Let's see - KoS says that "in 1621 Fazzur prepared his army to move into Esrolia... Internal dissent there had caused some of the queens to asl Fazzur for assistance, and he agreed. But the invasion never occured, since the emperor himself drew back many of the troops to assist in the assault of Whitewall. Fazzur was furious, and instead of the army he sent a picked band of specialists to assist Queen Hendira and her family, who sought to establish a full Lunar temple in the city of Nochet. With this assistance, several blocks of tenements were burned, and the foundations laid to start a grand building quickly. Fazzur considered this a triumph, but it was vasty overshadowed by events at Whitewall........In spring of 1622... a coup in Esrolia also pulled the Lunar sympathizers from power, and the moon temple which had been begun was broken into pieces. Furthermore, the lands of Queen Hendira were plundered, and the temples there were also destroyed."
Later in 1622, it would appear that "the struggling pro-Lunar Red Earth Alliance was attacked, and their factions thrown out of many cities. They raised an army and burnt a city of the Old Earth faction, but were chased away by spear men with burning weapons. The Red Earth queen asked for lunar military help, but Tatius dispatched only the Grazeland Horse Army to help them."
"At the start of 1623, Tatius again engaged a large part of his forces to build the temple. However, this spring when Broyan and his ragged army of outlaws showed up in Esrolia, the Grazeland Horse Army was defeated and ran away. The leaders of the Red Earth Alliance were invaded and their lead cities besieged. Their leaders were trapped at the necropolis and begged for help. This time Tatius sent a part of his army down river quickly and they sailed to Esrolia. The fleet was refused a landing in Nochet... but disembarked only ten miles away at a friendly port. The army marched to Nochet and besieged it, trapping most of the Old Earth Alliance inside. Over the year, only a few portions of the city fell, or defected, to the besiegers."
Then "in 1624, the Warm Earth Alliance, reinforced by Wolf Pirates [and the Hendreiki led by King Broyan] and western barbarians, marched to fight the Lunar Army, which lifted its ineffective siege and went eagerly for an honest battle. They met at the Battle of Pennel, a strategic ford. The western barbarians deserted the Warm Earth Alliance, and many joined the Lunar Army." However, Harrek the Berserk carried the day for the Wolf Pirates and the Lunar army was routed.
The next year was the Dragonrise and after that, the Lunar adventure in Esrolia came to an end. Does that help?
