Consolidation

The Davite Consolidation (109-142) is the inclusive period from the death of King Dav's first family until the final conclusion of his expansionist military campaigns. The Consolidation included the annexation of the cities of Wilhelm and Lothos from Vandago and Vandago's subsequent surrender, Dav's loss at the mouth of the Bren River, his subsequent victory and occupation of the Charalin Plains, the defeat of Tubor by the combined might of the armies of Dav and of Grand Duke Jaren of Vandango, and the final battle against the barons Warsalus of Farin.

It is also during this time that the Order first began to establish its authority in more political, secular sphere. Historians are divided on whether this occurred because Dav was absent or whether it was done with his blessing. The Reeves were dissolved during this time as well, only to be reformed later at the behest of the Order itself.

The Knights of the Chalice (now the Knights Lithmorran) also formed during the Consolidation.

The Consolidation remains one of the most significant military campaigns of modern times, not only because of its impact upon the course of history but also because of the remarkable strategies in play. Scholars have extensively studied Dav's movements vis a vis the less-organized strategies of the neighboring Kingdoms and Duchies, looking to better understand the tactics employed by men such as Dav and Grand Duke Jaren of Vandago. Any Lithmorran studying the art of war starts by studying the Consolidation.
