Prelude

The Hadrian-Raevendrecht War also referred to as the Great Northern War was a major conflict that took place on the north-western border regions between the Hadrian Empire and the Republic of Raevendrecht. Tensions between the two powers have been on an all-time high as the two leaders, Kaiser Philipp II, and Stadtholder Silas van Leuveren have been preaching the sentiment of war for some time now in public letters sent back and forth after Kaiser Philipp sent out a pressing ultimatum in which he demanded the two human empires to unite under his banner, disbanding the Republic. The spark that made the two powers come to blow was a false flag attack from the Enlightened Kingdom of Luminion in which Fynenar Aey’flir and a band of elven warriors disguised themselves as Republican soldiers and attacked a border fortification of the Hadrian Empire, claiming it as their own before quickly vanishing into the night. As the news reached the Imperial Capital, Adelsburg, the Kaiser summoned his Imperial Duma where a unanimous vote for war passed as the nobles of the Empire were enraged by this severe Republican transgression. A declaration of war was drafted within a saints day and delivered to the surprised Republic’s court. The Imperial court began gathering troops for the conflict, hiring the renowned but still relatively unknown mercenaries of the Order of Lazarus to make up the bulk of their forces before marching north into the Republic. This conflict was a clash of titans and its outcome would determine the political situation and continental balance of power for decades to come.
