*Destruction of Freiberg*

While the forces of the *Garde Rouge* and various southern factions were busy drawing a trail of destruction across the province, eventually occupying the estates of Wurzen, Grima and Soltberg, the forces of the *Traqueurs* and *Berserks* began the final siege of [Freiberg](/wiki/bicolline/regions/terres-du-sud/kazarun/freiberg/).

Besieged for several months, the provisions of the great fortress of Freiberg grew low but still a year long siege seemed likely until the day when the skies over the territory were set ablaze by celestial flames, originating back in [Gotwald](/wiki/bicolline/regions/terres-du-sud/dulgaron/gotwald/) at the Galactic Nexus, the home of the mage Clars F. Lester

When the devastating attack ended, the fortress still stood but the city was in ruins. The [Redemptorists](/wiki/bicolline/organizations/order-of-our-lady-of-the-redemption/) who had survived the obliteration left the safety of their dungeons to survey the damage. They were surprised, however, by the [Sudiste](/wiki/bicolline/regions/terres-du-sud/) survivors of the final battle with Sultan who had taken a detour to aid in the efforts to free [Kazarun](/wiki/bicolline/regions/terres-du-sud/kazarun/). Led by [King Rathan](/wiki/bicolline/people/king-rathan/), they swooped down on the smoking ruins and crushed the remaining Redemption forces. With this final victory, a unified Terres du Sud finally emerged.
