The Great Northern Aquilonis War was a major war on the northern half of Aquilonis between The Confederacy of Umdar and a legion of allied nations. Umdar's goal was to unite Aquilonis under its banner, and bring about its dominance in Aquilonis. Allied intervention led to the defeat of Umdar and its dissolution.

Behind the scenes, the chaos of the war was being used by the Chaos Order in an attempt to bring back the Dark Lord, but this too was defeated at the hands of the timely reunited Lunaculi.

This war also marked the first time in over 500 years that the seven Lunaculi were reunited.

Prelude

Breakup of Salrinoa

The war's origins can be traced back to the Salrinoan Revolutionary Wars roughly a century prior. Towards the end of the conflict, several Salrinoan States that separated from the defunct Salrinoa Federation merged with Umdar to form the Confederacy of Umdar.

Annexation of southern Solana States

In the early days of 4534 AFZ Umdar began its campaign to unify Aquilonis, starting by annexing the former Salrinoa states of the south, from Koelba to Qatu, after months of negotiation. It also attempted to annex Lirgal and Velda, but they refused to negotiate. The Salrinoa states to the north also refused to negotiate and turned a blind eye to what Umdar was trying to do.

War

Fall of Lirgal and Velda

In the early days of Rasanova 4535 the war began. While the remaining Salrinoan States yet to be annexed by Umdar held a summit in Lirgal, two Umdari armies, without a declaration of war, invaded Lirgal and Velda. Caught off guard by the sudden attack, both countries fell by the end of the month.

In response, the northern countries, including Soleil, who's King had been in attendance to the meeting, declared war on Umdar. Despite stiff resistance, the northern Salrinoan States soon fell as well. When the last of the Salrinoan states on the mainland fell, Markaydia also declared war, fearing it would be next.

Fall of Soleil

By the end of the war's first year most of former Salrinoa was in Umdari hands. But Soleil, having no real ties to any of the nations, did nothing to prevent it. Instead it worked toward securing its own borders to prevent invasion, using spies and making all sorts of guesses as to when and where it would occur so they could react in an instant. But after Umdari rule in the northern countries was secure, all activity seemed to had stopped.

A year passed with no one making any moves, and the Soleilian Government soon believed that Umdar had no quarrel with Soleil and would be open to negotiate. They were wrong.

For several months, Umdar had been secretly stacking troops on Potiruka, which had secretly sided with Umdar in exchange for retaining its independence. Umdar then invaded Soleil from its southern coast, outflanking the Soleilian Southern Armies one after another. With the southern flank broken, the Umdari armies advanced and shattered Soleil's confused Northern Army, sending remnants of it into full retreat.

By the end of the war's third year, Soleil's capital had fallen, its King killed. Even worse, Soleil was betrayed by one of its own noble houses, House Adhmenar, which led to the king's death, and its leader, Germain Paul-Antoine, Marquis de Adhemar, was placed on the Soleilian throne; the rightful heir to the throne went into hiding, and only a small rebellion loyal to the Royal Family, led by Germain's own daughter, persisted the fight.

Soleil's friend and ally for generations, the Empire of Yamatai, preoccupied with an uprising, was powerless to help.

Fall of Avalar

Halfway through the fourth year of the war, Avalar, viewing Umdar's military expansion as a threat, declared war and attempted an invasion. This invasion didn't even last three months, and Avalar was beaten back and invaded by Umdar.

Most of the main body of Avalar and the eastern handle fell to Umdar quickly. Having lost its capital and pushed back into the southeast corner of their territory, the remnants of the Avalari government, without any real military strength left, agreed to an armistice, and was allowed to retain independent authority in the southeast.

Invasion of Auribestan & Intervention

At the same time as the Invasion of Avalar, Umdar also focused on its next target, and invaded Auribestan. The Auribestani had been expecting this and was more than prepared for it, allowing them to hold them back for the time being. However, when Avalar signed the armistice with Umdar, Umdar launched the full force of their army against Auribestan, and the brute force of the Umdari attack forced them back.

Partway into the year 4540, Drakcnyia and Telmarnia declared war on Umdar and lent aid to Auribestan. Now fighting three armies at once, Umdar, having already conquered over half of Auribestan, was forced to halt their advance. However, while the fighting continued, neither side of the conflict was able to make any significant gains. By this time, the persistence of the remnants of the Soleilian Loyalists, along with aid from an unknown source, had halted Umdar on the Soleilian Peninsula as well.

Halfway through the war's fifth year, the war in Auribestan, as well as Umdar's campaign against the remnants of the Soleilian Loyalists, was in a deadlock, putting the entire war in a stalemate.
