Lux Tenebris Bellum / War of Dark and Light

Military: War

The War Began on August 11th, at 10 in the morning. The Holy Council sent the declaration of war, and within minutes, the Knothic side began their full-scale invasion of the country of Fraon. The military might of Knothic was heavy, and its first invasion was led by a squadron called the Spearhead Offensive. The Spearhead Offensive, according to legend, was comprised entirely of Blackguard soldiers trained since birth to end the rule of Fraon and its religious indignation. Leading the Spearhead Squadron was a Blackguard Division captain, and although it is unknown what division he may have led, according to survivors of the war, he was described to be a Dullahan. A Dullahan is an undead knight, who charges into the battle with no head, and a skeleton stead. In some cultures, they called him The Reaper. The Holy Council, shocked by this slaughter taking place at the border, sent an elite force of Holy Knights, in particular, The Divine General and his 4 captains. These 5 men, met the full might of the Spearhead Offensive at a town called Bromhild, slightly Northwest of Olkwell. The Dullahan met with the Divine General, David Machdraw at the entrance of the town, where they supposedly discussed terms of surrender from both sides. According to a Fraonic Military Advisor by the name of Willy Jorm, General Machdraw grew tired of the Dullahan's disregard for his own squadron's safety and the following exchange took place; Machdraw: Sir, you cannot possibly think that with your squadron of twenty knights can defeat me, my captains and their soldiers beneath them?! Dullahan: I believe that no matter what is said within this meeting, peace will not be met, and according to your superiors, blood is what you seek. We can grant that wish for you, but only if our wish is granted as well. Machdraw: And what is it that you wish for Captain? Dullahan: I do not wish General, I merely follow the will of my master, and my master wishes for you and your paltry religion to squander the good graces of this world no longer. (Passage End). Following this conversation, the General sent his advisors away and the Dullahan allowed civilians to escape, then they fought. The Holy Knights lost, however, the Spearhead Offensive suffered a loss of roughly 14 individuals. The Dullahan and his six remaining knights continued to rampage across the plains of Fraon. A new Divine General was appointed in David Machdraw’s place, named Fulson Kormick. He was a member of the Justicars until he was transferred over to the Holy Knights. He led a division of the army that was created in panic due to the war called Aegis Caelum, or Shield of God. The Shield of God swiftly approached the town of Trowood to intercept the Spearhead Offensive, where a battle called Deaths Door took place. The Dullahan and his remaining Knights fought long and hard but were inevitably defeated by the Shield of God. The Holy Council used this time to reinforce their borders, which were now pushed back further South than they had hoped for.   Please read the rest in the related article, Lux Tenebris Bellum Extended
