The Second Atlas Coalition War, or colloquially known to Renatian nationalists as the War of Courlandic Aggression is a conflict spanning much of Southern Atlas between the Anti-Renatus Alliance and the Crown of Renatus-Marna and their allies.
Prelude
The Second Atlas Coalition War can be traced back to the resentful House of Burgundar, formerly a prominent vassal of the Crown of Renatus-Marna. King Aurelius I of Renatus-Marna had permitted the Margrave of Styria, Mariusz Horen to engage in an inter-vassal with the Margravate of Ostmark, the borderlands ruled by the House of Burgundar. Mariusz was spurred on by what he believed to a slight against the House of Horen and the Renatian Codes of Honor. In the brief conflict, Margrave Eimar was siezed and brought before the Royal Court, and was promptly executed for his transgressions. For some time, it was believed that Eimar's death would bring in newblood, in which a new Burgundar would ascend and the rift between the Ostmark and the Crown be mended.
However, these hopes were crushed when the now widowed Aldyth var Burgundar, wife to the late Margrave, relinquished her territories to the hands of Tobias II Staunton, who had proclaimed himself King of Courland before the disgruntled Ostmarkian nobility and Courlandic remnants. Tobias vowed to combat what he viewed to be the Renatian 'menace'. However, the Crown of Renatus-Marna had seen much of its southern border territories usurped from under them. The Crown of Renatus-Marna set up organizing a diplomatic meeting on the neutral grounds of Curon Bridge. However, King Tobias refused to come to terms and instead mustered his forces in his new seat of White Peak.
War would be had. Whereas King Tobias's force consisted of local levies, the Renatian army was organized as a permanent fighting force. Thus, they were quickly amassed on the border with Ostmark. The Crown would launch several incursions into their former territory, being reinforced by allied forces pouring in from the East and the North.
