In 730 ACC, the Azure Paladin, founder and leader of the nascent Republic of Frada, marched his forces into Eshar-Thi’s territory. The campaign was not prolonged. The union nation lacked the standing army needed to repel a disciplined military force built for exactly this kind of action.
Frada framed the conquest as an annexation. Eshar-Thi’s council was dissolved and Fradan administrative authority was installed over both settlements. The territory gave Frada reach toward the southern coast.
The Crimson Knight visited him again that year and asked him to stop. The Azure Paladin did not stop.
