Tubori (History)

The Lord Paramount of Tubor, Pairin Talshar, knew the Lithmorrans were going to attack his mainland cities once he heard of King Dav's Declarations. When it came time to decide what to do, the Court was drawn in half. The Lords of the Mainland, as they were called, particularly the Duke Jaren of Vandago, opposed fighting the soon to be hostile neighbors. The Duke Jaren claimed his lands could not hold out against King Dav and his army, but the Paramount and the Lords of the Isle said otherwise. This rift caused a break in the Kingdom of Tubor, and soon Duke Jaren was sipping from the Lower Springs, and his Dukedom of Vandago (along with the other mainland cities) had fallen graciously into King Dav's hands without the loss of a single knight.

As a peculiar side note, Vandago was the only preexisting kingdom conquered during the Davite Consolidation which kept its previous royal line. Duke Jaren formally swore faith and allegiance to King Dav in Vandago Square on the day of his countries surrender, and his country became a vassal of Lithmore.

The Paramount and the Lords of the Isle would not give in so easily as did the Duke Jaren. It would take the King several long years of fighting in a series of campaigns, later called The Wars of the Isle, to take the rest of the Tubori lands.

The Wars of the Isle were actually a two-part campaign, the first of which was run by Duke Jaren. To him fell the task of conquering the remaining Tubori lands on the mainland, which he did with gusto. The Duke proved as able a commander for the King as he would have been for Tubori, and soon all of Tubor's mainland holdings were under the flying golden chalice of Lithmore's flag.
