The Aevos Coalition War is an ongoing large-scale conflict, that spanned across the Aevosi Heartland, Eastern Aevos, and the territories of the Kingdom of Haense. It began in 155 S.A and was fought between two major coalitions, the Covenant of Five (later the Covenant of Eight) and the League of Veletz and their allies, consisting of the Horde and the Principality of Celia'nor. The conflict was the result of the regicide of Edmund II, King of Aaun at the hands of Frederick Aurelian, the King-Emeritus of Oren. While Aurelian held his loyalty to the influential Margrave of Stassion, a vassal of the United Kingdom of Aaun, his actions were primarily supported by the League of Veletz who was once a principle ally to Aaun.
Following the proclamation of the death of the King of Aaun, the Kingdom of Haense, Kingdom of Balian, Grand Kingdom of Urguan, Commonwealth of the Petra, and the Viceroyalty of Hyspia joined together to form the Covenant of Five [1], an international coalition with the intent of avenging the death of Edmund II and destabilizing the League of Veletz. Their war goal became Fort Breakwater, the seat of The Ferrymen, a mercenary group and terrorist organization previously employed by several members of the Covenant, now residing within the territories of Veletz. However, with the great migration to Aevos, the Ferrymen began an indiscriminate raiding campaign against many members that would later go on to make the Covenant, making them a primary target for the wrath of any coalition.
As the war progressed, the Covenant of Five was reformed into the Covenant of Eight as the Kingdom of Norland, United Kingdom of Aaun, and Exhilic Kingdom of Númendil joined the fray.
