War of the Wolves

The civil war ignited by Warlord Yeshin aren dar Orenar of Oren-yaro and Warlord Lushai aren dar Baraji of Bara as a direct response to the late Dragonlord Rysaran's rule, which ended with the release of a dragon-like creature that razed both cities of Oren-yaro and the capital of Shirrokaru.

Warlord Yeshin, who lost all his sons to Rysaran's dragon, is often credited for this war. Oren-yaro holds the largest army in Jin-Sayeng, while Warlord Lushai is simply a known opportunist.

At the onset of the war, both of Rysaran's eldest sisters Ran and Roa were killed, along with the rest of the Ikessar's councils in Shirrokaru (including the acting regent, Ryabei aron dar Ikessar). Yeshin's rise to power would have gone uncontested if not for the escape of the youngest daughter, Ryia. She partners with her father's old adviser, Ichi rok Sagar, and Sume alon gar Kaggawa. Both of her advisers were able to put together allies for her, giving her enough power to challenge Yeshin.

The war grew bloodier as it went on, lasting a good five years. The history notes suggest that by the end, both Ryia and Yeshin's resources were taxed to the limit. Though each were convinced they were close to winning, they eventually agreed to an alliance suggested by Sume Kaggawa, in which both Yeshin's daughter Talyien and Ryia's son Rayyel would marry and act as joint rulers of Jin-Sayeng. The betrothal marked the end of the war. Yeshin retreated to Oren-yaro, while Ryia returned to her city in the mountains.
