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. |
