#### Liberating of Kazarun \- 1013-1014

Although the war with the Sultan had ended with a peace accord, conflict still raged across the land. The armies of [Dulgaron](/wiki/bicolline/regions/terres-du-sud/dulgaron/), Ma'at and Darganof now marched on the independent city of [Kazarun](/wiki/bicolline/regions/terres-du-sud/kazarun/), stronghold of the forces of *[l’Ordre Notre-Dame de la Rédemption](/wiki/bicolline/organizations/order-of-our-lady-of-the-redemption/)*, in revenge for their betrayal during the war and to liberate those that still suffered under the tyranny of the Sultan. 

*[Flooding of the Kadar Mine](/wiki/bicolline/events/flooding-of-the-kadar-mine/)*

One of the most decisive victories was scored when the mage Clars F. Lester cast an arcane spell all the way from the [Sublunar Manifestation of the Galactic Nexus](/wiki/bicolline/regions/terres-du-sud/dulgaron/gotwald/) in Gotwald with a spell so powerful he was able to flood the Kadar mines, destroying the wealth and forces of our enemies. 

*[Siege of Kazarun](/wiki/bicolline/events/siege-of-kazarun/)*

Taking advantage of the total destruction of the armies of the Redemption by Clars’ magical attacks, the whole of *[Terres du Sud](/wiki/bicolline/regions/terres-du-sud/)* began their assault on Kazarun.  While the *Berserks* were busy ransacking the Lubsko estate and the Kadar mine was taken by arcane forces, the forces of the *l’Arrogance* and the *Garde Rouge* laid siege to the country estates of the *Redemptoristes*. Soon the fortress of [Freiberg](/wiki/bicolline/regions/terres-du-sud/kazarun/freiberg/) was all that remained of their holdings in Kazarun and they began preparations for a long siege. 

*[Destruction of Freiberg](/wiki/bicolline/events/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.

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 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 who had survived the obliteration left the safety of their dungeons to survey the damage. They were surprised, however, by the Sudiste survivors of the final battle with Sultan who had taken a detour to aid in the efforts to free 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.
