Military action
In the year 243, a messenger came from the temple of Nirvorn with a request for an audience with the High Quorum, the gathering of influential clans and families from across the empire which governed the Republic in the names of significant landholders, and with a stipulation that they had a message from the deity themself. Grave and uncertain the Grand Cleric of Nirvorn entered the hall and delivered the message. A cryptic incomplete musing: “Thus will come a time to pass…” Stricken by the ominous message the High Quorum debated for nearly a month before deciding they would attack Iyanus itself and end the reign of their hated foes. Armies marched and soon a siege was at the very gate of the capital of the empire but when the final conflict arrived, the walls of the city, blessed by priests of Nirvorn turned back the noble armies of Daragon. Marching home in shame and broken by the defeat, Daragon feared that they had disappointed their god and now were doomed by prophecy.
