The Sunrise War details the landing of Jaher of the Remnant Fleet in Sarhal along with his conquests against the gnolls and their allied forces in Bulwar over the next 5 years, where he is crowned king and forms the Phoenix Empire.
History[]
Beginning in the year 1001, Jaher would land in the port of Brasan with his ship the Diranhriá, also known as the Sundancer. In the same year as his arrival the Akal of Zanšap, Bavar I, submitted to him under the conditions that him and his forces would help to take Bulwar from the gnolls and harpies who resided there. Joining him in this campaign were many native Bulwari, inspired by both his presence and eager to fight against these "monstrous invaders". Three years later, in 1004, Jaher would fulfill his promise to the Akal of Zanšap by driving the gnolls completely out of the Šad Sur and returning Zanšap's territories and more. By 1006 he had driven the gnolls and harpies (crushing the matriarchy of Siadan) out of Bulwar with many natives declaring him both their savior and Surael reborn.
Aftermath[]
With the gnolls and harpies expelled from Bulwar, Jaher was crowned king in the port of Brasan and declares the creation of the Phoenix Empire, naming his people Sun Elves. The people's praise of Jaher as Surael reborn would lead to the creation of the New Sun Cult from the Old Sun Cult. After his death it was believed that his divine duty then resided in his Sun Elven people.
