Battle where Ariella's Rebellion was crushed by Cuitech and Harker


In 1621 Ariella sister of Delgarde raised a rebellion against the throne. A few disaffected nobles - mostly those powerful under Vane - sided with her, but they were counting on a plot to assassinate the royal family which failed miserably, and were crushed at the battle of Valbet in 1622. In the absence of King Surya, the loyalist forces were led by his son Cuitech, General Harker, and Delgarde. Ariella was killed in the battle.
