The Imperial Order War was a war that raged between the Imperial Order and a majority of the New World under the banner of the D'Haran Empire. The creation of the D'Haran Empire resulted in the dissolution of the longstanding Midlands Alliance in an effort to build a combined front against the horde of the Imperial Order, which saught to destroy magic and bring the free people of the New World under its rule, as it had previously with the much larger Old World.
[edit] History
[edit] Origins
Jagang had just finished the unification of the old world at about the time Richard and Verna arrived in Tanimura. Word of the order had quickly spread to the New world and had influenced the prince of Keltan to take Aydindril and Galea for himself. When Jagang had heard of the fall of the great barrier, he told his people that an emperor from beyond had tried to invade. This lie had given him the grounds for war.
[edit] Galea
[edit] Massacre of Ebinissia
An imperial order army, made up of, Keltans, D'harans and Galeans, attacked the capital of Galea, Ebinissia. The inhabitants of Ebinissia had refused to surrender to the imperial order army. The imperial order army then lays siege to Ebinissia. The inhabitants were slaughtered, but, not after the imperial order had raped and brutally killed the women. A force of around five thousand Galean recruits arrived shortly after the order army had left.
[edit] Raid
Kahlan, the mother confessor along with Chandelen, Prindin and Tossidin and quickly found the Galean recruits under Captain Ryan. The captain explained their plan to Kahlan and then Kahlan told them that the D'haran soldiers in the imperial order ranks were far more experienced and that the hammer and nail tactic would not work on them. Kahlan then went alone to the imperial order camp and saw that the order army had acquired a wizard. Kahlan is chased out of camp and kills fifty order soldiers in the process. Kahlan then plans a raid on the order camp along with two thousand of the Galean recruits. The raid destroys the order's supplies and kills some of their key generals. After the raid, Kahlan is betrayed by Prindin, who is a baneling in disguise. Prindin killed his brother Tossidin when he tried to help Kahlan. Prindin shot Chandelen with a ten-step arrow, but Chandelen had taken some quassin doe before going out to fight and had rsien up and killed Prindin.
[edit] Against the odds
Kahlan and Chandelen left for Aydindril to face another case of treachery. The remaining Galean recruits under Captain Ryan, fought the imperial order soldiers to the last man. Kahlan returned and soon after her second case of treachery. By then, no imperial order soldiers that had sacked Ebinissia were left, and only nine-hundred of the Galean recruits were left.
