The War of the Fallen Ash

This war began a few months after Astrea Immortas was born. Since it was the fight for her life it was named after her. Both the King Lynam and Duke Desperaux perished in this war.

How it began
When the Princess was born, the King and Queen went to great lengths to hide her existence, only revealing their child and only heir to a select few. But they were betrayed, and Desperaux Immortas knew of the child's birth. He gathered an army of 3,000 dark vampires, 5,000 demons, 6,000 dark angels and 10,000+ others to kidnap her, killing anyone in their way, with the promise that the power gained from the Princess' sacrifice would be shared amongst all who helped.

The War
The battle was short yet very bloody and cruel, Desperaux's army worked from the outside making their way in. Numbers of lives dropped like flies on both sides, brother against brother, friends against friends. Finally Desperaux reached Lyman, and asked where the Princess was. Lyman pretended to play dumb, saying he didn't have a daughter. His patience growing thin, Desperaux stabbed Lyman and able to fight him a bit but unable to finish him off, he cast a spell that sent Desperaux into eternal slumber. The Princess remained untouched the whole time.



Aftermath
With the pain of losing her husband so early, Nymphandora swore to take care of her child and her people. She had lost 20,000 of her soldiers and Desperaux had lost 70,000 of his where it all amounted to nothing. For the next 6 years and 3 months, peace had settled in.
