The Engagement

The most important engagement was the Battle of Lake Gios in 3 BVE, in which the rebel attempted to conquer its great dam where the capital relied on feeding. They sent most of their troop into the fight, but end in the devastated result. The dam breached by the unrealized power of the rebellion's arms wiped away most of them both, temporarily turned Gigia into ghost town, and destroyed millions of crops.

The great empire was dissolved, and the greater empire was formed.
