It was at this fortress that the [[Miracle of Dahna]] occurred, changing the tide of the war: Dáinn was chosen by an unidentified member of the twelve [[dragon]] "gods" who descended upon the fortress, to undergo a [[Holy Blood|blood-bond]] with said dragon, transforming him into one of the Crusaders. He was granted [[Gungnir]], sealed to his new holy lineage, by this dragon. | ||
With the other Crusaders, Dáinn fought in the rest of the [[Holy War]] and contributed to the downfall of the Loptrian Empire. At the war's conclusion, Dáinn and Njörun settled in the Thracian Peninsula and founded the Kingdom of Thracia, then encompassing the entire peninsula. Ten years after Thracia's foundation, an event known in Leonster mythology as the "Tragedy of the Gáe Bolg" occurred: Dáinn entered a dispute with his best friend, Njörun's husband, over an unknown subject, and the two resorted to combat in a bid to settle the matter. Njörun attempted to break them up, but instead she inadvertently killed her husband with the Gáe Bolg, committing suicide as a result. Shortly afterward, Dáinn himself died under mysterious circumstances, and the Thracian throne was succeeded by his son, who proved to be a tyrannical rule whose reign led to Njörun's son leading the [[Munster District]] in secession from Thracia.<ref>{{cite web|quote=A: Njörun married a knight who was friends with her brother Dáinn and lived a happy life with him. One day, her husband and King Dáinn fought each other over some dispute. Njörun tried to stop the two fighting, but accidentally killed her beloved husband (the weapon that took his life was her lance). That was the beginning of events, Later, Njörun committed suicide and King Dáinn died a mysterious death.|url=https://serenesforest.net/general/designers-notes/holy-war/playing-guide/|title=Designers' notes from a ''Genealogy of the Holy War'' playing guide|site=translated by Serenes Forest|retrieved=November 21, 2013}}</ref> | |||
