Follow-up event on [[Event:Dark Preparations]], wherein each of the 4 nations was attacked by local rebels armed with Marauder weapons. Each invading army had a special trick up their sleeve.

Fyros: The first attack was on the city of [[Pyr]]. Pyr ofcourse is built like a fortress and has withstood many invasions already. The invaders thus had a trick to get in: Some unknown magic that rendered them all invulnerable but still allowed them to attack. This allowed them to easily breach the gates and enter the city. But then, just like normal invulnerability or protection auras, it wore off after some time, allowing a small group of defenders to push through the army and kill their commanders, after which the invaders retreated.

Zoraï: The second attack was on the city of [[Zora]]. Zora being a much more open city, the invaders didn't need to re-use their Pyr trick to get in, as they swarmed into the city just as easily without it. Their strategy this time was to position their army between the Kami and Karavan altars, so as to split the arriving defenders into two and preventing them from combining into a single army. Meanwhile they kept their leader in the back so he couldn't be taken out easily like in Pyr. It only very slowly that the two forces of defenders whittled the invading army down.

Matis: The third attack was on the city of [[Yrkanis]]. At least, that's what everybody expected. Yrkanis was also a very open city and easy enough to invade, and open enough that the strategy used in Zora would not work here. So as the army of defenders was already waiting in Yrkanis, the invading army moved around and attacked [[Avalae]], the Matis town furthest from Yrkanis, by surprise. By the time word reached the defenders in Yrkanis and they had run all the way to Avalae, the invaders had already killed every last inhabitant of the town.

Tryker: The final attack was on every city in [[Liberty Lake]]. The Tryker cities are floating platforms with few land bridges, and so perhaps even more difficult to invade than Pyr. But the invaders shocked the defenders by revealing that they had perfected the art of sea battle and ambitious assault. They attacked all 3 outlying villages at once, forcing the defenders to focus on one at a time. Crystabell was immediately secured, but half of Avendale had been slaughtered before the defenders arrived, and Windermeer's population was completely killed. The final attack on Fairhaven however was repelled before the invaders could enter the city.

 The first attack was on the city of [[Pyr]]. Pyr is built like a fortress and it's gates have withstood many invasions already. The Coalition of Flames invaders thus had a trick to get past the gates: Some unknown magic that rendered them all invulnerable while still allowing them to attack. This allowed them to easily breach the gates and storm into the city, as the defenders could do nothing but run before their onslaught. But then, just like any invulnerability or protection aura, their power wore off after some time, allowing a small group of defenders to push through the army and overwhelm it's commanders.

The defenders only managed to beat the invasion back by slowly and painstakingly whittling the invaders down until both forces of defenders managed to combine. After that it was over quickly.

 The third attack was on the city of [[Yrkanis]]. At least, that's what everybody expected. Yrkanis was also a very open city and easy enough to storm, and in fact open enough that the strategy used in Zora would not work here as there were no corridors to blockade. So as the army of defenders was already waiting in Yrkanis, the Council of Dissent army moved around and instead attacked [[Avalae]], the Matis town furthest from Yrkanis, by surprise. By the time word of the attack had reached the defenders in Yrkanis and they had run all the way to Avalae, the invaders had already killed every last inhabitant. The defenders managed to destroy the invading army in Avalae before they could do any more damage, but it was too late for the town.

The invaders' plan to attack [[Fairhaven]] while the defenders were swimming between towns failed, however, as their force was spotted in time for the defenders to return to Fairhaven and repel the attack before any invaders could enter the city.
