The Wedding Gift Alliance

Five years prior to the start of the campaign, a series of events rewrote the map of the continent. King Pierre III of Dessit sent his only child to Kedra in the hopes that one of the three younger princes might be a suitable husband. Instead of choosing one of the lesser sons, Princess Rosamierta fell head over heels for Crown Prince Berid. This led to an alliance which will eventually see the kingdoms of Kedra and Dessit merging into a single greater kingdom.

At the wedding of Berid and Rosamierta, Queen Media of The Ta-Ray Federation appeared in person. As her gift to the newlyweds, she brought news that the war bands of the tribes of the north were preparing to expand south, and an offer of an alliance against them. This alliance allowed Kedra (with the help of Dessit) to mount an unprecedented defense against the war bands as the Ta-Ray were able do terrible damage on the eastern flank. As a result of the horrible losses, The Fell Council declared that the leaders of the war bands had offended their dark deities. This caused massive mutinies ending in the deaths of almost every general, and turned the invasion of the south into a rout. Between Kedra and the Ta-Ray, over 200,000 square miles of the wild lands are now being reclaimed.

At the close of this campaign, an agreement between Kedra and the Federation established the borders of each new territory. Kedra's northern border is now marked by the Feymist River. Three forts have been established to hold this border and to facilitate the civilization of the reclaimed lands.

The three forts from west to east are Fort Mirkwood, Fort Vickery, and Fort Caison.
