Nexalea Joins Novaria

Military action

The Novarians did not anticipate the dangerous lands of Nexalea, as they did the rugged landscapes of their previous expeditions. The tropical jungles that densely populated their lands brought a slew of disease, poisons, and death to the soldiers - clad in heavy, thickly padded, armour. With every step closer to the Nexalean tribal cities, the forces dwindled, overcome with dysentery and gangrenous sores.   The emperor, learning of this incursion, ventured into the jungles alone, in the hopes to broker a compromise with the tribe leaders. He was met with the same fate as his soldiers - cut down with poisonous blades. And, yet, the following months came and he returned. The Nexaleans, amazed, withheld their attacks and believed Novaris to be one of their Gods.   Novaris claimed Nexalea for his Empire, unbeknownst to the natives, and continued his search for new lands to conquer.

With every step closer to the Nexalean tribal cities, the forces dwindled, overcome with dysentery and gangrenous sores. As they set foot within the cities, hails of poisoned arrows fell upon them, wiping out every legion.   The native tribes to Nexalia, knowing now the foreign invaders’ presence, searched every square foot of their forests, eradicating the Novarian pests.

Praising Novaris as Aelochalac - the god of the sun and fire.   Enamoured, nay indulged in this, Novaris granted the Nexaleans a devolved means of power, telling them to allow the strange people in shining clothes to commence trade.
