The Battle at Alban Pass

Military action

The Battle at Alban Pass was a bloody affair between the Felleveign Theocracy and The Hekkeran Empire. It was in summary a border dispute but ended up going far beyond that. The Empire's Army was led by Emperor Gelden Von Mictner Hyltannis Reladon III and it was here that he earned the name The Bloody Emperor. As the Theocracy stormed past the border to take Alban Pass and the nearby settlements as their own the Emperor had only this to say "A kingdom is her people, and I am its ruler. So to defile my people is to defile the equivalent of the very throne I sit upon."   This would mark the beginning of an almost 5 month long war between the two nations. There were heavy losses on both sides as a total of 30,000 soldiers were killed in the ensuing combat. However, Emperor Reladon was successful in repelling the Theocracy's advances ultimately winning the war. It was after this moment that The Bloody Emperor started taking many leaps and bounds toward securing peaceful relations with the surrounding nations in hopes of avoiding such bloodshed again.
