The Skanarri War, also known as the Northern Invasion or the Tribal War is an ongoing conflict between the forces of the Kingdom of Norland and the united Skanarri tribes. The outbreak of the war was caused by Skanarri raiders entering the lands of Norland and beginning to attack Norlandic settlements, eventually occupying the town of Nueva Tierra. This led to an informal declaration of war by the Skanarri, who have continued to wage war against the Northern kingdom.
