The Battle of Lionfalls
The Battle of Lionfalls was a decisive battle that gave Sarta back its independence during the War of the River. In 350 AC, King Jonas Kadim led the Sartian armies to the Lionfalls where the river Fork forms a delta. There in the marshlands gathered The United Armies of the Fork that had sworn fealty to King Eru Whiteshield.
King Jonas had secured, in secret, the support of military leaders that served in the United Armies, officers of Igros and Sol who were negatively predisposed towards Lothen’s yoke. Jonas rallied an army of 20.000 strong Sartians, supported by agents of Igros and Sol who would sabotage Lothen’s units in battle.
King Jonas deployed a special unit of archers from Raigwood who drove Lothen’s cavalry deeper into the marshlands until they were trapped and slaughtered by volleys of arrows. The battle then moved to the banks of the river where a remaining force of 5.000 Sartians prevailed against 12.000 Lothenians in a historic victory on the 5th of August 350 AC.
The War of the River marked Sarta’s independence and shook Lothen’s foundations, fueling the kingdoms of Igros and Sol with hope.
