Assimilation Wars

The wars fought between the Empire and the other nations of Lyrai to form a united world. Fought between 36K.R. and 64K.R.

The First War
The first of the Assimilation Wars was between Karyrdan and the nation of Byndra, which is part of the modern day Karyrdan Province. The war started when a group of Byndra'um raiders began attacking the borders of Karyrdan. Karcaceyl Karyrdan, the first Lyrarekaceyl and founder of the Empire, ordered the Imperial Army into action, posting them in the borderlands between Karyrdan and Byndra. Several new forts were constructed during this time, such as Lalunstel and Cladai.

Two pura'i later, the Imperial Army was ordered into Byndra, under the command of Yorotin'i Iyrol Perstemision, Weyl Alristalo, Terythu Umichalum, and Sebost Nerecl. The four would serve major parts later in the Wars, too. In five pura'i, the armies of Karyrdan had surrounded the capitol of Byndra, Lareyn. The Byndra'umi, despite being fiercely trained, were at a disadvantage in numbers and equipment. This was because of Karyrdan's large size and the Kydalan'i found by Karcaceyl Karyrdan.

Karcaceyl Karyrdan himself decided to take part in the Battle of Lareyn. The Lord of Byndra at the time was Esemen Velsko. Karcaceyl was accompanied by his four Yorotin'i into the city when the gates broke. Within a kra of the gates braking, most of Lareyn was under Imperial control, but the Byndra'umi had dug in and were almost impossible to force out of some places. On the fourth kra of battle, a team of Byndra'um soldiers infiltrated the Imperial camp and shot Karcaceyl with a telymsto bolt through his left lung. According to reports found, he died within one syra, drowned by his own blood. His wife, Iryarune Syrtanyr, took over control of the Empire.

The death of Karcaceyl did little else than increase the fervor with which the Imperials fought. After another five kra'i, the battle ended in an Imperial victory. Karcaceyl's corpse was taken back to Karacln and buried in the Imperial Saryodes. The first Yornkaceyl to live and the first to die. Esemen and his generals Cerno Clecloka, Danste Invulym, Kesh Cherdim, Anada Tylasthu, and Bun Lesthoti were forced to swear yalroisen to the Empire. They all served later during the other Assimilation Wars.
