his eldest son to take
his life, a huge ceremony was held where thousands witnessed Unk
Tagra behead his father thus the eldest son took command of the
Empire. The new ruler soon began to feel worthless, this was
peacetime for a race who valued warriors above all else. Everywhere
he looked he was surrounded by reminders of his ancestor’s great
victory’s and campaigns. His Father had decorated the Palace in
huge statues of himself in full warring costumes and soon these
statues were a burden around his son’s neck like the heaviest of
weights.
    He loved his father
with adoring devotion but it was his time to lead now, his time to
earn the respect and fear of his Empire.
    Year 1546.
    The frustrations of Unk
Tagra become too much, he leads a huge army of Degrain warriors
north in the direction of Zachania. Once again the northwest was
caught by surprise. The Zachanian’s had devoted the past five
centuries into farming and rebuilding the land while the Degrain’s
fuelled by internal war had grown in battle and now with the feud
ended and the two mighty houses of Tagra and Harkanikar joined,
there strength was immense.
    Year 1547.
    The Zachanian people
were quick to react once they were engaged. The Zachanian’s led by
their King Tanash Von Kui Samui, a born leader with skills in
gladiatorial combat fought back the onslaught of the Degrain’s.
    The Zachanian Age of
Tanash had begun.

historic and savage battle.
    The Gods having
witnessed this epic battle decide once again to intervene, Apollo
is sent to the Zachanian’s and the God Anfinnis is sent to the
Degrain’s, both Empires end hostilities, the Gods remained on
Kratos to oversee the peace summits, the summits prove to be
difficult as at first the Degrain Empire refuse to give back land
they have conquered.
    Year 1629.
    ‘ The Summit Of Death
‘the first four days of this summit went well as the Degrain’s
finally began to listen to Apollo’s terms, but a hidden suspicion
lurked in the ranks of the Degrain General’s that their leaders
were going to give too much away. On the fifth day the resentful
Degrain conspirators decide to sabotage the talks, A Zachanian
General was slay in his tent while he slept, The Zachanian’s
demanded revenge, Apollo pleaded with King Tanash not to react and
the Degrain leaders promised that he would find the perpetrators
and have them punished. The next day was a very tense affair but
finally King Tanash put his anger to one side and decided to
continue talks in the hope of finding a peace. The conspiring
Degrain Generals were now feeling even more resentful as the plan

into entering a Degrainian tent once inside Lord Tagra was killed
and Apollo’s mortal body was beheaded, the Degrain’s then planted
Zachanian swords around the bodies.
