Eventually Olidan's second, Laymon DuFranc, decided that they should back away. The guards of Sadonia piled in front of the door to Dragon Keep, in order to protect the Harbinger. Alud's second in command, Raymus Olidan, was killed after two hours, along with 753 of the Imperial Soldiers. The Empire had finally decided to storm Sadonia, the capitol of the Empire, Halifax, also where the rebellion began, on Janurarius the 3rd, and so they killed hundreds of guards in an hour. This meant Kurunt had the Yaminitians at his side.

This meant that they beleived the Black Hand had killed him, and the Black Hand supported the Empire. Unfortunatley, Kurunt had corrupted the system by dressing up as an Assasin, and killing the Harbinger of Yaminitia. In 1308, at Yaminitia, The Empire had hoped to persuade the Yaminitians, who were the most trained warriors on Lokii, would support the Empire. 988 of the 1,234 battles had been won by the better trained Empire. For 9 years many battles were fought, but no turning points truly occured. This meant that it was no longer a rebellion, but a full scale war. He declared Halifax an independent Harbingeracy. Kurunt's soldiers chased off the town's guards, and to his surprise, the towns folk joined him.

They only found that the emperor had moved the capitol to Sakit, this angered Kurunt, and so he stormed the capitol building and killed the King (City rank). He created a militia in the town of Sadonia, and stormed the capitol of Halifax. The original war began in 1299, when Adolfo Kurunt decided that Emperor Aldis Alud was not a good leader, and that his son, Saymus Alud was not a worthy successor.
