A fight for the survival of the northern kingdoms against the increasingly radicalized and violent religion of the Great Advancement currently in power pulled the strings through the Theocratic Diocese of Alpia. The final confrontation of this conflict occurred with a great assault of the clockwork mechanical armies of the Cultus Mechanicus led by the arcane tech-priests holding the magic in place. Defending the Northern Kingdoms was an allied force of Alpian Knights and Amera Redeemers, Free states mercenaries/guild guards, and Ruskan infantry. The respective armies were led by Quartermaster Cedric on the Avoronian front, General Ivakin on the ruskan front, and many guild bounty hunters conscripted to defend the built ramparts of a great wall constructed to defend Ruska and the surrounding kingdoms from Alpias Aggression. The battle was ended in a pyrrhic victory with nearly all of the involved forces being decimated besides the ambushing Stormcloak dwarves from Stormpeak led by Thorgrim Ironfist. With the party infiltrating the holy city of zachara and killing Virion in an intense duel, the mechanical abominations of Alpia were finally defeated with the countryside and cities of Alpia turned to rubble and ruin.
