In the subsequent century of cold war between the Manster District and Thracia, Leonster's elite [[ | In the subsequent century of cold war between the Manster District and Thracia, Leonster's elite [[Lanceritter]] knight legion was the primary deterrent obstructing Thracia's wish to reclaim the lush northern lands of the peninsula; no matter what they tried, Thracia was incapable of advancing past them. The stalemate finally shifted in Grann 761: while on an expedition in the Yied Desert, Leonster's Prince [[Quan]], Princess [[Ethlyn]] and the Lanceritter were ambushed by a Thracian army spearheaded by its King [[Travant]] and were [[Yied Massacre|massacred]]. With Leonster's defenses weakened, Thracia launched an assault on the District with the support of the traitorous [[Raydrik]] of [[Conote]], causing the downfall of Leonster; the castle was set alight by Thracian forces, and the Leonster knight [[Finn]] was forced to flee with the infant prince [[Leif]], his wife [[Lachesis]] and his daughter [[Nanna]]. Thracia's hold on the District was short-lived, with the Grannvale Empire launching a strike on the District. Thracia was cowed into becoming a servant state to Grannvale, and as with the rest of the District, Thracia fell under the occupation of the forces of [[Friege]] under [[Bloom]]. | ||
Fifteen years later, in Grann 776, Leif led a liberation army through the Manster District, culminating with the reclamation of Leonster; however, his forces sustained heavy casualties from this endeavour and were trapped in a siege by the Friege army, but was saved by the timely arrival of [[Seliph]]'s army to provide support in freeing the Manster District. Following the conclusion of the war, Leonster was assimilated into the New Kingdom of Thracia under Leif's rule, acting as his capital. | Fifteen years later, in Grann 776, Leif led a liberation army through the Manster District, culminating with the reclamation of Leonster; however, his forces sustained heavy casualties from this endeavour and were trapped in a siege by the Friege army, but was saved by the timely arrival of [[Seliph]]'s army to provide support in freeing the Manster District.
