Tegridian Wars

"The sun is going down, it does not mean that Lux is surrendering. She is letting Tenebris take over, and when his wrath is unleashed upon you. I would hope that your fake gods, has some power to protect you. Because you will need it."

- Orleborle The Tegridian War was a line of religious wars that was fought out between Tegridy and Zefrania. It took place from April 13th to April 20th 2022.

Prelude
The people within Zefrania had some cultural differences, light ones at that. There was a region which was purchased by Zefrania from Ardat called Tegridy, that followed the religion of The Witness of Mary and Berry Jane. This let to some strife, nothing which meant anything. Just some small fights here and there, some protests. The balance of religious power within Zefrania would somewhat rely on a fine balance. Tegridy was allowed to keep their religion as long as it was isolated in Tegridy from the rest of Zefrania, and Zefrania was allowed to keep its religion as long as it was not spread into Tegridian soil.

Eventually, this balance would collapse. The brother of Zedis Eydur the Zefranian Tenoch Jeremiah Eydur, had become obsessed with the god of Chaos Berry. This went on to the point where he himself was too weak to control his worship, Berry devoured and consumed his soul and mind, he had become evil in the eyes of many. Even staunch followers of his religion, he had become a tyrant.

Jeremiah's Death
After multiple months of this behavior continuing he came to Acodon to talk with Zedis. Zedis stood there flabergasted, that this lunatic had come to his town, just to yell at him. Jeremiah screamed at Zedis. Zedis asked him to please follow him calmly, and they went into the palace. They sat down, until Jeremiah out of seemingly nowhere would call Zedis' dog the F-Slur. This was too much for Zedis, being yelled at? Fine, but his dog being called a slur. Oh no! He drew his sword, and swung it at Jeremiah, Jeremiah dogded it, but seeing his dog being this sad he was filled with further rage and stormed at Jeremiah. Jeremiah was in shock his eyes widened as the sword flew through his stomach. Jeremiah collapsed to the floor, he pulled the sword out and remarked with a slight smile "Its and F-slur dog with an f-slur owner." Orleborle picked up the sword, until he realized what he had just done, a horrible act. He had just murdered his own brother.

Fronkybonky
After his death he would be re-incarnated into the soul of Frog Eydur, Zedis' adopted child and heir. She was also the vice mayor of Tegridy. Frog would come to Acodon one day, with a problem. When she tried to sleep, she would hear the echo of Junky's voice. Zedis knew what was up, and quickly ordered an exorcism. They went to the holy spring, and attempted the exorcism. Jeremiah suddenly took over and sprung at Zedis filled with rage, which was understandable considering he killed him. Zedis fought him off, and started yelling "THE POWER OF LUX COMPELLS THOUST TO THE VOID!" it did not work, and they went their separate ways.

Junky's Return
Eventually Junky would return, in a sacrifice in the name of Mary and Berry Jane (and Lux). As Frogmedic was starting the initial steps of the sacrifice, Orleborle would interupt her multiple times. This would displease Frog. Eventually Junky returned, as soon as he did, Orleborle looked at him. His eyes looking like they were ablaze, he rushed towards Junky pushing Frog out of his way and swung at Junky. He missed. After a short skirmish, he would leave.

Frog's Assassination
Orleborle eventually decided to head towards Tegridy to recruit Frogmedic. This would fail, just as Orleborle predicted. He killed Frogmedic in cold blood making this war more serious.

First Skirmish at Tegridy
Eventually, after threats were exchanged for multiple days, it would all amount to Orleborle raising an army and launching an attack on Tegridy. His army would overrun the Tegridian Militia, until reinforcements arrived. The battle was intense, arrows exchanged as the Tegridians retreated into the large walls. The Zefranians took cover, and started sending arrows back their way. It would end up in a counter barrage from the Zefranians as the Tegridians attempted a counter-attack. Many Tegridians would be killed in this counter attack, but the Zefranians were routed. It was considered somewhat of a draw, but in political and military gray terms it was considered a Zefranian defeat.

Second Skirmish at Tegridy
Not long after Orleborle had deviced a new strategy for attacking Tegridy. He knew the cababilities of his army and Tegridy's militia. He would launch an initial attack dividing his troops into smaller groups. Two of these groups would attack split the Tegridians who were one group into half. The two Zefranian groups taking on the stronger Tegridian one. This would mean the larger group was overwhelmed, most of this relied on the smaller Zefranian group's abilities to hold of the Tegridian one. They launched a second attack, this time Tegridy was more prepared. When they got over the hill, the sky was filled with arrows. The Zefranians got their shields and hid behind them. After this, they would initiate the attack. It would be a success. The remaining Tegridy Militia behind the walls stayed in there.

The Zefranians breached the walls, but found themselves pinned. They retreated and setup camp outside the walls. Where a tempoary cease fire was announced. This would leave the Zefranian occupied lands with a small garrison. Tegridians would attack, all Zefranians made a last stand. All of them would be slaughtered, but the Tegridians lost a lot of people.

Battle of Tegridy
Eventually, as the 4/20 festival was announced by Tegridy celebrating their gods, the Zefranians knew that the Tegridians guard would be down. They decided to attack in the middle of Junkybunky's speech to his people. The Tegridians were shocked when a distant sound of marching, wardrums and horses could be heard. Scouts were sent out, but due to the scouts being unprepared they were found and killed. The Zefranians advanced upon the Tegridian hill, as the unprepared Tegridians fled. The Milita were alerted and started fighting the Zefranian army they were slaughtered. Only leaving a small amount of Tegridians standing inside the walls. Lava was poured upon the Zefranian troops creating slight orgnization issues. The Tegridians was forced into negotiations with the Zefranians. They had to agree that Lux was the true and most powerful god, they agreed and hostilities were ceased.
