Wicrose
Contents
Realm Description
Wicrose is an empire of evil, ruled by the Rose King who, with the help of his retainers, work to expand power and eliminate obstacles. A realm of intrigue and adventure, where connections are key to survive. A monarchy with a centralized and authoritarian regime, but we welcome all faiths and backgrounds. The Darkened Kingdom of Wicrose will shine as a beacon of darkness upon Dwilight, striking fear into the hearts of its enemies and inspiring awe in its loyal followers.
History
The Collapse of Astrum
Following Gambit Aurelius' proclamation to end Astrum, many Astrumites abandoned the realm, leaving it in a state of disarray. However, some minor nobles refused to let the realm fall and rose up to try to salvage what was left. Unfortunately, their efforts were in vain, as the realm had already been destroyed beyond repair.
Despite the bleak outlook, the remaining nobles decided to attempt to retake the city of Freke and rebuild the realm. Surprisingly, Gambit the Destroyer offered to assist in their efforts. When the city was recaptured, Gambit quickly appointed himself as the new lord of Freke. This development was met with ridicule, and some of the nobles sought help from the Ascendancy of Eternal Luria Nova. A more detailed account can be found within the tomes describing the Astrumese Succession War
The Founding of Wicrose
The Lurians responded by marching to Mimer to help them establish a new home there. They handed over the city to the nobles and provided 15,000 gold to aid in the rebuilding of the realm. The nobles quickly overthrew Gambit and relocated their capital to Mimer, distancing themselves from the former ruler. The realm was rebranded as Wicrose, but it was plagued with political instability from the start. The first few rulers disappeared under mysterious circumstances, leaving the realm vulnerable to external threats.
War with the West
After the fall of Astrum, Westgard took control of Libidizedd. Wicrose claimed the former Astrumese city. Tensions escalated when the Wicrosi infiltrator Eiric Wilde wreaked havoc on Westgardian lands. Westgard formally declare war and, months later, Avenor joined; both realms citing the attacks of Eiric Wilde as justification.
End of Wicrose
Rose King Munet Pentel's declaration of war against Luria Nova marked the beginning of a conflict that ultimately razed the remnants of the realm. In a swift and decisive ten-day campaign, Luria Nova obliterated Wicrose, leaving no trace of its former existence.
