The War of Bloody Shores

Military: War

Only three months after the devastating Battle of the Dunes, a fleet of ships from Penrose and Grimvale sailed down opposite coasts, with the western fleet again making landfall south of Old Erytheia -- now abandoned -- and the eastern fleet landing at the mouths of the Calcelon and Sura rivers.
  Troops in the west laid waste to the village of Helmvere, which was largely a refugee camp filled with Old Erytheians who had fled the Battle of the Dunes. They were unsuccessful in their attempts to take the settlement of Drodkur, and made their way towards Uklon, where they were soundly defeated by the Convened Nomadic Tribes and were forced to retreat.
  The eastern troops attempted to penetrate the Forests of Pando and the Surassan Jungle, but the environments proved too treacherous and their inhabitants too determined to overcome. While the small settlement of Belia was destroyed, the cities of Mandir and Surassa were never invaded and the surviving troops retreated to their ships.
  As they departed, the troops which had landed at the mouth of the Sura River sailed west rather than east, and as a final, spiteful blow, decimated Shul's Temple on the Isle of Shul. Oral tradition in Prehn and historical records in Chalcedon both say that, in his rage at the deaths of his priesthood and the decimation of the temple and village built in his name, Shul unleashed his fury and caused the volcano, dormant since the Age of Fire, to erupt, turning the invaders' bodies to stone.
  Legend in Prehn holds that the Isle of Shul is still littered with the petrified remains of the invaders, as well as their spirits -- none venture there.
