The war between Frontier and Ruthiana had been dragging on for nearly a year. Both sides had fought countless battles, yet neither had managed to overpower the other. The strength of their armies was evenly matched, and the tide of war shifted back and forth with no end in sight.

Salaman the Great. After conquering them through sheer might and unmatched strategy, Salaman declared himself Emperor and founded Aredentia.
