Taking back Saarmen

The Anuire army over reacted to a refused political marriage proposal and used it as an excuse to try to retake Muden. 
The forces of Brechtur took this war serious and enforced a ballet that everyone over the age of 12 had to enter. The military would forcibly remove people from homes whose names were drawn to enter the conflict resulting in many families smuggling their children out of the city in hopes of seeing them again after serving out their prison sentences for aiding and abetting those who fled their duty to their country. 
The war ended with Brechtur repelling the forces.

The Conflict

Prelude

When Muden was originally settled and Saarmen was developed it was a Brecht nation. However in 40 HC the Kingdom of Anurie seized control of the land. In 976 HC the Brechtur Nation was able to take back their land.

Deployment

The Lord of the City had refused a political marriage which escalated to a war.

Battlefield

The city of Saarmen was the battle field, where the outer sections of the city were destroyed and sacrificed in order to create difficult terrain for enemies that attempted to lay siege to the city.

Outcome

Brechtur was able to repel the forces and after a year of diplomatic talks, the civil war came to an end.

Aftermath

Anuire has poor relations with Brechtur with their failed attempt to retake the nation.

Historical Significance

Legacy

In Brechlen a Dwarven mercenary, named Eardoth, gained some legacy when he helped families who were trying to help their children escape the conflict. Once the war was over he continued to help the families by bringing their children home again. Not one of the children would ever reveal where they went or anything about. Just that it was safe and they were happy to be home again. There is a statue dedicated him in Brechlen.
