Fall of Kashuan

The Invasion of Kashuan is a conflict that takes place immediately before the events of Final Fantasy II.

Emperor Mateus of the Palamecian Empire has made a deal with Satan allowing him to raise an army of demons from hell. Using this army, he starts expanding his empire by overrunning surrounding nations. Being northern neighbor of Palamecia and relatively weak in comparison, the Kingdom of Kashuan is is a natural firs target.

The kingdom is quickly overrun by the superior Palamecian Army, and Prince Scott and Gordon flees to Fynn, where they are offered shelter. The defeat of Kashuan allows the Imperial Army to march further north and enslave the people of Bafsk and Salamand, and he eventually also goes south and attacks Fynn.
