The War of Falling Stars

Military action

The Praetoran Empire has one last burst of strength

The Praetoran Empire saw this kind of representative government as a threat to their own hold on power, so in 349 AGC the Praetoran Empire launched a surprise invasion into the Dwem’vera Triumvirate the successful invasion of the Triumvirate was seen as a victory for imperial government, and spurred by this they invaded Anor-Gotha next. The Anor-Gothans fought bravely, aided by the Vilkans. But both were toppled by the new imperial fervor from the aging Empire. The Empire’s war motto became “Glory, Pride, Honor” or “Gloria, Gloria, Gloria” as they swept through their old territory. Soon it was only Anglica and Krazkow that stood, with Shyrland staying neutral. And as the Empire came closer and closer to defeating the two last standing kingdoms, Shyrland sent diplomats to Novoto, which at the time held Esla. At the meeting both nations came to the conclusion that they had to intervene. The Novoto and Halflings mustered their armies and marched to aid the other kingdoms, surprising the Praetorans, and starting to push them back. It prolonged the war further till 388 AGC. In 388 the Praetorans lost the Battle of Gothric’s Way, where their army was crushed by the united forces of the Val’Karan kingdoms at last. The bones of the ancient Aerean Empire continued to slowly rot away, as this war became known as the War of Falling Stars. Named so for what many saw as the Empire’s final loss.
