The Twin Battles of Idenham Fields and Brockenhurst

The twin battles of Idenham Fields and Brockenhurst were fought on 14th May 2697SS between the Cannalti army of Selma Jyn, The Duke of Horbruck, and a Human/Dwarven army under the Fandalori King Reah, ending The Cannalti War of Independence. It took place approximately 5 miles northwest of the towns of Idenham and Brockenhurst, and was a decisive Cannalti victory.

The twin battles of Idenham Fields and Brockenhurst are renowned as one of the greatest military victories of all time by Erdan scholars. It cemented Selma Jyn's hold on power as the ruler of Cannalt, the rise of The House of Jyn, Highblood, and Renea as a dominant force in politics, and changed the map of Erde forever.

The background of the battle was the death of The King of Fandalor, Robert Morristock of House De Serville. Childless, the throne passed to his elderly brother King Reah. While popular in Fandalor, Reah's overt thoughts on cultural unity within Fandalor were deeply unpopular to the locals of modern day Cannalt. Seeing the people of Cannalt as a colonised people only kept in check by the high degree of autonomy set by King Robert, the Duke of Horbruck Selma Jyn demanded to be given independence as a vassal state of Fandalor, a message delivered on King Reah's coronation day. The reply was quick;  'there shall be no independence for the north' - King Reah

The exact numbers of the armies are unknown, but it is estimated that around 15,000 men for Selma Jyn and 25,000 men for King Reah took part. Jyn's army was split into four main armies; two to defend the area around The Rockbell Gate, the natural valley leading out of The Hide led by Klaus Highblood, one army to defend Brockenhurst, the largest walled town in the area led by Erich Renea, and one army to patrol the fields around Idenham led by Selma Jyn.
