Hot take of the War of Aggression between the Principality of Dragonia and the Brotherhood in 'Brotherhood-verse'. Northumbria, an Athleta Dreadnought(essentialy the human version of a Dragon) carries out the invasion of the Dragonian mainland and follow on forced entry of Brotherhood presence into the mainland. Helped carry out the defeat of Dragonia's champions in single duels along with other notable Dreadnoughts Carpathia, Virgil, Percival the Younger, and George the Saint. It was by the quick wit and pragmatic thinking of the Dragonian Princess that managed to slay Northumbria, which would symbolically mark as the turning point in the war in favor of Dragonia. As the Brotherhood offensive collapsed and a disorganized retreat was made back to the coast, shortly following evacuation upon suing for peace.

The War of Aggression would technically end up an operational failiure for the Brotherhood but somewhat a strategic success. Despite failiing to capture the major cities of Dragonia and establishing a permanent presence, Dragon raids almost ceased to exist post-war, the 'Peace with Honor' was signed ensuring an uneasy but ultimately adhered to armistice. Perhaps most importantly, the image of  the invincibility of the Dragon had been broken, and their pride dragged through the mud by the defeat of their champions in duels on their own soil. The Dragon Princess had lost any support of her already superlicious kind, despite her efforts effectively saving Dragonia, and was ousted from power by her own faction.

Naturally with humanity and dragons, who share a sense of arrogance somewhat similar to some observers, both sides assert a biased 'true victor'. Regardless of it, a second attempt was never made into Dragonia, but Dragons everywhere had considered the war, and Fall of Northumbria specifically, to spark a new age for Dragons they would call the ''Bok Do Bonaar. '' 'The Age of Humiliation'
