Background
The Battle of Hallasholm was a battle in the ongoing Skandian-Temujai Wars. It was fought nearby the capital of Skandia, Hallasholm, between a Temujai invasion force and the Skandian defenders, who were assisted by a group of Araluen allies which included Princess Cassandra of Araluen herself.
The battle led to a Skandian and Araluen victory, and The Temujai retreated back to the Eastern Steppes. After the battle the Treaty of Hallasholm was signed, declaring the peace and alliance between Skandia and Araluen.
History
The treaty was founded after the Battle of Skandia. Ranger Halt O’Carrick initially suggested. Princess Cassandra of Araluen agreed to sign on behalf of her father. Newly elected Oberjarl Erak Starfollower agreed to the proposition, and signed the treaty.
