Spring '93 - On the Birthday of Duke of Aquila, the Marquisa of Bowcourt placed new regiment of heavy curassiers on Innsburg border. - Duchy of Aladar objects to this and supports Innsburgian independance. 5th Heat '794 - Ulric, son of Duke Frederick of Aquila and Marquise Dulciena of Bowcourt crowned as the new King of the Western Kingdoms . Shortly after that Innsburg was invaded by the Aquilian High Guard. 18th Heat - Duke of Aladar reported dead, by poisoning, along with at leat a hundred other nobles and high officers in the Ducal Castle at Novalar during the Mid Summer Feast. 28th Breeze - Bishop of Ranke assasinated. Fruit '94 - Novalar and and Drakenburg Ciot, respective capitals of Alidar and Drakenburg under siege.

Barrestskyne now city of undead Harvest '95 - Novalar recaptured. Frost '95 - War declared over. Aquailain forces retake Novalar. Novalar in ruins. Barretskyne cleansed by church knights. Peace Agreement: 1 - The new border between the two Duchies is where hostilities ceased. Lands on old Aladar which were taken by Aquila now belong to Aquila. 2 - The Duke of Aquila's son is recognised by Aladar as the King of the Western Kingdoms and Lord over the Duchy of Aladar. 3 - Aladarian forces to be free of scutage and military service for 2 years. Aladar released from any obligation to pay reparations. 4 - All Aldarian county lands to be split in half with the control of half being subinfeuded to Aqualians with an equal portion of land in Aquila subinfeuded in reverse.

You may wish to include that the war was predicted by the normal astronomical means (Ie astronomical sums of money were exchanged for information) and the normal noble means (IE everyone expected carnage when, at his wedding feast, Duke of Aquila presented a wedding gift to his lovely bride (yes I do mean the Marchioness, that is just a scurrilous rumour), to whit, the County of Innsburg. Afterall, even the dimmest of lordlings recognised that as Innsburg wasn't technically inside the duchy of Aquila at the time, something had to change for the gift to occur. cheers Ian -----Original Message----- From: Keith Smith To: dq@dq.sf.org.nz Date: Friday, 11 May 2001 09:12 Subject: Re: [dq] Alusian history > >>try the seagate times back issues... >> >>http://dq.sf.org.nz/library/ > >Good idea but many of the relevant issues haven't been scanned in yet.

Bleyse was involved in Drakenburg's defense while Baron Blitzkrieg was part of the the Eltradorian forces that lifted the siege there. Blitzkrieg was also involved in the retaking of Novellar later on. >And in a similiar vein, was Carzala and the Guild on the side of Aladar or >Aquila? Officically both would have been neutral. Unofficially I'm not sure. Certainly quite a few were fighting for Aladar but I suspect the Aquilans also employed Guild parties. Keith. -- to unsubscribe notify mailto:dq-request@dq.sf.org.nz --
