The Kuseme War – 712 TR

 

 

In 712 the Kandian Earl of Kuseme sent some knights to enforce his claims on

villages to the east and north of Eidru. Two of these were within the borders of

Ramala province. The Senate ordered the Marshal of Ramala, Kronas Elernin, to

attack and take Kuseme. He invested Kuseme and left a small force to maintain the

seige. After a few months of countermarching, the Ramala Legion and the Kandian

army fnally met outside of Eidru. The Kandian force was routed and Eidru Keep

taken. Before hostilities could resume, Kanday and the Republic concluded a peace

treaty ceding Kuseme, Eidru and their territories to the Thardic Republic. Andasin IV

hadn’t wanted war to start with, and the Senate did not want to see Kronas cover

himself with glory. His supporters in the Senate were able to arrange for him to be

appointed both Marshal and Magistrate of the new Eidel Province.
