Timeline of the Conflict
Deployment of the 2nd Legion
The High Temple deployed the 2nd Legion to subdue the Kingdom of Zeyang. Renowned for their brutality and high tolerance for casualties, the 2nd Legion was the empire's blunt instrument, often unleashed to crush resistance without mercy.
Advance Down the Ze River
The 2nd Legion began their campaign by advancing down the Ze River, systematically destroying every settlement and stronghold in their path. The fertile lands of Zeyang, once teeming with life and prosperity, were left in ruins as the legion's relentless march continued unabated.
Total Annihilation
True to their reputation, the 2nd Legion took no prisoners. The entire civilization of Zeyang was annihilated, with no survivors left to tell the tale. The systematic destruction was so thorough that all traces of the once-great kingdom were eradicated, leaving behind only desolation and death.
Aftermath
In the aftermath of the massacre, the area formerly known as Zeyang, along with the desert beyond it, was renamed the Sanguine Expanse. The name stands as a grim reminder of the bloodshed and destruction wrought by the 2nd Legion. The Zeyang Massacres underscored the brutal efficiency of the Concordian military machine and served as a stark warning to any who might oppose the empire's expansionist ambitions.
