The Pirate Wars
Some years later, a merchant from Migarom claimed he had recognized the Aturan Prince Erikar on a pirate ship and he had reported this to
King Jornim IV of Migarom. Jornim and Lokir had been disputing lands for a while then and Jornim now saw a reason to attack Lokir over them. He publicly declared a war over trade disputes (believing that Lokir was funding, even helping the pirates to cripple the Migarohm economy) but in reality he wanted lands back. Jornim was very surprised to find pirates siding with him in the first battle of this war that came to be known as The Pirate Wars. The pirates, being led by Pirateking Colbert on his ship The Scarlet Drake, Erikar Noval on his ship Cartox, Jorik Clyff on his ship Wolfsbane and Homir Clyff on, came in in the middle of the battle and flanked Lokir’s fleet. Lokir recognized his son and commanded his commanders to sink his ship and kill Erikar. They managed to set fire to Erikar’s ship and while it sunk, Erikar went down with his ship but was later carried on board of Colbert’s ship. The pirates were able to do enough damage to Lokir’s fleet that they ended up fleeing. The battle was won. Lokir, knowing that his son was still alive, commanded a second fleet to be built and only five months later, Lokir’s fleet (Lokir himself stayed in Prosemor this time) set sail towards war with Migarom again. The pirates did yet again come to help, but thise time using different methods. They lured a portion of Lokir’s fleet in an ambush while the other part was baing handled by King Jornim. Many, even the pirates, were starting to get enough of these battles so Erikar, Jorik and Homir chose to take the risk and assassinate King Lokir. Prosemor was a city built in the middle of a lake, the only way to get in or out was by boat and everyone was being checked thoroughly in all of Lokir’s madness. They searched long for a way to enter the city without raising alarm, until they found Leyana. She was the daughter of the Ahm of Caelora and had come all the way to Prosemor for the same reason as Erikar and the brothers Clyff. To get revenge on King Lokir. Her sister was Allaya Ahmdòr and she was in Cerith the moment Lokir opened the water gates. They managed to enter the city in a veil of darkness casted by Leyana and they entered the palace by taking out the guards. They ran into Lokir and Katara, Erikar’s brother and sister, and explained the situation to them. After hearing the truth and discovering all the lies their father had been feeding them, they agreed that this had to end. They all arrived in Lokir’s bedroom, and that’s when Lokir knew his life would end right there. He looked his son in the eyes one last time, distracted by the metal contraption that now existed where once his left arm had been. Then Jorik shot him in the shoulder with a poisoned bolt, and they all left the room while King Lokir I’s reign ended in poison and blood. Erikar Noval, who was now the legal heir to the throne, refused to accept the position that eventually made his father mad so his younger brother Lokir took the title, becoming King Lokir II of Aramor.

The Landing on Zalynn(Because the Necromancer hasn't been doing nothing all this time)
Back on Atura, The Necromancer had been hunting down survivors and raising them in his army for a couple years now. In Service of Mhar Thôll, he had promised to add all of Zalynn (the northern continent, where the previous few chapters also took place) to his empire. So he commanded his army, to start building ships. When they were done with that he sailed north and started taking the villages that are scattered through Aloth Hiathras, where he landed his fleet.
The Sieges of Exoldhim
The Necromancer eventually reached Exoldhim, the island capital city ruled by Dragonking Gholamar I. When Dragonking Gholamar asked for help, Leyana led the Esya armies south to Exoldhim, the Dragonking’s capital city. There she met with Erikar again, who this time was leading Aramor’s legions when they attacked the Necromancer’s army from behind and saved the city in the First Siege of Exoldhim. Between the First and the Second siege, help had also arrived from Essina, the desert nation. During the second siege however, the Essini armies turned on their allies and started a slaughter within the walls. Leyana and the other commanders were only able to escape the city in time because of the Oldhuk army led by Kurt Varath that arrived just in time to help evacuate the city. Leyana then sent an envoy north to ask her mother for a bigger army to defeat the Necromancer.
The Hannab Massacre
The Necromancer now marched on his own allies, Essina and managed to take their lands without much of an effort. This was what Kurt was counting on and while The Necromancer was in the Essini capital Hannab, all armies from all over Zalynn converged on the city. A massive siege took place in the pressing heat of the desert. Days on end they laid siege on Hannab, constantly sending armies back to get fresh water. When the second Esya army led by Ahm Rhaella II arrived, the walls breached and the battle begun. Hours passed by as the battle continued (luckily at night so it was even rather cold outside) and it was eventually Rhaella, Leyana, Erikar and Kurt and a group of trusted men that managed to breach the Hannab throne room where the Necromancer was held up. Nearly all of his army of dead men was killed again or burned in Dragonfire by now. They attacked the Necromancer all at once but during this fight Rhaella received a mortal wound to which she later died. And while Kurt and Erikar distracted the Necromancer, Leyana was able to get the jump on him and she killed him by binding a rope around his neck and throwing him out of a window after his famous last words “No swords can pierce my skin”. The Necromancer was hanged in plain sight and with him, his entire army passed to the other side. Rhaella was now deas as well so Leyana became Ahm of Caelora, ruler of Naviton.
