The Luarin Conquest occurred during the 170s H.E. The first attack was in 174 H.E. on a noble stronghold in Malubesai.

The Luarin ConquestEdit

Michabur Durse of Queenscove was a Tortallan scholar and historian who wrote The Luarin Conquest: New Rulers in the Copper Isles, which was published in 312 H.E. According to the book, the Luarin Conquest occurred when there was unrest in the Isles between the ruling family of Haiming and other members of the ruling family of Haiming. Since the Isles were in a state of civil war, the people of the Eastern Lands, or the luarin, as they were called, saw this as an opportunity to take the Kyprish Isles by force. Rittevon of Lenman, a Marenite, led the conquest with his friend, Ludas Jimajen. Before they did attack, they bribed many raka nobles, promising them status when one of them sat on the throne. The last raka queen, Dilsubai, was a bit of the reason why the Kyprish Isles were under so much stress. Her shaky hold on her throne soon broke with the conquest.

Kyprioth versus Mithros and the Great MotherEdit

In the Divine Realms, when the luarin people mustered their forces and set out to attack, Mithros and his sister and lover, the Great Mother Goddess, saw this as an opportunity to gain more worshippers in more parts of the world. They overthrew their brother, Kyprioth, the patron god of the Isles. They threw the jaguar goddess, Gunapi the Sunrose to the bottom of the earth in chains. They left Kyprioth as a lesser sea god, while they ruled through the luarin kings. After the last battle of the conquest, Kyprioth had a raka priestess voice a prophecy to give hope to his followers:
