The Twelve Days War

Outline of Events
The Twelve Days War was the inciting incident which lead to the formation of the Kingdom of Aidanse.

On the border between two kingdoms, _ and _, dwarven prospectors discover a promising platinum vein. Beginning their mining operation, the mine becomes extremely profitable and gets the attention of the kingdoms between which it sits.

The kings each send troops to the mine in order to secure it for themselves. Fighting breaks out between the opposing armies, and the kings each order their Military Commanders to launch full scale attacks.

However, the Commanders from each kingdom were uncle and niece. Together the Commanders conspired to have their King assassinated.

Thus the two Commanders had the opposing kingdoms annexed together to for the new Kingdom of Aidanse. The King of which was the uncle, and whose heir was his niece - as his son had died in war many years earlier.

So the Twelve Days War ended with the abolishment of two kingdoms and the establishment of a third - more economically successful than the previous two combined - kingdom, Aidanse.

Since the Twelve Days War Aidanse has had a Queen as ruler. This practice of a female ruler has spread around the surrounding kingdoms, namely Denoria, Goudîle, Toupas, and Toupasse
