| - The War of the Four (Reyshi: þier Gutgrieg, "the Goodwar," Vrankish: Ile Kerra dus Krourõs, old Lobott: djie Gjar ov djie Var, CC: 26/4/4,224 at the Farrosday Riots - CC: 21/9/4,241 at the Battle of Vraenckorr) was a war fought primarily between the Reyshi Kingdom, and the Kingdom of the Jawcrown. These two, as well as the two Jawcrown vassal states of Irri, and Laandan, make up the four in the name "War of the Four." The war was at a stalemate until Vayess of the Walls, the legendary heroine of Reynlenn, and of the Blood Children, became involved, ending the war quickly at the Battle of Vraenckorr. Shortly thereafter, Reynlenn broke up Jawcrown, Irrinisian, and Laandanisian cities, causing a mass displacement. People from the cities of Vraenckorr, and the City of Tan Toniks quickly organized a rebellion, which for twenty-four hard years was fought, until the day of the Storm of Storms, when they were finally able to break the Reyshi and take back their homeland, returning a Master to his seat. The people of the city of Laandan were forced out on the so-called Long Trek, most of them dying on the way, or eventually settling in Rammaentholk Vraenckorr. Millions of displaced peoples eventually became such groups as the Kobeyermen, the Sefenlander Slaves, the Heurish, the Kinglander Blood Children, and the Irrinisians of rural Sayerthenn. A baby boy named Laand, who would grow up to become Landeles the God-From-the-Lightning, and the Southern Sage of that Earth, was born on the last day of the War of the Four. He is the last Laandanisian, named after his hometown. Neither of his parents survived the Long Trek, but having eternal youth, he did, and was raised in Rammaentholk Vraenckorr. On the 24th anniversary of the Battle of Vraenckorr, he was to assassinate Vayess of the Walls, who won the Battle of Vraenckorr for Reynlenn. He was unable to do this, and instead had sex with her, causing the Storm of Storms when he ejaculated in her. Her naked corpse was frozen as a screaming statue. Vayess of the Walls (born Weiß, Reyshi: "valiant woman," and called Weiß won þien Gaulen in Reyshi) was born the day of the Farrosday Riots, exactly 976 years before the birth of Hockrott the Hornman. Her father, Benro ("son of Rocherr," Rocherr from Irrinisian rol cher, "Ruler's Chair" i.e. throne, Rol from rolof, "wolf"), later called the Burnt, and the Brave, was a Red Alchemist. He committed terrible crimes against humanity, and unleashed an abomination he called the Hag upon Vraenckorr on a visit there. The Hag was an inhuman creature, a powerful psychic, which drove men to madness. Thousands died, and Benro was publicly executed that night, at the end of the Farrosday Riots (Vrankish: ilus Albarõtõs Farrõs or ilus Albarõtõs Fearõs). When news reached the Reyshi that one of their own had been killed, and blamed for the riots, they declared war. This would be a hard, but assured, victory for the Reyshi. Then the Kingdom called on its two vassal states, and the war became about the Kingdom of the Jawcrown conquering Reynlenn. For many years the war was fought, with its three most major battles, according to the Reyshi being the Battle of Great Goats, the Battle for Vrankfort, and the Assault on Agrað Moor. The battles were all named retroactively to make the Reyshi look good. Great goats were used to surprise the Vraenckorrians on the Goat Road. At Vrankfort, 1,000 Reyshimen protected Vrankfort Tower from 300,000 Vranckorrian soldiers for the so-called Nine Blood-Hours. At the time, that was the single largest army that had ever existed; larger than every army that Aye the Queen ever controlled put together. Yet, over 80,000 Vraenckorrians died, and still 400 Reyshimen protected the castle for nine hours before 60,000 Reyshi soldiers arrived as reinforcements. Weary, the Vranckorrians fled in droves, leaving behind two roughly equally sized forces. Vrankfort was saved from destruction, and the Vranckorrians suffered a humiliating defeat. Agrað Moor (from Vrankish: A Grað Móõr, "To More/Better Grace") was a fishing village upstream of of the River Korõs. It was finded by worshippers of the nameless gods, calling themselves the Grace Cultists. Their shaman, a boy named Grayson (from Graçono "Son of Grace"), the son of one of two Sealhags who had visited Vraenckorr a few years prior, had a vision. In it he saw the Hag becoming as one with Vayess, and giving her untold powers. A lone spy for Reynlenn informed the Reyshi of it. The House of Doralth already had Vayess, but if information about her got out, it is possible the Jawcrown could prepare. They mobilized on the village, sending out 20,000 Reyshi, which were themselves followed by 15,000 Vraenckorrians, and 3,000 Irrinisians. Nearly everyone died; these were all battle-hardened men, who were willing to die for their cities, and were willing to kill to protect themselves. At the end of it all, Grayson survived, in a sea of corpses. Another vision came, this time of the Storm of Storms, and the untold death and destruction it would cause. He saw a horse in the distance; a Vraenckorrian rider. In reality, it was Vayess of the Walls. He began to approach her, but saw soon enough saw that it was a disguise. He began running, and tried to shout to her a warning of her death, the death of millions. He tried to warn her about the god who was born the very next day. Vayess didn't speak Vranckorrian. Vayess ran him down. In stories, Grayson is depicted as an evil old man, not as the young boy that he was, innocent, afraid, but still willing to try to save lives.
