Sands of Time Fourth Age of Beluaterra. As Enweil and Riombara remained in the relative stalemate, the new King of Irombrozia, Anselm Recena, decreed that the High Chancellor Delvin Anaris of Riombara has shown his intention to lead Riombara to war against Irombrozia as soon as the time permits that. Little did King Anselm knew that Riombara cherishes democratical principles and that the vote were to be held if war declarations were to occur. Nevertheless, the war of Riombara against three other realms had begun. Enweil and Avalon invaded the Riombaran soil from the North and Irombrozia from the South. Irombrozia is a small realm to the south of Riombara that is centralized in Irombro, a city which once was a part of Riombara. In the Third Age of Beluaterra the Duke of Irombro seceded his city from Riombara thus starting the long civil war within Riombara. Riombara was in a dire situation. With enemies circling around her, the realm was imploding from within. Hit by several treasons and internal dissatisfaction the realm lost a fair deal of battles and land. Most important treasons were those of the High Constable of Riombara, Sir Colin Bedwyr (who met his demise and died in a duel in Bolkenia) and the Lord of Armdore, Sir Alair Scirius, who had aligned his region to the Duchy of Irombro. Ajitmon and Kuugl were looted to the ground, the Irombrozians attacked Rueffilo and Rii and managed to conquer them both. Many raids occurred in the heartland of Riombara and many nobles left as a result of defeats. Ultimately, the city of Rines had fallen due to the starvation, massive sieges, the mischiefs of the Blood Cult priests and due to a poor management of the Duke of Rines. The realm was very close to her death and with the assistance of the Kindgom of Alluran was using her last resources to repel the invaders who have managed to advance so close to Riombara's capital city Grehk. With their last defenses Riombara successfully took Ardmore and defeated her enemies. The hour was dark but the hope lied in the North. Riombara appealed to the northern realms for the injustice brought to her by her enemies, and the northern realms recognized that. Soon the armies of Mesh, Hetland, Heen and Sint assaulted the Enweilian northern border. Enweil quickly summoned Avalon to defend them and that left Riombara and the Kingdom of Alluran alone with the Irombrozian rebels. In that time Riombara took back Rii and Rueffillo and Irombrozia was getting nearer to their demise. Then, the war between Old Grehk and Fronen escalated to global proportions drawing almost entire Beluaterra into that conflict. Sadly for Riombara, Enweil was free to do as they wish again and it seemed nothing could stop their advancing armies. However, as all things come to pass so did Riombaran disease. While Enweil was busy up north, the trouble makers were chased off from the realm and a new generation of heroes took it upon themselves to defend Riombara from the onslaught. The Enweilian forces with their minds set on pillaging, raping and destroying invaded with great enthusiasm convinced they cannot lose, but the Riombaran line of defense was made of steel and Enweil learned that in a hard way. There were several huge battles in that time and in all of them the Enweilian forces were utterly defeat and routed. One that is to be remembered is the popularly called Shooting Turkeys. The battle took place in Mio Dupaki and it was an absolute massacre of the Enweilian invaders that no one expected. From that day on, Enweil has not yet gathered the courage to invade Riombara again. Riombara survived against all odds. From the bitter adversity new leaders have emerged trough steel and the realm was safe on the wings of glory again. The young and the old together stood in the realm they can be proud of and continued to war the rebel Irombrozians south of them. As the Riombaran pressure gets higher and higher one can only wonder for how long can Irombrozia defend before they declare full capitulation and a surrender. ~Asterion Arrakis, Duke of Grehk |
