Destruction of Edith

Disaster / Destruction

Albion’s great capital, Edith, fell in the infamous Second Siege. King Alrand Eliedir, the last of the ancient Eliedir line, led a final, desperate defense, fighting to his last breath as his family awaited their fate in the palace. Edith lay in ruins, its royal bloodline gone, marking Albion’s descent into its darkest age.

As dusk's last light filtered through the smoke-filled sky, the sounds of battle raged within the walls of Alions capital. Emperor Alrand bloodied but unyielding, fought with every last ounce of strength, his sword, Vindya flashing as he felled one enemy after another. Around him, the bodies of his Imperial knights lay in the bloodied stone streets, each having given their lives to protect their Emperor and country. Inside the castle, Queen Lirael clutched her children close, her face pale yet resolute as she tried to comfort them. But as the invaders breached the final gate, a chilling silence fell. Alrand’s defiant shout echoed through the halls one last time before being silenced in the clash of steel. The emperor had fallen, and soon, the royal family was no more, swept away like embers in the cold morning breeze.
