Free Alliance

An alliance between Sesendi, Darkwater, and Maratrina founded in 383 in order to rival Tellmir. Tellmir had begun to reform as the Blight of Parasix pushed the elves out of the east. The alliance was formed by Nil Grimseer of Darkwater, Esserio Verdari of Maratrina, and Rika Blasenger of Sesendi. The alliance was ultimately unsuccessful in preventing the reunification of Tellmir by Tor Velgreh. The alliances lone accomplishment was, rather, the creation of the Free Kingdom of Lagura. The alliance fell apart in 393 when Esserio Verdari led an attack on Lagura. Verdari had laid claim to Lagura since the alliance had occupied it and was not pleased to have Varicus Spiderfang, a Sesendine general, declare himself its new lord. Verdari and Spiderfang were both killed in the battle, and his heir, Sarya Verdari, promptly left the alliance. Rika Blesenger was unexpectedly assassinated in 394 and a succession crisis ensued in Sesendi. The alliance officially died in 396 when Nil Grimseer and Rashya Alzevir defeated Sarya Verdari at Ilsenvern and formed a new alliance, the Pact of the Golden Road. Sesendi would spend the next three years tearing itself apart looking for a new heir.
