— Anya Orlov

Sofia Orlov as a secret member of the Tzeneech Cult would begin spreading information to the Rus forces through her intimate knowledge of what was happening in Ukraine's leadership through her father the King and this would completely come to a head when she passed the battle plans for the Battle of Usengrad to the Rus forces leading to the Rus forces being completely aware that Sergey and the Ukraine forces were going to sally out of Usengrad and bring the fight to Rus allowing Korotkov to plan a massive ambush against their forces. It would be Anya Orlov watching from the walls of Usengrad as the army of Ukraine is utterly crushed by the Rus army and devastated by this she is taken away by Durova Kirur of whom leads her out of the city alongside her mother and sister Alexandra but the group is unable to find her sister Sofia and after hours of searching they are forced to leave as the forces of Rus break through the depleted garrison at the main gate and enter the city.

Siege of Kiev[]

She would be fourteen when the first Russian army arrived at the steps of Kiev, and the first time this happened her brother Anton rallied forces to defeat them but suffered serious wounds in the battle forcing Anya at the young age to take over leadership of much of Kiev. Only two months after this battle and with her brother still being nursed by her and the others every day a larger Russian army arrived north of Kiev and waited in the field for Anton to fight them once again, but their size meant he had not the forces to win the battle so instead stayed behind the walls of Kiev. After a month of taunting the Kiev defenders with their size and coming to see no reinforcements were coming from the south the Russians surrounded the city, and put it under siege.

New Monarchy[]

“The time of Ukraine is over my dear sister. You have only one choice now. Listen to me and survive. Or...Don't listen to me and die. The choice is yours.”

While Anya made her way through the fallen city to the southern gatehouse it was Anton of whom prepared the defenses but as he begin making orders he discovered the sounds of fighting had stopped and no one listened to him, and demanding to know what was happening he would be met with silence and attempting to flee himself he was stopped by the arrival of the Rus forces. Led by the Chaos Lord Yutilov Vasilievich the arriving Rus taunted the young prince of Ukraine and despite the Ukraine Palace guardsmen oaths they remained silent allowing Yutilov to challenge Anton to single combat where he would swiftly kill the young man who died crying out for his mother, of which would be seen by the hundred men of the Palace Guard, the entire Rus force and several nobles watching from the palace grounds. Anya would escape through the southern gate but upon exiting the gatehouse her guards abandoned her outside of two of them while the remainder shut the gate behind her leaving her and her two remaining guards to begin riding south but they didn't get far before they were stopped on the road by a large group. and was made to swear unconditional surrender of Kiev to the Russians of which signaled alongside the death of her brother the main resistance to the Russian forces in Kiev. She would be held and unable to leave the Palace Grounds for nearly two months before the Russian selected Lord of Kiev arrived in the form of Mikhail Ostrog, and he acted quickly naming her as High Lady of Kiev and the Queen of Ukraine a title which due to her control of Kiev she basically usurped from her surviving family in Crimeria.
