Valerian Invasion of Arnor

The Valerian Invasion of Arnor was a conflict between the forces of the Empire of Valeria against eh defending forces of Arnor. The War itself is a part of the larger Second Arnor War, and was the precursor event that led to The Empire believing they could succede in destroying Arnor once and for all. The war left western Arnor in ruins, and at its end only the ruins of the Frostmore were left with the other major towns, and castles either destroyed or surrendering to Valerian, and Emperian forces.

The War
Following the succesful coup of Kein Zegars against his brother Scotty Zegars the Empire of Valeria had become a hotbed of chaos activity that was only resisted by his sister Leighton of whom was leading the Free Army of Valeria against the chaos forces of her brother. Believing he was never going to be respected and loved until he had gotten his revenge Kevin would begin open hostilities against the already overstretched forces of Arnor. Wiping out small villages and farms all across western Arnor, he would instigate the army of Loust into fighting him on the field of battle.

Massacre of Yein



 * "I had seen this Kevin Zegars once before when were besieging the city of Munchen. He hid behind the walls as his people died, and I swore back then that I would make him pay for all the lives that were lost. He didn't know what he was dealing with when he came to our land."


 * -Arnet Hartas

Loust was led by the experianced commander Arnet Hartas of whom led some twenty thousand troops onto the field against the army of Kevin Zegars of whom had some where around four thousand but many thousand were cultists and ill equipped. The two forces met near the village of Yein, and Arnet would deploy his forces in a standard defensive posture and waited for the forces of Kevin to come to him. Kevin though was now anwsering to a higher voice, and the night before the battle hundreds of captured farmers, and villagers were sacrifised to Slanaash, and this led to the summoning of dozens of monsterous demons, and thousands of smaller demons. These demons moved at the front of the army, and the forces of Arnor awoke to horns alerting them to the coming attack. The demons hit the army of Arnet with a ferocity that was unseen amongst mortals, and fear struck them as they fought monstors from their nightmares. The demons ran rampant killing dozens of Arnor soldiers for very one of them that fell, and then what little moral remained in the Arnor forces collapsed when N'kari a keeper of Secrets massacred the entire command regiment of the army and ripped Arnet to pieces. What little remained of the army attempted to retreat but the majority of the army was massacred trying to retreat by the mortal forces led by Kevin of whom had moved in behind the army to complete the destruction.

Reinforcements
Word filtered back to eastern Arnor about the invasion through the words of the few survivors of the massacre, and through this they came to understand the consequences of what was going on. The men who returned spoke stories of demons, and monsters amongst the enemy, but this was taken as madness by the leadership of Loust so they never sent this information eastward towards Fornost. Jonas by this point was clinging to life, and thus Chris Hemsworth took control of the situation and decided very quickly that he would lead a large force west to deal with the monsters. Chris would raise some sixty thousand troops of whom he gathered within two weeks and was marching on Loust with all speed. Another army from Frostmore was assembled, but it was forced away from the conflict by the harassment of Lord Harshion the most senior Lord of Kevin's forces. Lord Harshion would cpature hundreds of people north of Frostmore in raids, and send them back to Fort Valeria in chains where they awaited a fate worse then death. Whenever Frostmore attempted to engage him he simply vanished into the forests, and escaped the chase.


 * "I spoke to a god now. She spoke the most beuatiful words to me. Like a melody I couldn't ever stop listening to the songs of her voice. Never in my life had I known such perfection."


 * -Kevin Zegars

While he was raising the army, and marching the forces of Kevin had besieged the city of Loust of whom was completely cut off from assistence. Kevin by this point had swelled his army to some ten thousand mortals, and nearly twenty thousand demons. His demonic army swelled as he massacred all the villages, and farms east of Loust that had thought themselves safe from the threat. So by the time that Chris was assembled the forces of Kevin numbered nearly fifty thousand of many different kinds of troops. The Demonic army maintained the siege of Loust while Kevin and his mortal forces ran around the Loust province killing and plundering the entire area in the name of Slanaash.

Battle of Loust
When he arrives at the besieged town of Loust he is horrified to see a massive army of Chaos demons surrounding the city instead of the Valerians that he assumed were attacking the city. Chris would fight a pitched battle now called the Battle of Loust where he and Kevin Zegars fought on the southern outskirts of the city, and the brutal fight ended with the Arnor army in full retreat, and Chris Hemsworth dead on the field with the sword of Kevin Zegars being the death blow. Chris's death shocked Arnor, and the demorilized army of Arnor could do nothing to help as Loust was sacked and completely wiped out by Kevin and his chaos forces. Chris's body was cut into hundreds of pieces and sent to Fornost as a final insult to the honorable heir to Arnor.
