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.
