The revolution

For the following story, you should know that Dayr az Zawr was a region separated in the Zawr and the Dayr part. The Zawrians, living in the East of the region, were more civilized then the Dayr people in the West. Already since the foundation of Ibladesh, Dayr and Zawr were united under the name Dayr az Zawr. This was not what the people of Dayr and Zawr prefered, but what Ibladesh wanted. The people of Dayr az Zawr didn't mind really, in fact, as long as they could keep their fields, they were happy.

But as always, something happens in history. It was somewhere in the dark months of the winter. It was cold. There was a war with Perdan going on. Ibladesh was slightly loosing, however they had just retaken an important region. But then, without any good reason, there were strange things happening. Cows died, animals in the forest turned crazy, the grass turned purple, there were flood waves, earthquakes, eruptions of volcanoes... The world was going crazy. And that's where the civil war of Dayr az Zawr begins. There were tensions between the Dayr and the Zawr people. They both blamed each other for the recent happenings in the world. They went even so far, that both sides decided to fight each other.

Both sides gathered at a dark night or day. There was no difference between day and night anymore. Simon, the then-being count of Dayr az Zawr, didn't knew of it. He had visited his family, who are from Dayr az Zawr, just a few hours before. It all happened so quickly. Both sides gathered, the Dayr side being slightly outnumbered to the Zawr side. But the Dayr side had strong pikemen, which made the Zawr cavalry virtually useless. The Zawr side charged first, after dropping some arrows on the Dayrians. Many Dayrians died, and the Zawr side killed many more. But the Dayrians fought bravely, and could resist the Zawrian charge. After some more hours of arrow shooting and bashing onto each others heads, something very strange happened, that ended the battle.

A giant Earthquake shocked the battlefield. Almost every men fell on the ground. Both Dayrian and Zawrian side were in panic. Both sides retreated quickly to their own regions. The Earthquake kept going on for two hours. After the Earthquake, it was obvious that the Gods didn't wanted a fight. So both sides decided to send diplomats for negotiation. It took 2 days, before Dayr and Zawr were separated again. The Dayr side mainly exists out of Badlands, while the Zawr side is Rural land.

The Zawr side would stay under the command of Simon, because the Cuvelier Family decided to stay in Zawr. The Dayr side would be very small, about 600 civilians, while the Zawr side would get the other 6000 civilians. Then, when the skies cleared up and sun shone once more on the fields, men returned to Ibladeshian armies to fight against Perdan.
