Salvre Kirrentai

The Salvre Kirrentai is a Soleannen crusade against that took place within the Third Escharian Empire, following Katia Bellator's massacring of Solitude and the eventual decision of leading a force to radicalize the area with Soleannen.

The cause
The origins of the conflict date bate to 9/23/2023, Volunt of House Bellator arrived to visit Oracle after going through a dream. This dream is vague in Soleannen thought and Oracle recounted it as such:

“Beneath the veil of ages, where shadows dance upon forgotten shores, a sacred object lies concealed, obscured by the ruins of yesteryears. Venture through the labyrinth of crumbling sandstone, where whispers of the lost weave their melancholic tales. Within the heart of the forsaken lighthouse, where the echoes of a bygone era resonate, seek the unseen, the relic of untold power. Amidst the remnants of the past, where time's grasp is frail, it awaits, patiently yearning for discovery. But heed the call of the Ascension Site, where stone circles stand as celestial conduits. There, at the threshold of the heavens, listen to the wind's ancient song, for it carries the key to unlock the secrets of the forgotten.

Let the waves of the sea, once home to the illustrious Soleanna, be your guiding symphony. As the salted air kisses your cheek, embrace the whispers of the lost city's demise, for within its turbulent depths lie clues to your destined prize.”

After telling Volunt, the Bellator vowed to find the meaning of this. He headed to Litoci, thinking of the clues that led there before. He recalled the passage in an old tome on the history of the Holy Tower of the Fire of Solaris that lay on the sea. Journeying there he found the ruins of the old lighthouse and found his way deep into its core. There he found the reliquary that housed the possible location of the ruins of the once great city of Soleanna. Many were called to go to this sacred reliquary, as it was found with many ancient artifacts inside. The faithful gathered in the Mother-church of the Soleannen faith, the Ekkir of Drakhasrei. While in prayer, however, a follower of the Luxite faith snuck into the church and stole the sacred item. When he was caught, he killed many of the followers there, despite them not having any weapons or armor. Once the waters of the sacred pool ran red with the blood of Niedene, the Ekeris’s blood ran hot with the embers of Ivoras. He called for those of the Soleannen faith to raise the army and ready the fleet against the Luxites.

As the Soleannen militias gathered in the Ekkir, the Luxites prayed in their secret tunnels. The militia banded together and explored the subterranean labyrinth cave complex and stumbled upon an ancient tunnel deep below which led far from the city. Within it, they found an acolyte praying to the goddess Lux. He was taken away and immediately questioned by authorities of his involvement. Refusing to give his name and much information, the heretic spoke only in defiance until finally admitting at the end that he showed the thief into the city.

Once Oracle had this piece of knowledge, he ordered the Luxite to be burned on a pyre while the citizens placed a veiled screen over the Great Golden Statue as it stood for peace, whereas the bloodshed would surely be opposing of it. This served as a warning to those who wished to do harm to the faithful, and anyone else who would defile the sanctity of the Soleannen sites.

Following this was a battle through the Luxite lands to retrieve the artifact.
