Occurring on the 10th of the Grand Harvest, 62nd year of the Second Age, during the Urguani-Orenian War, the Battle of Lower Petra was the largest and bloodiest battle of Almarian history. It was fought between the Imperial Alliance and the Tripartite Accord. The majority of the melee was centered around Jarad's Tavern and the surrounding fields.
Prelude
Following the conquest of Lower Petra by the Tripartite Accord, Philip III, Holy Orenian Emperor launched a war of request to take back the former Orenian territory. While battles broke out in Karosgrad & Stone Tower, the majority of the belligerent's armies prepared for the inevitable skirmish that was to take place in Lower Petra. The Imperial Alliance began preparing for a siege on the Sedanite city of Haverlock. On the 1st of the Grand Harvest, 62 S.A., the Imperials began mobilizing. The Tripartite Accord followed suit and rallied an enormous host to meet the Imperials in an open field in an attempt to halt them from reaching Haverlock. On the 10th of the month, the armies met at Jarad's Tavern, a center point in Lower Petra. The Imperials had amassed a host of 14,200 while the Accord outnumbered them, having a total host of 17,100.
