	After [[Lord Darigan]]'s fall from [[Champions of Meridell\|power]], Lord Kass, a general at the time, began to gain power and influence in the [[Darigan\|Citadel]], by bribing, intimidating and blackmailing a number of important or otherwise influential people ~~(his diagrammatic plan would imply at least eight)~~, including a captain, two chairman, a mayor, constable, judge, sheriff, prison keeper [[Master Vex]], and [[Galgarroth\|General Galgarroth]] ~~(interestingly misspelled by Lord Kass)~~.

	In an open-air speech to his public, Lord Kass, after a propaganda campaign portraying himself as a beloved leader and [[King Skarl]] as a hater of the people of ~~Darigan/~~Kass Citadel, said that people were willing to attack them "in the name of King Skarl", while in fact Meridell had no intention to attack.

He called upon his people to tell him what to do, and the crowd responded, "War!" and "Attack him first!"

	Lord Kass sent [[The Court Dancer\|Morguss' daughter]], an Aisha who portrayed the illusion of being beautiful, to King Skarl to capture him and his courtiers in a hypnotic dance. He had also seeded Meridell Castle with [http://neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=2&id=85 spies] and Morguss set a [http://neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=2&id=120 blight spell] on Meridell's crops.

	By Jeran's account, the first encountering of Kass' forces could have been no more than a days travel away from ''Hope River Village'', or possibly at it.

	As the Kass attack pressed on, in its early stages a small raiding party attacked a farmhouse: by coincidence, this was the same farmhouse that the creature Lord Darigan had become had taken up refuge. Sally rushed to the barn to tell "Mr. Scary" that they had to run, when the party swooped in on her and a [[Skeith]] grabbed her. Darigan swept forward, and with ease beat off the Skeith. The other three soldiers looked on, stunned. One of ~~them~~ called ~~questioningly to him~~, "Darigan?" before Darigan charged forward and effortlessly defeated the remaining members of the party. However, his old name haunted him, and he was in an almost trance-like state before Sally spoke to him, at which point he appeared to fully remember himself. He said that he had to go, before flying off towards the Citadel.

	As the Kass attack pressed on, in its early stages a small ~~party~~ raiding party attacked a farmhouse: by coincidence, this was the same farmhouse that the creature Lord Darigan had become had taken up refuge. Sally rushed to the barn to tell "Mr. Scary" that they had to run, when the party swooped on her, and a [[Skeith]] grabbed her. Darigan swept forward, and with ease beat off the Skeith. The other three soldiers looked on, stunned. One of them called questioningly to him, "Darigan?" before Darigan charged forward and ~~effortless~~ defeated the remaining members of the party, ~~but~~ his old name haunted him, and he was in an almost trance-like state before Sally spoke to him, at which point he appeared to fully remember himself. He said that he had to go, before flying off towards the Citadel.

	While King Skarl was mesmerised by the dance of the Court Dancer, Lord Kass started his offensive. [[Jeran]], Champion of Meridell, and his relatively small troop were the only force in the vicinity, and his calls for reinforcements and supplies were ignored by Skarl, who, thanks to the Court Dancer, was indisposed.

	The plan involved a two-pronged attack. [[Kayla]]'s new concoction, an enlarging potion which impressed King Skarl, would be used to super-size [[Turtum]]s, and these would be equipped with catapults on the top of their shells and manned with a squad of troops to combat Kass' war machines on the ground - the front for the ground war appeared to be closing on Meridell Castle rapidly. Just as the ground offensive got underway, Jeran would lead a team of soldiers, riding [[Uni]]-back, through the air to assault the Citadel itself.		The plan involved a two-pronged attack.

	Jeran's attack met heavy rain on their approach to the Citadel, and the turbulent weather may have made things difficult were it not for the [[Air Faerie\|Air]] [[Faerie]] [[Psellia]], who cleared the sky for them. While the Meridellian line met the oncoming invaders, Lord Kass was receiving information that the army was in full retreat and that Skarl had ordered all troops south.

	However, Kass, despite only having a skeleton force with him, seemed prepared enough to take on Jeran's sneak attack. Several fireballs were launched from the Citadel at the invaders, and Lord Kass himself joined the attack. Engaging Jeran, he forced him off the edge of the floating rock, and was about to dispatch the remnants of Jeran's invasion force when Lord Darigan arrived on scene.

The tide not just of the war, but of Kass' own engagement began to turn against him, however, and Darigan soon caused Kass to fall to the floor, narrowly missing a swing of Darigan's staff.
