The Second Dubrian War
Military actionLess than a month after ascending the throne, Maedus Faheem declares war against Dubria in retaliation for the death of his father and the capture of their territory in The First Dubrian War. During the short peace between the First Dubrian War and this act of aggression, Maedus had been drilling his armies, and the force that he brought to bear was significantly more capable than those led by his father three short years ago. Regardless, Faheem saw little success in the war. Though Fort Vesteem did succumb to an assault, it was retaken again in the same year. The Dubrian counteroffensive campaign was slow and steady, pushing Faheem's forces and borders ever further back. Though the people of Faheem resist at every step, the slow push of the Dubrian army is as inevitable as the return of the Moon. Despite foreign aid to Dubria being cut in the 56th Year of Record, and general fatigue from the people of Dubria with the war, the push does not end, though it does slow. The war eventually ends with an assault on Faheem's capital city, Maylif, where Grast personally ends Maedus' life. Dubria annexes Faheem as its broken and battered military surrenders with the death of their ruler.

Kraem chooses to draw Tyran, and Moralus draws Polaris in return, and Kraem is killed in the exchange.
