In the first battle between the Lourians and the Falradian Empire, a Falradian defeat would delay the Empire's arrival in Louria but only a short five months later the 31st Expedition made landfall on Louria and would begin to pave the way for a Falradian landing upon the western shores of Northern Louria. However, it would not be until the 34th Expedition's arrival that the Empire would truly gain traction and begin the subjugation or destruction of the local Hill-Men Clans and the Western Realm of the Swanborn.
