The Battle of Upper Rodenburg was the first large scale skirmish between the Renatian Alliance and the Orenian Alliance during the War of the Two Emperors resulting in a decisive Orenian Victory after the two armies clashed on the fields of Upper Rodenburg

Prelude

A Saint's day before the battle the spies of Renatus had managed to gain information that the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska and The Golden City of Ves was planning to swear fealty to Joseph I, Holy Orenian Emperor with the intention to restore Horen-Marna to the imperial throne. Once rumors had begun to spread across the realm Antonius I, Emperor of Man who at the time was on a pilgrimage in Aeldin dissolved the Empire of Man.

Once the news had broke that the Empire was dissolved Renatian legionnaires began patrolling the roads between Reza and Ves to ensure that order was maintained and to possibly seize the Emperor-claimant. As a response small skirmishes between the two factions occured all over the countryside with no clear outcome other then chaos.

Joseph managed to make his way to Reza alongside troops from Ves and Fennic allies. There they linked up with the Haensetic forces and High Pontiff Everard V crowned him as Emperor of the Holy Orenian Empire in the Basilica of Fifty Virgins. During the same time as the coronation, Renatians loyal to the line of Pertinax rallied in Helena to engage the Orenians, together with their allies from the Rexdom of Krugmar.

Just after the coronation the Orenian army marched towads Helena where outside of Rodenburg they'd encounter the Renatian host.
