Rassal's Revenge
The Conflict
Prelude
Rassal introduces new trade laws that make it cheaper for them to export luxury goods such as precious gems and metals from The Kingdom of Mosat Mosat did not agree to these terms and was enraged at being exploited, so they sent an assassin disguised as a high trader to attend the next grand traders meeting in Rassal. The Mosattan assassin slipped a very potent Suluca poison into the trade guildmaster's wine, causing a violent death to occur in front of the entire panel of tradesmen.
Deployment
The assassin was captured and tortured before being pubicly shamed in the center of Rassal. The Elite Rassalian Guard were brought into action and immediately marched into the borders of The Kingdom of Mosat to teach them a lesson.
Battlefield
As the The Elite Rassalian Guard entered The Great Tentottan Desert they prepared themselves for heated battle. They knew that the Mosattan people were prolific users of the potent poison, Suluca, so they came prepared with a newly discovered antidote from the rainforests of Molura (known to already prevent the effects of many exotic jungle snakes).
The Rassalians drank their Moluran elixirs and stormed The Grand Palace of Mosat.
The Engagement
The Mosattans fought visciously with Suluca coated blades. Fear struck their hearts when The Elite Rassalian Guard did not show the immediate signs of paralysis from the poison. Greatly unprepared and their key strategy destroyed, the Mosattans were slaughtered as the Rassalians claimed the Grand Palace.
News spread quickly of the defeat, causing the remaining population to fight to the death or flee. Some Mosattans even took their own life with Suluca as a painful escape.
