The Northern Rebellion

The Northern Rebellion was an uprising against King Raelor Vayne led by Lord Dalar Daike six years into Raelor's reign.

Dalar's Declaration

 * 1) Dalar consults other Northern lords and makes the decision.
 * 2) Declares the Northlands as free like Ashos and then sends carrion crows all around.
 * 3) Other kingdoms swear fealty to Ashdrad after Raelor demands it, but the Eastlands loyally join Dalar due to an ancient understanding.

Raids on the North

 * 1) Men from Highden and Hearthome travel up the Iron Road and conduct raids on the Northlands.
 * 2) Fairbloom is sacked and pillaged.
 * 3) The statue at the Iron Crossing is torn down
 * 4) As soon as they here, Highgate dispatches forces to stop the raiders, who march down the Roost Road to the Orchard
 * 5) The Orchard is burned just as the raiders are caught in a pincer movement between the force of Highgate and combined force of Northstone and Redroost.
 * 6) All the raiders are slaughtered.

The Siege of Sadarly

 * 1) Raelor sends men from Kingsfell, Markmire and Sunhall up the Riverroad. They ford the River Red and sail across the Bloody Bay, setting up outside Sadarly.
 * 2) Trade to the North and Eastlands is cut off and forces landing North of Sadarly block the West Way by digging a massive ditch
 * 3) The ships form a blockade around Sadarly. The siege lasts a long time, and Northstone's attempts to break them free fail.

The Battle of the Iron Crossing

 * 1) Dalar Daike catches word that Raelor is coming up the Ramsroad with an army and panics. He calls his banners and heads south down the Ramsroad.
 * 2) Raelor goes out his way to avoid Highgate to keep his forces intact which the Northlanders do not expect.
 * 3) They then meet at the Battle of the Iron Crossing.
 * 4) Huge conflict, massive fight, but Raelor ends up winning. He captures Dalar.

The Treaty

 * 1) Raelor demands Dalar write a letter to all northern lords saying their rebellion has been crushed and that there will be no vengeance. Dalar agrees, wounded from the battle. Raelor promises to stop the Siege of Sadarly but will be garrisoning Northstone with some of his own men too. His son, Daron, will be taken as Raelor's ward. Dalar agrees.
 * 2) Shortly after, Dalar dies of his battle wounds and his son Daron takes up his position and returns to the Northlands, smart enough not to rebel again, even though the other lords want it. Ever since, he has remained loyal to the crown.
