After the [[Battle of the Whispering Plain]] in late 11 AR, Raedan's host rapidly approached the besieged walls of Narré. By that time, those that remained of the rebellion had rallied behind the prince Delques, who sought to intercept the reinforcements dispatched by the High Priest by sea. Sensing a great force on the water from the eastern isles, the reinforcements disembarked west of the city and prepared to march by land, when they came across Delques and the drones of the arch necromancer of the east, committing the ill-prepared to immediate battle. But nonetheless, these forces held strong and were not routed, but 190 men fell in the defense, leaving this force well spent. Delques fell back to the city, but some time after, upon hearing of the approach of Raedan being imminent, he was betrayed by some of his own men, including a man from the House of Galain, who possibly desired to become steward in Narré in exchange. As a result, the siege would collapse soon after... | After the [[Battle of the Whispering Plain]] in late 11 AR, Raedan's host rapidly approached the besieged walls of Narré.

Elsewhere, an expedition sent by sea in the direction of the eastern isles was ambushed in harsh waters, conjured up by the forces of [[Kuolminas]], and his dread pirate fleet devastated the alliance forces. Retiring toward the west, the Arlian force concluded it would take a great investment at sea to prepare enough ships, and enough divination, to pierce the veil produced by the necromancer. | Elsewhere, an expedition sent by sea in the direction of the eastern isles was ambushed in harsh waters, conjured up by the forces of [[Kuolminas]], and his dread pirate fleet devastated the alliance forces.

...it seemed the case that the rebellion was ended upon the news that the rebel leader had been imprisoned and would promptly be turned over, and the Arlian alliance converged in Narré freely. However, in the time of celebration there continued to be machinations of a sinister plot already initiated, which could not be easily undone... | |||
It became clear that Thaecob's mental faculties had declined irreparably, and several among his court rose to high prominence for their joining of the Arlian cause. Among them was the Patriarch of Galain, who expected the title of steward, and another was Narain who joined the high council, for his administrative prowess had supposedly saved the city from starvation. In his old age, Thaecob had signed away much authority and had made concessions to the occupiers which would go into effect upon his death. | |||
...then, in the hour of celebration, when all in the city were distracted with feast, it was discovered that the temple had been burglarised, and the golden Star of Alrianmhar had disappeared into the night, along with other idols, which was a great symbolic blow to the Arlians... | |||
