Invasion of Ankor (by Izaroth)

= The Attack on Seaward = As Izaroth saw that Ardor was growing rapidly due to the successes of Seaward (Ankor) in the South, they knew that they had to take it out to remain a foothold if they wanted to remain a major power. With a giant fleet, they attacked the city of Seaward (aka the first battle of Seaward), which wouldn’t prove to difficult to take over as Ardorian troops where spread over the whole country what was really large at this time. Izaroth saw the struggle of Ardors mobilization to expand even more.

When the expansion came to a hold and fighting got into a stalemate, Izaroth chose to use fear to disable the Ardorian forces. They cursed animals and humans into dangerous creatures. they also let loose region-specific creatures of the Ile of Izaroth like the dragon.

= The end of the expansions = Eventually, the Expansion was called to a halt in the year (160). This moment in time Ardor had made an alliance with the elves of the east to fight of Izaroth (Areon would get a state, that had rich grounds to the east of Ankor, this is later known as the Gold Vale).

= The defeat of Izaroth = A combined Attack of Humans in the north and Elves who attacked from the east was able to push back the Izaroth forces to seaward. In the year (170) the second battle of Seaward was fought with extreme high casualties that hurts all nations, for many following years.
