Editing Flos Reimarch (section)

==Background ==
When he was a young [Prince], Flos' father spent little time with him, and nobody expected him to become someone special. His mother had hoped for him to become a poet and was disappointed when he took up the sword.<ref name="4.02K" />

===Conquering Chandrar===
Flos ascended the throne of Reim at fourteen or fifteen years old after the passing of his mother. King Treland of the neighboring Kingdom of [[Hellios]] invaded at this time, hoping to take advantage of Reim's period of weakness and seize its lands for his own, comparatively powerful kingdom. Flos could not stop the invasion by force of arms. So he instead resorted to trickery, riding around Hellios' armies and, along with Gazi, making his way to the enemy kingdom's capital city, defended at this time only by a token force. After taking the city's walls, Flos walked into the throne room and challenged King Treland to single combat. Flos Reimarch defeated and killed the higher-level [King] in this duel, thereby beginning the legend of the King of Destruction.<ref name=":6.12 K" />

Later, Flos started a war with the Medilean Kingdom when he heard the royal family had been overthrown and a tyrannical [Warlord] had taken over. He also fought the Order of the Black Judgment when they became little more than bandits.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/05/11/6-15-k/ Chapter 6.15 K]</ref>

He reached Level 50 and gained his famed [Army of the King] Skill when he slew three [[Djinni]] in battle.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/04/16/interlude-levels/ Interlude - Levels]</ref>

Flos' legendary campaign of conquest lasted for six or seven years, by the end of which he had conquered most of the continent of Chandrar, and forged alliances or neutrality pacts with the very few nations which he did not conquer. After this was accomplished, Flos achieved something unprecedented in modern times, dispatching his armies to begin conquering other parts of the world. His armies landed and took territory on two more continents - [[Baleros]] and [[Izril]].<ref name="I-TQ" />

===Crumbling of the Campaign===
Most people assumed that Flos had overextended his reach by tackling Baleros and Izril at the same time. However, [[Niers Astoragon]] later theorized that Flos had a rather clever plan to quickly achieve his victory: He planned on rallying several uprising minorities on each continent (by promising power and land to the [[Gnolls]] of Izril, and the same to the [[Half-Gazers]] and [[Selphids]] of Baleros). Also, Flos assumedly didn't intend to have to defend Chandrar from extra-continental attacks, so he needed to occupy his enemies at their home continents. Niers assumed that Flos might have reached out to the Humans as well, especially those of Izril.<ref name="I-TQ" />

Flos sent [[Queravia]] with his armies to Baleros and [[Amerys]] with his armies to [[Izril]]. The start of both campaigns was promising: Queravia landed in the port city of Zaland and conquered it in a day, then defeated an army of the [[Four Great Companies]]. Meanwhile, Amerys landed on the southern shores of Izril<ref name="4.25N">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/04/03/4-25-n/ Chapter 4.25 N]</ref> and locked down [[Zeres]] all by herself in a stalemate.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/05/14/6-16/ Chapter 6.16]</ref><ref name="I-TQ">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/11/09/interlude-the-titans-question/ Interlude - The Titan's Question]</ref>

Several factors brought his downfall however:
*The fleet of [[Isles of Minos|Minos]] didn't ally with him, but instead attacked one of his invasion fleets, cutting off his beachheads on the other continents from reinforcements.<ref name="I-TQ" /> They also killed [[Tottenval]], whose death and body was discovered by the rest of the Seven only after Flos already had given up.<ref name="4.02K" />
*[[Rhir]] sent an army against Flos, possibly convinced by [[Wistram Academy|Wistram]] that Flos might ally with the [[Demons]], and managed to defeat [[Takhatres]].<!--possibly on Chandrar?--><ref name="I-TQ" />
*Queravia was besieged by Niers Astoragon, who personally killed Queravia in order to break her army.<ref name="I-TQ" />
As Queravia was Flos' lover, her demise caused Flos to fall into depression, giving up on his war of conquest. He headed back to [[Reim]] where he "slumbered" for the next 22 years, using his [Dreamer] Skills to walk through his memories and thoughts,<ref>{{VERef|10.12 H (Pt. 1)}}</ref> while his empire and kingdom crumbled.<ref name="4.02K">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/01/13/4-02-k/ Chapter 4.02 K]</ref>

The Izrilian armies returned to Chandrar and disbanded after having heard of Flos abandoning them.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/04/12/2-10/ Chapter 2.10]</ref> Many of Flos' subjects were angered and disappointed about this turn of events.<ref name="4.02K" />
