Last day! Last day!

The Anankonite War, also known as The Valla Conflict, was a two year long military engagement fought between the Silent Dragon, Anankos, and the United Forces under the future King Corrin I Isauros and his wife, Azura.

Whilst the pair were originally written off as liars and time-wasters by both Hoshido and Nohr at best, and traitors to both nations at worst, it was only with the assistance of the Knight's Gunter and Silas, the ninja, Kaze, and the Ice Tribal, Felicia.

Eventually however, the Crown Princes of both Hoshido and Nohr, Moramachi Ryoma and Alexander von Krakenburg, threw their backing behind Corrin I. Whilst there was some grumbling from their forces, an alliance, shaky to start, began between the nations. Five royal marriages also resulted from this conflict. Moramachi Ryoma married Camilla von Krakenburg. Moramachi Takumi married Elise von Krakenburg. Alexander von Krakenburg married Moramachi Sakura. Leonhardt von Krakenburg married Moramachi Hinoka.

The United Forces marched on Valla, which was located at the bottom of the so-called 'Bottomless Canyon', and fought their way through the ruined capital, Old Gyges. Queen Azura's mother, Arete, was amongst those that the UF faced, her body controlled by the profane magicks of the Silent Dragon. Moramachi Sumeragi was not spared this fate, nor was Queen Regent Mikoto, both of whom met their final ends at the hands of Corrin and Azura.

King Garon von Krakenburg also died, although the truth around his demise is still a closely guarded secrets. Betrayal at the hands of Ser Gunter shocked and deeply hurt King Corrin, but nonetheless, under his command, and wielding the holy Yato, King Corrin slew Anankos.

Granted land in the north of both Nohr and Hoshido to form their own Kingdom, King Corrin and Queen Azura ruled as a Diarchy. Building the capital of New Gyges on the border of Nohr and Hoshido both, and after a few rocky years to start, the Isauros dynasty brought peace to their fledgling Kingdom. A son, Shigure, was born four years after the formation of the Kingdom, with twins Kana and Caleb following four years later.
