The Appledrake Usurpation
Queen Appledrake was deposed. She found herself without a horde after the conflicts of the Bloody Decade had ended. When the Icebrunt warlords decided to each vie for the throne, her power and authority vanished. She was forgotten by the warlords. Since she had no horde, she was no threat. This was called The Appledrake Usurpation. Each horde was on their own. They began to war with each other for supremacy. There was active warfare for ten years, often referred to as The Second Bloody Decade. But no horde was big enough to take control of the whole country. Over time, this war of attrition faded into the tradition of raiding that lasted for the rest of Icebrunt’s history.
