The Battle of Adria was the returning battle of the Rubern War. For years, The Holy Orenian Empire & The Alliance of Independent States went without a notable skirmish. The Battle of Adria was a reminder to the world that even with both factions sitting behind their walls, the war was still on. The Duchy of Morsgrad, The Principality of Rubern & The Sultanate of Al-Faiz made up the majority of the alliance force while only The Holy Orenian Empire & The Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska opposed them. The two factions clashed on the 7th of Harren's Folly, 1753 on the outskirts of The County of Harligen; the seat of the former imperial general Leonard de Ruyter.
