The Wars of Men

The War of Nations
A marriage was set between an Okorian Prince and a Baarongian Princess by their fathers. However this marriage was not decided by the Princes herself, and she was not happy about this marriage. Three days after the wedding in Baarong the Baarongian Princess stabbed the Prince in the heart while he was asleep. A war broke out for the venguance of the Prince between Okoria and Baarong. Baarong asked aid to the Nuriens and together they fought against the Okorians. The war lasted five years with a few battles in the plains of Baarong and Okoria, but not much more. An agreement was made that the two nations would never wed eachothers children ever again.

The War of Sons
King Koldor sent out a host of Valkaarians to rescue his son from the elves. A battle at sea broke out in the Nurien Sea between the Valkaarian Fleet and the Illanur Fleet. The attack was led by the eldest son Maldor and won the battle after a long night of fire and rain. He continued his fleet and landed at the shores of Velios. With his forces weakend and their weapons broken or bent he had nothing left to do but stay at the shores and wait for reinforcements. After a week waiting his brother Valtos arrived with and army and a great amount of supplies. With the reinforcements the army led by Maldor besieged the capital of Velios. After four months of fighting and death the Valkaarians set out the first terms; give them Vildur and they will stop the battle and end the war. The elves agreed on this because they had enough of the fighting and released Vildur. Vildur returned to Valkaar to face the judgment of his father and his people. Vildur was given the punishment to never leave the city again and never to speak to another elf again. But during his captivity many were worshipping Vildur and also wanted to drink the blood of an elf. When Vildur found out he had followers he started a cult for the drinking of elven blood, they were commonly known as the Corrupt Ones. He sended his followers to Velios to retrieve the blood of elves and bring it back to Valkaar for be drank by Vildur. When his cult grew by the day they were strong in numbers and ready for war. Vildur also corrupted the minds of his two brothers Baldor and Valandor by slipping elven blood in their drinks.

The War of Betrayal
With a strong force behind him and his two corrupted brothers who supported him, Vilius was ready for war and avenge his captivity to the elves. He gathered his forces and had a full on charge and the elves. He pillaged and burned the lands of Velios and let his servants drink the blood of the elves. King Koldor could not believe that his two sons went down this path that Vilius led them too. He took his army of Valkaarians and went himself with all his sons after the Betrayer. A great battle broke out at the planes of Velios and King Koldor and his sons won. During the battle Valandor was killed and Vilius and Baldor fled to the north with their army to regain strength. In their retreat to the north they gained many allies by currupting their minds and telling the lies of power. His army was made of his bannerman, Okorian Soliders, Pirates and Mercenaries. With a full force behind his back he returned to Valkaar to attack his own city and kill his brothers. During this time there were many who joined the alliance of King Koldor, the Nuriens and the Baarongians joined them. With Vilius besieging the cities of Valkaar, the armies of King Koldor and his sons were weakend and was forced to retreat to Nurien. After a year the lands of Valkaar belonged to Vilius and under his reign he gained many servants.

After years of constant battle the forces of Nurien saw no end to this war, and needed more allies. The Khotorians were already a strong nation with a fiersom army. King Koldor went to Numarias himself to ask King Thrulin for his aid. But Thurlin refused to help the King because they do not want to interfere with the affairs of men and want to remain in peace. The days grew shorter and the night darker and the legions of Valkaar were stronger then ever. With a force of 30.000 strong Baldor assaulted the land of Baarong and raided the towns and villages. Because Thurlin was in an alliance with the Baarongians he had no choice but to help them. He leaded his legion in to their first battle, he had a host of 7.000 Khotorians against the armies of Valkaar. At the Great Plains the armies clashed and it was a bloody battle. The Khotorians destroyed the armies of Valkaar and killed Baldor in the battle. Thurlin knew from that day that they could not stay out of this war and had to help the Nuriens. After the setback of the Valkaarians, Vildur set out on a conquest with 100.000 men to Nurien. He attacked the capital and killed and burned everyone and everything inside. He slayed his brothers and his father in the throne room and killed the Nurien lords. He returned with the heads of his brothers and father and hanged them in his throne room. After the conquest of Nurien Vildur marched with his army to Baarong to avenge his brother. He went from city to city and killed everyone and burned everything. For 2 years he stayed in Baarong and terrorized the land and its people. In that time the Khotorians had grown from a small faction to a strong nation and had a force of 40.000 soldiers. King Thurlin led his army against Vildur's forces and fought at the Hills of Silver. Vildur and his army lost the battle and retreated back to Valkaar. After 2 years Thurlin had no choice but to ask for terms of peace. Vildur accept these and the war was ended.

The War of Vengeance
While Thurlin knew that peace would not last long he claimed the all the lands of Baarong and founded the city of Andurias and the Khotor Kingdom was born.
