Conquering of Fydoria

The Conquering of Fydoria is 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 and Raydan go to Fydoria, where they meet King Tevan (if he's alive) and 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 are lost in the war with Luther, and although they have been recruiting, the new recruits are mostly aristocrats and artisans with no military training. 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 (which she has a hard time doing), 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 seeing lots of warships approaching.

The Attack
Then, sounds of fighting can be heard, 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. However, just as they step out of the library, Azura and Jorrin 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.
