scar on the collective memory of Cenril. The tensions escalated further when former Mayor Uma Abelin was connected to Valrae's unexpected return to life, casting shadows of suspicion and distrust for many Larketians. Matters took a darker turn when Valrae was elected as Mayor, further straining the already fragile relations.

However, it was during a world leaders summit that the realm was rocked by a shocking revelation—an alliance between Larket and Vailkrin was unveiled, sending shockwaves of unease across Lithrydel. Accusations regarding the mysterious vanishing of Mayor Valrae, last reported near the border, only fueled the fires of suspicion at the second gathering of world leaders. The breaking point arrived when Cenril's Captain of the Guard, Jaxson Ravencroft, was discovered within Larket's borders, launching either a frantic search for the missing Mayor or an unprovoked act of war. This is the final tipping point that plunges Cenril and Larket into an all-out war with consequences that remain uncertain.

Part One - Equaius

With Acting Mayor Hector Cyprian at the helm of Cenril and the efforts of those closest to the Mayor and those in the shadows coming to fruition, Valrae is returned to Cenril. Although official documents from the seaside republic refrain from explicitly pointing fingers at Larket for her mysterious disappearance, the released papers bear heavy implications.

Tensions between Cenril and Vailkrin return to near hostility in light of their seeming alliance with Larket at the World Leader’s summit.

Amidst these developments, Larket successfully defends its stables against sabotage attempts orchestrated by Mahri. In a retaliatory strike, a lone infiltrating mage inflicts fatal food poisoning on several members of the Cenrili guard. Additionally, Larket manages to secure valuable information concerning upcoming battle strategies.

Part Two - Veilora

A hired agent of Cenril manages to infiltrate Larket and successfully sets a trap that later allows victory at the bridge between Larket and Kelay, securing Cenril’s first victories and dealing an impressive blow to Larket.

A small group of Cenrili and Cenril supporters manage to take the water supply to Larket hostage, as well as polluting it to further weaken the kingdom.

There is a small commotion at the gates of Cenril and a small, seemingly harmless turtle manages to steal away part of the secrets that make the gates secure.

Cenrili hired mercenaries, led by Mathollak, manage to break into Larkets labor camp and free the prisoners and witches there despite Rava’s best efforts, earning another victory and further strengthening his leg of the Cenril army.

Ina manages to sneak into the sewer system of Cenril and cause both property and morale damage.

Mahri thwarts Lita’s attempt at releasing Larketian prisoners of war from Cenril’s prisons.

Meri leads an impressive and successful defense of Cenril’s shores, sending the Larket’s navy and its general to a watery grave.

Cresente and Khitti battle in the streets of Larket, with Cresente successfully defending the city and securing another win for the Hard City.

Part Three - Selevann

After the events within Cenril’s sewers, the successfully laid sabotage by Ina comes to fruition. Larket manages to land a blow to Cenril’s sewers and morale. Reports of alligators terrorizing Cenrilians within the city’s sewer begin to circulate.

With Cenril’s earlier winning streak collecting dust amidst a surge in Larket’s repeat victories, morale sinks further. Larket releases a paper touting their wins and mocking Cenril’s losses.

Mathollak leads his band of mercenaries to a battle on open land between Cenril and Larket. Rava’s quick defense and impressive military command win the day and while Mathollak is taken as a prisoner of war, Larket shows no mercy and slaughters all who remain.
