Invasion of Hesia

Introduction
The Hesia Campaign was a military campaign organised by the House of Astilor from the Valreach-Simulami Empire alongside various allies including The Blitzen Mafia. The result of the campaign was a total re-annexation of the island by the Valreach-Simulami Empire with the Free City being passed to the House of Astilor in fief, as a reward for their bravery, commitment, effectiveness and efficiency in coordinating the war effort. The campaign was short in its military engagement but its preparation was longer than anticipated and required over a year of planning to ensure the invasion was a success and no prolonged besiegement of the island would be needed.

The following extracts is taken from “The Hesia Campaign Volume I” written by Charles Astilor as a record of the events taken from eye-witnesses and his own experiences:
