The Third Virnosian War

Military action

This is a stupid, pointless, battle! -Horace the Songbird

After the Sunless Day Atresa faced a successful assassination attempt against the Primor. The assassins used Elemental Flintlocks, a Virnosian weapon. This led to an increase in hostility between the two nations.   This eventually bubbled over as Lord Thannor, the loser of the Primoral election, was used as an excuse to invade Atresa. He gathered almost a full third of the Virnosian army and invaded two locations: Brox Crossing and Castle Hyperios, leading to The Battle of Castle Hyperios and The Battle of Brox Crossing.   Both battles went the way of the Atresan's in a serious way with the introduction of a new Atresan weapon: Tanks. Lord Thannor was killed by Guild Hyperios at the Battle of Castle Hyperios and the battle was over. Brox Crossing was won by the timely intervention of, of all factions the Torva'Ne.   In the aftermath of the battle the new Primor, Tutiro Cam, took the high road and began sending aid to Virnos, who suffered an unexplained magical explosion at the same time as the invasion, as well as an ongoing rebellion in the Virnosian poor quarter.   This has led to a cooling of relations with the two factions, but many people call these two battles the Third Virnosian War, and this one was an unmitigated success for Atresa. Though most Virnosians viciously decline this assertion.
