Battle of a Fortnight's Length (110 BCY)

Military: Battle

Battle of a Fortnight's Length. Kingdom of Aerdy defeats Nyrond Cavalry (Conquering Nyrond). From this point forward, Aerdy is known as the Great Kingdom.

The last of the major Oeridian kingdoms to fall to old Aerdy, Nyrond’s defeat at the Battle of a Fortnight’s Length, in 535 OR (–110 CY), signified the ultimate supremacy of Aerdy.

Nyrond’s strategic importance to the Great Kingdom did little to encourage just treatment at the hands of the Aerdi. The ruling house of the land was made subservient to the eastern House Rax, which ruled the territory from an impressive series of castles and fortresses, centered with the imposing palace at Rel Mord.

Though not as vile or ruthless as some of their counterparts to the east, the Rax nobles exhibited insufferable arrogance. When eventually that house gained the Malachite Throne in Rauxes, Nyrond became ever more important to the affairs of the overking.
