=== Feint at Kingsvalley ===
=== Feint at Kingsvalley ===
The SFK struck first at '''[[Kingsvalley]]''', brushing aside local militia and drawing Directionland’s nearby field forces toward '''St. Stylinson''', the nearest major stronghold and the empire’s former de facto capital. Contemporary analysts long treated the Kingsvalley push as the main blow; post-war staff studies call it what it was—'''a feint'''. (Kingsvalley would gain later notoriety for a much later portal event; at the time its fall was mostly strategic misdirection.)
