==YP 313-349 The Inglorious War. Marriage==
The '''Emperor''' leads an army into Alaya to 'reclaim' the lands which were occupied by the 'invaders' while the Empire was resolving troubles close to home. He has the backing of theologically watertight documents which prove the heretical nature of the Alayan church. After skirmishes and devastation of the countryside, a siege begins at the City of Mages. This lasts eleven years and ends when the Emperor, who is already wed to a Sirdehaar witch, weds an Alayan princess and names her Empress. Half of the army is comprised of Sirdehaar tribesmen, and these quit in disgust for home. As they have earned very little booty in the campaign, many groups detour through Hugaar itself, sacking at least a dozen minor cities.

With the marriage, the Emperor founds the '''Empire of the Twinned Stars'''.
