The Battle of Modar

Image by redpeggy of deviant art

It began in the year 95, we had received word of a strange species of rock - like - people who called themselves Warforged settled in the fiery volcanoes of Vesuvula. We had heard stories of exceptional weapons and powerful armor with resources we had never even heard of. As a nation of peaceful disputes, we wished to establish good bonds with these folk, not only to have an ally during battles, but also for strong trade bonds. We had sent an invitation to the leader of the Warforged, Modar, but before we could arrange to meet, word reached us that they had troops moving South West towards our main settlement which was still growing.
We had no ruler as we were still debating as to how we should control our country. It was still male dominated and in our state of panic we managed to train some troops and make some battle plans, but we were late, understaffed and under-trained as well as having no battle experience. Our first battle was a slaughter against the rock folk, we lost thousands of men and the people were outraged and fearful as our only footing in Vesuvula was slowly being taken. But this battle was not going to be in vain, little did we know that this battle was not only going to shape our diplomatic system, but also create great ties with the Warforged and help resolve our sexist ideals

The Conflict

Prelude

We don't know why the Warforged started the battle, but one voice (Anastasio Arbitrium) spoke up above the crowd and managed to reach peace with the stubborn folk, no - one knows how she did, but we were happy it was over. Our cease fire was what started the peace, our monarchy and less sexist ideals

Battlefield

The battle took place on the once owned Vesuvula land now known as the Plains of Crimson. It began on the outskirts of Vesuvula and slowly built down towards Breace.

Outcome

In the short - term, the people of Breace and the Warforged reached a state of peace. Trade bonds opened which helped equip the people of Breace with strong weapons and armor aswell as knowledge of new materials and techniques in the forge and on the battle field.

Aftermath

It helped establish a strong monarchy ruled by a queen thanks to Anastasio's diplomatic strength proving the strength of words.
