The Battle of the Westmark was the sixth battle in the Aevos Coalition War. It was a failed campaign by the Grand Covenant to conquer the sparsely-settled Westmark Region in the League of Veletz. The Battle is well known for the Veletzian usage of lightly armored mounted archers, a tactic that whittled down the Covenant forces and led to a stunning Veletzian victory.
