Kingdom of Scadenig

Kingdom of Scadenig, commonly known as Scadeníg is one of the Northern Adalwerric Kingdoms, ruled by the King Horscríce. Like it's eastern cousins Scadenigians are famous sailors and traders. Even though they may not be as good on sea as Myrctlanders they surly can match anyone in land battles.

Military
The main military bodies in the Scadeníg are called Thrangs. Each Scír has it's Thrang lead by the local Earl. The biggest and most important of them is the Kingly Thrang, which as it's name suggest is lead by the King.

Preludium
At the turn of the 4th and 5th centuries, Herutzisk Folksric began to forcefully absorb smaller kingdoms into its territory and authority, expanding vastly around the continent. It's then when one of the petty Kings Haraldr Blood-Axe of Myrctland came up with an initiative of uniting the northern realms under one King to avoid aggression from the south. He began putting his plan into life in 501 DC, and within 15 years he convinced most Lords of Myrctland to join him and serve as his vassals.

Of course, not everyone was happy about that, and two opposing tribes battled against him.

Those were the Sceathans and Inglingas. In 516 DC, Haraldr eventually forced them to surrender and banished them from the Myrctland. Haraldr was a merciful King that why he allowed them to set their sails peacefully and venture west.

The Isle of Wyrm was their destination, and all they knew about it, was that some petty Ganwigian Kingdoms might be there and that they call it Tírceó. A year after, Horbæreth and Gūthfaneth, two Kings, two blood-brothers, lead their tribes to the unknown lands, to seek a new home.

Landing on the Isle of Wyrm
The isle of Wyrm was partially wild and inhabited, but there was the small Ganwigian Kingdom on the south. Horbæreth and Gūthfaneth had landed to the shores of Wyrmig in 517 DC. Soon after they had learned, that indeed, there used to be three Ganwigian Kingdoms on this Isle. But a great war happened between them quite recently.

Only one of them endured, struggling to regain control and strength. So the isle was consumed by chaos. The Kingdom of Draicddrych was called and Arthduine was the name of the King. The Last Kingdom on this misty isle, but not for long, as Adalwerrians, who had just appeared on their doorstep, were to be their doom.

Gūthfaneth with Sceathans settled on the Eastern Headland, and his settlement was named Eoforwic. Horbæreth sailed further North, and, when he found the right place there, he built a mighty fort named Horbærethsburh.

Betrayal of Arthduine and war with Draicddrych
Arthduine hearing about those new Kings on his isle, as yet another war could mean the end of his line. Thus, in his cunningness, he came up with a plan. He invited his new neighbours to a feast in his great hall, a gesture of goodwill and a sign of friendship, he said it was. But Arthduine didn't plan on releasing his guest alive from his hospitality. But the Blood-Brother Kings had seen through him, and instead of attending themselves, they had sent their húscarls who were supposed to pretend to be them. Thus they avoided death from treacherous Ganwigian.

This act meant war of course, and the war was waged, upon Arthduine.

Few days after Draicddrychsian King had learned, that his plot was exposed, he rushed toward Eforwic, to surprise his new enemy and avoid fighting with a greater force. But all he found was an empty settlement as all Sceathans sailed upstream the Fealgen river and landed near Ganwigian burgh Carracubull. Arthduine left few guardsmen there so overtaking his fort was not a difficulty for Gūthfaneth.

In this situation, the Homeless King had no choice but to siege his castle. He had very little time as Horbæreth was coming from the North burning all Ganwigian outposts on his way. Finally, he arrived at Carracubull to save his brother from the siege. Arthduine was forced into a pitched battle. Lord of the Carracubull fiercely attempted to defend himself against two foreign armies, but they eventually overran him. Battle this was since now know as Battle of Three Kings.

It was early spring of 518 DC, the battle was victorious, but sadly for the Adalwerrians one of their Kings fell in this battle. Horbæreth King of Inglingas has been slain by Arthduine, in an awe-inspiring duel amidst the fray. His blood brother found his body next to the Ganwigian Snake and lunged towards him to avenge his friend. Arthduine fell under a rain of blows from Adalwerrian Greataxe, and so he took his vengeance.

The war was over soon. Most of the Ganwigians fighting by the Arthduine side were sensible enough bend the knee before the new King. In few days rest of the resisting petty warlords were diminished, and Horbæreth had full control of the Isle.
