Miscellaneous

Bonding War

• 1904 – Brof Dourragh, a former Monk-Faithful of the Church of the Supreme One in Marbeis, Murrnainn Nation, gathers a large army of disenchanted, disenfranchised Faithful with a distinctly populist bent, intent on toppling corrupt governments and installing religious Faithful with a great sense of justice and personal freedom. Over the course of the campaign, he calls this movement the One Nation movement and Unification movement, and his son would also call it Bonding . It will be remembered as the Bonding War.
• 1906 – On news of the corruption and stagnation of Aureus, Brof Dourragh's army travels from Murrnainn Nation to Ghirr Nation, overpowering the weak government of Griv Reighainn in Aureus and declaring the fortified city to be his capital.

• 1911 – From his stone perch in Aureus, Brof finishes conquering the last of Ghirr Nation and sends armies to the severely independent Albhainnians to the northwest, and Conmarra Nation to the southwest, and sends Jik Gaerrg's armada up towards the swarthy Suibnnians to the far northwest.
• 1913 – Jik’s armada soundly defeats Suibnne via a more than year-long bombardment campaign, but Brof's ground forces are decisively repelled from Albhainn Nation. Brof pulls the soldiers from the Albhainn fight to focus on the Rickirriek riders of Conmarra Nation.
• 1915 – After four long, bloody years of war, Conmarra Nation finally surrenders and agrees to join Brof’s burgeoning movement.
• 1916 – Brof and a much larger armada led by Jik Gaerrg sail for the northeastern continent, intent on quickly attaining the Holy Land.
• 1918 – Chiarrain falls to Jik’s armada, but Jik is killed by a Ciorrc in an early conflict.
• 1919 – The city of Dirus, and eventually, Magnnais proper, quickly fall under Brof’s rule as the population turns agains their rulers.
• 1924 – Midhirrians manage to hold out against Brof for almost five years, utilizing guerilla tactics, satai stampedes and many high mountains to hide out then attack with overwhelming force when most effective. But in 1924, leaders of each of the four major Midhirrian factions were discovered and challenged to duels for the fate of each of their armies. In the end, Midhirr professes solidarity with the One Nation movement.
• 1926 – Brof spends two years building infrastructure on the northeastern continent, fortifying the Holy Circle in Dirus and establishing the backbone for strong, pious, uncorrupt leadership before sailing home in 1926.
• 1927 – Brof's son, Wurr, has been de-facto ruler of Aureus for more than three years before Brof returns home and officially gives him dominion over the southern half of the western continent. He spends three years teaching his son the art of war, intending him to lead an armada against the southeast continent.
• 1930 – Brof gathers his army once more and goes to finish the last holdout of the western continent, Albhainn Nation. In the Battle of Lotis, Albhainnian defenders outmaneuver Brof’s forces into fighting with a three hundred foot drop at their backs, and during this conflict, Brof falls off the cliff to his death. Upon hearing of his father’s death, Wurr promises Brof's followers that he will continue on as his father wished. He leaves Aureus to his older brother, Yit, and rallies his father’s army and armadas to conquer the southeastern continent.
• 1931 – Wurr’s forces quickly capture Tuathaill Nation and establish a southeastern capital in the port city of Bealsruth.
• 1932 – Nuallainn Nation tribal chiefs agree to surrender to Bonding forces without fighting in exchange for assurances that they can keep their tribal traditions.
• 1933 – Ghasa Nation tries to negotiate a deal similar to Nuallainn’s, then ambushes Bonding forces during the cease-fire, causing heavy casualties. Wurr famously prays for Ghasa alone for twenty-one days, then burns Ghasa’s cities until the Nation surrenders without terms. He and his forces spend several years painstakingly rebuilding much of what was burnt before they set sail for Cuirrc Nation in 1937.
• 1937 – Wurr negotiates for the quick surrender of Cuirrc Nation with the Reighainn leaders in Mesomel, but he’s forced to once again resort to scorch tactics as the citizens of Eiru disagreed with Mesomel’s decision and went to war.

• 1938 – Wurr summons troops from all of the eleven Nations he controls, and makes all-out war with the Albhainnians. The day the Albhainnians surrendered, November 16th, Wurr designated Bonding Day.
