Conquering of Fydoria

The Conquering of Fydoria was an engagement in Azura's Invasion of The Five Kingdoms in which Empress Azura and her army took control of the Kingdom of Fydoria.

Prelude
Val Greaves and Raydan Lykel go to Fydoria, where they meet King Tevan (if he's alive) and/or his sister Aurynn. They discuss the strength of the Iron Empire and the impending invasion. Raydan explains that Fydoria's coastline will have to be fortified, since Azura will have to go through either Fydoria or Abanthus to get to the other kingdoms, and Fydoria is unfortunately a much easier target than Luther's stronghold.

Worse, according to Aurynn, most of Fydoria's best troops were lost in the war with Luther, and although Fydoria has been rebuilding their military, the new recruits are mostly untrained aristocrats and artisans. Raydan and Val then explain that the Iron Empire's strength doesn't just come from superior numbers, telling Tevan and/or Aurynn how the empress can shoot lightning bolts from her hands, and how they witnessed her power firsthand.

While Val agrees to help train the new recruits, Raydan goes with Aurynn to the Great Library of Ennan to search for ways to defeat Azura. They eventually find a book about anti-magic, as well as a mysterious amulet, which you can choose to take in a premium choice. Just as they meet Val outside the library, a soldier reports warships approaching.

The Attack
Aurynn and Raydan hear sounds of fighting, and soon Azura and her army reach the palace. Tevan is forced to surrender while Jorrin holds Aurynn captive. Val, having been pushed into the palace fountain by Raydan, knocks out a nearby enemy soldier and disguises as him. She manages to sneak into the dungeons and free the Stormholt soldiers there. Then she, Raydan, and Aurynn escape to the library, where she manages to crush some enemies with a bookcase.

Next, Val spots some of the Fydorian soldiers she trained hiding in an aisle because they don't feel confident due to their lack of training. Aurynn adds that Fydorians aren't known for their battle prowess, but Val insists they can fight back. She manages to convince them with a little encouragement, and they manage to drive the enemies out of the library. However, just as Val, Aurynn and Raydan step out of the library, Azura and Jorrin Kal intercept them, with Jorrin holding Aurynn at blade point. The player has the option to rescue her.

Aftermath
Fydoria is under Azura's command. In order to get himself in a position to spy on Azura and hopefully find information that will help them win the war against her, Raydan attacks Val, knowing she can take the attack even though he is not sure if she will forgive him later. He is successful in infiltrating Azura's forces and leaves with her when she leaves Fydoria.
