The Fafnian Insurgence

Military: War

As the cult rises, and the Fafnian government stops only at pushing them back, the public fears another uprising, and demands for action turn into citezens taking their own action.

After Fafnia had pushed back the CHildren of the Eternals, they stopped their charge there. The Fafnian government did not take measures to ensure that they would not return. But, cult activity persisted, though never to the extent that was its resurgence. Even the Pillar Warriors largely ignored the demands.   Eventually, people took their own action. People would steal weapons, and go on cult hunts. When the Fafnian military tried to stop them, the people lashed out. The Fafnian military retaliated. Back and forth, it started at the southern side of Dragon Peaks. The conflict would soon spread towards the south. It spread to the point whre even the island towns along Dares Pass had rebel activity.   On their most pivotal battle, the Pillar Warriors were mobilized. The Pillar Warrior leading the charge was the daughter of duke Nerak Haedros. Her name was Sudea. She had been chosen by Horoth to wield his power, instead of her going to him, and swearing Horoth's holy oath. She knew not why. The battle lasted days. Fafnia came to Doh'garus for assistance, and Doh'garus sent a small squad of Siegebreakers, led by the son of the council mambers Crotaous, and Sathona Akkamara. The young man's name was Sprizen.   The moment Horoth's Siegebreakers arrived, the rebel line was pushed back to the eastern coast. They followed the rebels to their island bases. The final battle was against one of these island bases. Sprizen, and Sudea were separated from their squads. Sprizen was knocked off his mount, and Sudea was surrounded by rebels. Sprizen moved in to assist, and assist he did. He got the rebel forces off of Sudea. They fought back to back, and saved each other's lives several times over.   While they were separated from their units, victory was earned for the Siegebreakers, and Pillar Warriors. The units had assumed the two had fallen as they were both young, and inexperianced. Their nobility and status allowed them to lead squads of their own. Once each unit saw the two were missing, they left. A full search was launched by the governments of both draconic nations, and the squads that left them were strongly reprimanded.   While Doh'garus and Fafnia were searching, Sprizen and Sudea were stranded on an island, with a pack of zaerta constantly patroling the area. They had to rely on eachother to survive. Sprizen nearly died in the jaws of one of these zaerta. Sudea was forced to kill the beast to save him. Likewise, when Sudea was trapped under some falen trees, Sprizen freed her. These are a few of the dangers the two faced before the search parties finally found them. The situation brought them closer togeather. What started as a friendship when they were first stranded, turned into love.   After they had returned to their homes, they continued to see each other. Sprizen took a more political role among his people for this reason. He would be sent on frequent assignments to Fafnia, and would be able to see Sudea. Likewise, whenever Sudea was on leave, she would go to to Doh'garus. This is the first of many adventures that the two would share.
