Death of Redspan

Redspan was destroyed in a war with the Cagilan Empire, Tara, Carelia, and Talerium. The overall reason was to get to Abington by first removing its only ally. Immediate reasons were the unrestricted assassinations performed by various Redspan Infiltrators such as AJ during peacetime. Various leaders from Darka, Talerium, CE and Tara were attacked in violation of standing tradition and agreements.

All of Redspan's former regions are now parts of Tara and Carelia.

The Invasion of Redspan was planned solely by Carelia. After the massive damage done on Stargard by a Darkan Raid (caused by the stabbing of a Darkan Councilor), Carelia abandoned the Southern Alliance and approached the leaders of the Cagilan Empire and Tara. Using knowledge gained from their former alliance, Carelia presented a complete plan for Redspan's destruction. It is believed Carelia knew the disposition of the army of Abington and struck the Redspan capital before Abington could reinforce it. Abington itself was unstable due to an insane ruler. Unable to aid their ally effectively, Abington watched as first Stargard then Sullenport fell to the enemy.

Thus ends Redspan...

Pivotal Battles in our History

The Battle of Stargard - A battle of legendary proportions, though unfortunately our scribes have been unable to recover any documentation concerning it. Beforehand Lei'o'mano Kamehameha gave his famous speech, and Abington reinforcements arrived in the nick of time to help RedSpan's brave defenders fight off the vast Northern Alliance horde attempting to sack the city, and thus preserve our realm.

The Battle of Ambermel I - Here the fierce warriors of Redspan slew Lelnor, King of the Ash Sea Islands, and wounded many of his followers in defense of the realm.

The Battle of Ash'rily I - The third-largest battle in the history of Redspan (about 55,000 combined CS). We fought against the Ash Sea Islands with our allies, Carelia and Abington, and conquered the city together, finally returning it to Abington control.

The Battle of Atblane I - The second-largest battle ever fought in the history of the world (over 76,000 combined CS). With Stargard under siege by armies from Cagilan Empire, Tara, Ash Sea Islands, Darka, and Falasan, Redspan and her Federation partners, Abington and Carelia fought an amazing battle, breaking their Takeover attempt of the region and driving the invaders from our lands.

The Battle of Meldeen I - The largest battle in the history of the world, with over 90,000 CS.

The Battle of Tandsu I - A tragic battle for the nobles of RedSpan and their allies. Not only did they lose the battle, but we lost our brave General, Leonard Enstance, as well.
