Chronicles VXI, Part IV - A Brief Account of Imperial Conquest

Kept by the Scholars of the Church of Serios

 

Fodlan is a land plagued by war and uncertainty. For the past ten years several powers have waged epic battles in a effort to take control the continent. From these battles, the Adrestian Empire eventually controlled all, it’s influence exerted across the lands. But, in spite of their victory, many still fought against them and they tyrannical rule.
 

The former Kingdom of Faerghus housed many of these outlaws, still loyal to their dethroned prince. The Prince led his people from battle to battle, gaining little, but strategically precious, land and strongholds. But, at the Battle of Galatea, a great calamity occurred leaving the Prince and many of his followers missing, seemingly vanished from the battlefield. This sudden disappearance left many rebels of the Empire fearful and they retreated into hiding.
 

For the moment, the Empire is concentrated on suppressing the noble uprising in Deirdru, leaving the former territory of Faerghus to it’s own devices. It is our hope that Fodlan will one day return to more peaceful times. But the Empire is determined to gain absolute control, so for as long as others oppose them, war will be a constant companion to the people. May Serios give us all strength.
