Crown Conquest

Military: War

The Queen of Night established her Crown Dominion over the Seal in a bloody war that started in Helden and ended with the Seal at her feet.

Accounts like this dot the years leading up to the establishment of the Crown Dominion until in 2A 606 The Queen of Night marched into Helden and declared herself to be the Rightful Ruler of the Seal. The Continent watched in horror as King Ruden of Isslefaw knelt to her. Not all the Seal sat in stunned silence however seeing an opportunity to finally gain control of Helden High Lady Elinor of the Lords Alliance gathered an army to march on the city. The self-proclaimed Queen met her on the field with an army a tenth their size.

Despite the overwhelming odds, Lady Elinor’s army is said to have been instantly devastated, with some reports stating that the earth itself swallowed her army up. The next two years are well documented, over the first 6 months the Queen spreading her influence within the Helden pocket, some kingdoms like the Tri Mountain kingdoms of Danborn submitted peacefully in those that did not, the Queen would plant her banner, an hourglass silhouetted over a shining sun, through their hearts. Once her crown conquest controlled the land from Draϋgheim to Rookwood she made to focus her efforts to the west, rumours were spiking that the Kingdoms of Humanity were uniting like they had in the first age. The Queen would not allow this to happen and gathered her first large scale army to subjugate the west.

Although the fame of her godly armour is widespread across the Seal, what is so often forgotten is her tactical prowess. Along with her main army she brought with her a battalion of commoners whom she dressed in what appeared to be fine armour sending them towards the city of Dawnhelm, western capital of the kingdom of Ridria, who gathered the strongest force of the land, forging desperate alliances with lesser kingdoms in a vain attempt bolster strength, meanwhile the Queens real force tore through the rest of the Idrain and Aldrik regions whilst the great army watched on powerlessly, starved and helpless the army would swiftly surrender. The Queen would go from win to win over the following year and in 2A 608 controlled the entire Seal, declaring the Crown Conquest to be completed and the Crown Dominion established. Declaring herself as the almighty power in the Seal, blacking out the sky as a show of her power above the gods.
