The unification of Bran'Aredh

According to the records of the saeli'tuk, on the year 1297 begun the war that ended with the unification of the seven daughters of Ahlor to one kingdom. It was some years earlier, in 1291 that the coup had place, when the royal advisor, Er'Jakhar assassinated Hash'Rasel, the king of Bran'Aredh (at the time the name referred to what later became Orid, the capital of Bran'Aredh), and married Nar'Anaya, his widow. Even though they never had children together, he had two sons from his previous marriage, and she had a daughter, Sel'Orid serr Hash'Rasel, the rightful heiress to the throne, who had vanished on the day of the coup and was presumed dead.   In 1297, Nar'Anaya committed suicide a day after her husband passed to Ahlor's grace, thus leaving Bran'Aredh to the mercy of his sons, Khar'Erdan, the cripple, and Khar'Saren, the scarred, who had bitterly hated each other since their infancy. Even though Khar'Erdan was the eldest, and thus - in the abselce of Sel'Orid - the rightful heir, there were many who did not want a cripple on the throne, and sided with Khar'Saren. For three years the brothers fought, depleting their resources, until Sel'Orid returned, now a grown woman and initiate priestess of Rel'Ahlor, in order to claim her father's throne.   Sel'Orid did the tactically smart thing and chose the elder brother as her husband, but the young one murdered her only moments after the ceremony had taken place. Even though he himself was also killed that day, his advisers desperately hang on whatever remnants of power they still had over his army, and it took the interference of the Order of Shadow to end this war one and for all.   Khar'Erdan sarr Er'Jakhar became the man who united the seven cities of the desert, the seven daughters of the god, to one kingdom, now called Bran'Aredh, and gave Sel'Orid's name to the capital, to remember and honour the woman who overcame her grief and rightful anger for the murder of her father, and decided to join her life to that of a cripple man, because she saw a good king inside him.
