“You trust in a way I was never taught too. I want you to know though. I'm really trying. I want to be better. For you.”

— Estrid Orane

Estrid Orane is the daughter of Frida, and Leopold Orane making her a member of House Orane.

Estrid Orane would be born the third child of her father Leopold Orane making her at the timie of her birth outside of the line of succession due to her families gender succession laws. Estrid would spend most of her childhood at the Grand Temple of Crane where she became very devout in her belief in Dragonoph, as well as making several very influencial relationships with prominent female nobles of the grand province. Orival would be betrothed to Estrid Orane the daughter of his fathers best friend Leopold Orane and as Estrid came to stay with Orival at Heldencrane Hold and while they got along well it was disagreements about the Swabians that caused conflict between the two. During the late stages of the Rebellion of Low Swabia it was Orival that was forced to deal with the death of Estrid who was killed in a Swabian ambush as she made her way to him, and the death of his heavily pregnant wife led him to leading his force in a vengeful campaign against the Swabian force responsible.

The Rebellion of Low Swabia You never took us seriously in Tree Hill. Win or loss. You will now.

“Quote” — Person Occupation of Skorraholt Violence Spreads Arrival of Marius Treaty of Skorraholt Burning of Oakheart First Battle of Brakeheart Hold First Battle of Deltevh Hold Siege of Castle Oakheart Counter Attack of Tree Hill “We worked for peace. We did everything we could to stop this moment from happening. We have been given no choice now. Time to show them why they should have chosen peace.” — Marius Scott The attack by the Swabians was immediatly sent back to Tree Hill through scouts, and boats and this information reached Leiblinshire, and Klausburg before Tree Hill. House Leiblin under Ealdorman Adelbrand Leiblin would react immediatly and Adelbrand sent his sons Manfred Leiblin, and Godfrey Leiblin to rally the Leiblin vassals while Adelbrand and his daughter Ludwina Leiblin would lead the main force of Leiblinshire towards Deltevh Hold. While this was happening it was House Klausburg which came under the push of Fabian Klauseburg. Having recieved the news that the Swabians were attackign it was Wolfrum Klauseburg that attempted to rally forces to send to assist in the resistence of the Swabians. While he and his brother Archibald Klauseburg were preparing this it was Fabian that arrived at Klausburg and joined by a force of Circle of Magi, and Nighting men they would meet with the Klauseburg leadership. Making it clear that any attempt by Wolfrum to intervene would result in the killing of their daughters and their own imprisonment back at Lucerne. Hearing this it was Wolfrum that relented and agreed to stay out of the conflict, and going further it was Fabian that had the bridges of Klausburg closed thus leaving naval reinforcements unable to quickly move to Brakeheart Hold. Blocking Klausburg “I'm sorry milord. The bridges have been sabotaged by Swabians. It won't be operational for weeks at a minimum.” — Otwin of Klauseburg Marius’s boats arrive at the edge of Klausburg before the rest of the fleet, and as he and Alke look out at the city growing before them they are confused to see the bridges are down. As they get closer a boat pushes off from the Klausburg dock and moves towards them. Meeting with the boat captain they are told that the Klausburg bridges were sabotaged and cannot be raised as of now and will take weeks to repair. Landing their fleet on the north shore they unload the army from the boats, and not waiting for the main fleet to come to shore they begin after only a quick unloading and preparation to begin a fast march towards Brakehart Hold. Relief of Castle Oakheart As they get closer to Brakehart Hold they increasingly told of the danger to Oakheart Castle and thus they send word behind them that they are heading towards the Castle instead of Brakehart Hold. Second Battle of Brakeheart Hold Odothus Schmild and the second Tree Hill division would arrive at the outskirts of Brakeheart Hold where they found that the roads were already clogged up with refugees fleeing from the area. Odothus Schmild would rally these retreating refugees and spending several days recruiting from the area he gathered hundreds to his force. While this was happening it was Odothus that had placed the hold under a heavily scouted siege as he feared that he could be ambushed from other Swabian forces. This approach delayed the outcome of the siege but also put him in a safer position as at this point they still believed the Swabians were going to be victorious at Oakheart and thus the whole area might collapse. Second Battle of Deltevh Hold Burning of Cranehold Battle of Heldencrane Hold Ambush of Estrid Orane Occupation of Skorraholt Invasion of Low Swabia Sack of Dolavik Adelhard would sack the Swabian town of Dolavik, and while he would eventually be called off by the leadership from House Scott the damage was done as the town's walls and most of its buildings had been damaged in some way by the sack of Adelhard on the town. Battle of Kaldbakr Marius would be victorious at the Battle of Kaldbakr, but would during this battle also kill Fromaldus Maldven III. which earned him the hatred of Fromaldus lover Alaric Deldven of the Circle of Magi.
