Meera Osnard is the daughter of Allyria, and Tallad Osnard thus making her a member of House Osnard. Meera Osnard has one sibling in the form of Osric Osnard of whom is a knight within the army of Aran as well as having become a Dragon Knight after converting to Dragonoph after visiting the Divine Lands. Meera Osnard was betrothed to Tolven Oggendrat of whom she never met before he would die of sickness before they were able to marry. Meera has one child with Tytos Frey of whom raped her while he was in Aran as a diplomat and this is one of the main causes of war between the two nations.
Meera Osnard was born the second child of Tallad Osnard of whom was overjoyed to have a daughter, and Tallad proved himself to be a very good father to his daughter of whom by the age of six was becoming known for the colorful ways she wore her hair. Meera would be bethrothed to Tolven Oggendrat, and when he was done squiring in the Divine Lands he was to return and they would marry. She would receive word by raven that he had died of sickness, and this was a suprisingly sad moment as the two had grown close through letters he had sent to her over the years. Meera would become the center of the eventual Invasion of Radin after she spurned the advances of Tytos Frey of whom would sneak into her room and rape her following this meeting. The rape would destroy the diolomatic efforts between Aran and the Frey's and Meera's brother Osric killed several Frey men and nearly killed Tytos but a guard blocked an arrow meant for him, and the Frey's were able to escape.

The Invasion of Radin[]

The Invasion of Radin This was a mistake from the first moment we set foot on this island. |
---|
Following the rape of Meera Osnard, and the retreat of the Freys from the island the Freys would nearly immediatly begin massing forces to invade the Island of Radin where they would take by force the Kingdom of Aran. Jared Frey demanded the command, and would be given it as Walder Frey barely thought anything of Aran and was far more focused on the Lucernians travelling into the Divine Lands where he would send several of his more capable children and relatives. At the same time as Jared was planning the invasion of the mainland of the Kingdom of Aran it would Walder Frey that also would command the invasion of the Dutchy of Grey Brann within Aran, and in this regard he would send Jared Frey would amass an army of some seven thousand men, and was carried by the Frey Fleet to Radin where the Aran fleet would not engage them due to the vastly superior numbers, and quality of the Frey fleet in comparison to their own. The one exception to this was a brief naval battle between three ships commanded by Rovin Tikkanen on the side of the Kingdom of Aran, and six ships commanded between Patrek Frey, and Halden Anister but shortly into the battle Halden Anister would cause the sinking of one of the Frey ships and then fired on the two remaining frey ships. This entire action was watched by Rovin Tikkanen and his son Risto with great excitement and following Halden Anister sinking the last of the Frey ships they would approach Rovin Tikkanen's boat and he told Rovin that some of the Frey's coming ashore mainly those close to Olyvar Frey were not bad people. Following this Rovin would return to the port of Gwendale where he would send a raven to Twinvale telling them of the Frey infighting. Landing on the island Jared spit their force into two with two thousand men going west and landing further down under the command of Olyvar Frey while the five thousand remaining would travel directly for the main city of Aran in the form of Twinvale where they would lay siege to the city.
Olyvar Frey would capture a castle that stood separating the western half of the island from the eastern half and he garrisoned it with some eight hundred men, and then left it under the command of the capable John Urdentrot while he took the remaining 1200 men and made his way towards Twinvale. In the east Jared Frey led his five thousand men westward in a direct line against the city of Twinvale, but as he moved he would lose some 1500 men after he would insult the Lady of House Acorn and then executed Travis Acorn of which led to the House Acorn forces pulling back only a few days into the attack. Moving on despite this they would be stopped when they met the forces of the Kingdom of Arran of whom arrayed against them with some four thousand men, thus slightly outnumbering the now depleted Frey army. Jared was advised by his council to pull back and call for more men from the boats as the Freys could call on thousands more easily, but instead Jared refused this and called for battle to be made immediately. The battle would be a complete route as Jared Frey launched the attack, and the forces of House Frey were gaining victory after a brilliant victory on the left flank by Olyn of the Trident, but Jared would launch himself into battle attempting to gain the honor of winning the battle, and was struck down by an arrow to the head and died on the spot. His son Tytos Frey attempted to rally the troops but, his death would signal a full scale retreat as the center collapsed. The Frey army under Olyn of the Trident would retreat in as good an order as could be expected but still only half the original army was able to make it back to the boats.
