Eleador
Eleador, the land against odds
Eleador, as many think, was formed when Sirion underwent a massive shift. Born of two regions, Ustimbar and Rollbar, Eleador was in perpetual Upheaval, until a fellow known as Scott Raven arrived. When he set food on the lands, he instantly realized, he had a hard project to work with. With a hostile army to the south and the side, Scott decided to play one side against the other, and see who would be a better ally. Sirion offered to simply not destroy them, and with help, would start working to get more land. Coimbra and Fontan, simply said they would attack, and try to get us help....seeing how deep Coimbra and Fontan were from Rollbar, Scott made the first pact with Sirion...and started the march south.
The first major engagements occurred, as Eleadorian soldiers fought near Obando, and Dale, working the border south. The soldiers also acted as backline, in case a division or two of Oligarchians broke through Sirion's frontlines. This plan worked well, as Rantangua, Eleador, and Sirion slowly pushed the lines south.
Betrayal
As the wars slowly merged into one large running conflict, Omsk slowly fell, finally surrendering into time. With her one ally gone, Oligarch started fighting 3 allies at any one time, they sought help from Perdan, the large military dictatorship, that was presently neutral. After Oligarch lost their capital city, and had been reduced to 4 regions, Perdan's forces swarm over the river, and started fighting the Sirion armies. At this time, we also had an East Sirion, a West Sirion, and Eleador was at it's apex, of 14 regions. However, two things happened, that caused the frontlines to destablize. First of all, was Perdan's attack....for the longest time, they remained idle....and we thought all was fine....next thing, close to 40 troop commanders stormed the lines, heading north....overrunning several key locations. The other, was the Betrayal, of Rantangua. Beleiveing in a heretic priest, Humblur, Rantangua left the Sirion armies with their forces, and abandonded our troops in the open field....We had reason to believe Humblur prayed to a gold God, but that was a moot point. As battles progressed, and W.Sirion started to lose regions, a choice was made, to keep them alive, by moving their capital to Avamar, as well, to dissolve E.Sirion, back into Sirion proper...about this time, Oligarch City, was dropped into our hands. Less than a week after this happened, and with some bad timing, it was taken back by Oligarch.
Shortly, region by region, Eleador started a long retreat. In the trade to get more frontline actions, our capitals moved from Rollbar, to Ashforth, to Dale, and for a short time, was going to be moved to Oligarch City....but the last standing capital we had was Dale....as soon as it fell, it was the beginning of the end.
After Dale fell, Scott suffered from an out of body experience, in which he was Physically removed from the country....he was able to return, for a short time, and heard that they had made a deal with Oligarch, to spare them....Scott tried to warn them of this folly, but was simply branded a traitor, and told to leave...and he did. Less than a year later...Sirion reclaimed her lost sheep....and bathed the land red.
