Drekis War of Expansion

Following the Demon Invasion of Eridon earlier in the year, Drekis saw it as an opportunity to expand their country into an empire consisting of the Mistryan and Eridonian lands.

March 1510
The Caldonian Expediton were informed by letter from the mainland that the war was started by a letter from High Princess Sela Suulwikk. Also that it was very important that the the Caldonian Expedition turn a profit for the war effort. (Letter 151003 Sela).

April 1510
1510-04-09, two fleets are sent to Eridon to raid it's wealth from Bon' Theris. One of the fleets disappears the next day while passing the Lost Coast. (Letter 151005 Richard & Hardcore Heroes: Episode 42)



May 1510
On 1510-05-15, the siege of Old Vodan begins. The Rwalwikk family has sieged Old Vodan. A hundred mounted knights rode Through Bridge Gate and down the eastern bank of the river while their levies were brought up through the woods east of Bon' Theris by Princess Giselle Rwalwikk and a few hand picked knights. The siege is in place, although Drekis expects Old Vodan to hold out for at least a year. (Letter 151007 Richard)



August & September 1510
Major Tavington lead the Rwalwikk cavalry to take Honeyreach and sack it on 1510-08-14, and then sack Halfhill on 1510-09-27. With the southern towns and villages of Mistrya under Drekis control, the Drekissin consider themselves in a position of great strength.

The siege on Old Vodan continues.

The attempts by Drekis to loot Eridon are not going well. The forces at Peatsburg have been slaughtered. Unknown how the other battles are going due to forest cover. (Letter 151009 Richard)



November 1510
The Mistryan King was been overthrown by Count Alex Guilder, who is now King Guilder.

Halfhill has been razed, effectively giving Drekis control of the fertile southern half of Mistrya. (Letter 151011 Richard)



March 1511
Drekis considers themselves in a solid position to overrun the remaining armies of Mistrya, and predict in six months the war should be over and six months after that the territories of Eridon and Mistrya will be fully brought into the fold. (Letter 151103 Richard)

Scoria and King Alex Guilder have made a deal, with the full implications unknown. King Guilder also has actively raided Eridon for wealth much like Drekis had been attempting, but with far more success. He used these new funds to make a secret arms deal with Akuba. (Akuban Knights: Episode 01).



May 1511
Stoutend is sacked on 1511-05-02 and Dawngate is sacked on 1511-05-13 by Drekis.

Drekis captures a a number of Mistrya soldiers and turns them into slaves. A few of these are sent to Caldonia as a work force.

The free city of Goldhill is captured by two of Scoria's Offspring & the Mistryan Military. One of the two Offspring are killed by Drekissin mercenaries from Bergshire, but the town remains in Mistryan control. (Shenanigans Episode 113). Scoria arrives 10 days too late to save Nessy.

On 1511-05-22, the Drekis armies marching on Bridgelight are attacked and destroyed by Scoria. Scoria then attacked and destroyed the occupying forces at Dawngate. (Letter 151108 Richard).
