- 1637:
- Immediately following the end of the War of the Beards, the Kingdom of Norland declares war against the Holy Orenian Empire, hoping to avenge their defeat at the Sack of Seahelm nearly a century ago.
- The city of Adelburg is couped by Lord Canonius. Emperor John VI is slain and beheaded, his body paraded through the city.
- 1638:
- The Norlandic host engages the host of Imperial remnants outside the city of Adelburg, easily defeating them at the Battle of the Bloody Road.
- 1639:
- The Norlandic victory permitted them to siege the city of Adelburg, not knowing that the city had fallen to the newly established Kingdom of Renatus just a few years prior. Upon hearing of their mistake, King Javier lifted the siege and marched his forces back to Norland.
- Clashes between pagans within the Kingdom of Santegia and the Order of Saint Lucien, in which Lord Demetrios Palaiologos was murdered, cause King Leo I to exile Canonist clergy and denounce High Pontiff Everard IV.
- Everard IV declares Holy Crusade against the Kingdom of Santegia and the Kingdom of Norland.
- Major skirmishes occur, resulting in multiple primarily around San Adrian, resulting in victories for the Crusaders.
- 1640:
- The Axionite Coalition is silently disbanded.
- The Crusaders take the offensive, marching their combined hosts out from the city of Adelburg. They meet the Norlanders in combat once more on the bloody road, resulting in a decisive victory for the Crusaders in the Battle of Rochdale, leaving Norland crippled for further attacks.
- King Leo I and the High Pontiff come to terms resulting in Kingdom of Santegia joining side with the crusaders.
- Javier Ruric steps down as King passing it down to his son Jevan Ruric due to old age, and the Crusade.
- 1641:
- After winning the Battle of Rochdale, the Crusaders march towards Norland's capital city, Vjorhelm, besieging it leading towards a Crusader victory.
