General Events

In support of their ancient allies among the dwarves of the Kingdom of Derlos beneath the Cambrecian Mountains, the Freecity of Neptaris declares war on the young Zetian Empire, initiating what they would call the First Cambrecian War.

The Saffron Scourge spreads throughout southern Duria and into parts of Imperial Simmeria, killing about 25% of the population in affected regions. Among those taken by the Scourge include Legate Cyricus Isidorus of House Livius, commander of the Zetian Legion III Cambrecia during the First Cambrecian War and the Cambrecian King Tarnos III. The death of the latter sparked sixteen years of internecine warfare in Cambrecia referred to as the Dravosid Kinstrife.

After a brief naval blockade and siege, the Freecity of Neptaris is captured by Zetian Imperial forces, concluding the First Cambrecian War. The Empire would come to occupy the city for much of the subsequent two centuries, though never easily.
