The Cartref Mor Uprising was a internal conflict between the self-proclaimed Kingdom of Faer'hin and the Kingdom of Norland. The war began when the Lord of Cartref Mor, Aurelion Marsyr, declared the creation of the Adunian Kingdom of Faer'hin. Faer'hinian soldiers would go on to capture a Norlandic Keeper which would officially spark the armed conflict.

Prelude
After alleged mistreatment of the Adunian people at the hands of the Norlandic government, Lord Aurelion of Cartref Mor convened with his supporters to decide on a course of action. Despite the Norlandic government firmly stating that no mistreatment took place, Lord Aurelion rallies the Adunian people and declares the independence of the Kingdom of Faer'hin. When Aurelion tried to gain the support of Clan Kvitravn in secret, Chieftain Dominic Kvitravn rejected Aurelion and quickly informed King Odin Freysson of the Adunian intentions. With the Norlandic government now being aware of the independence of Cartref Mor and their intentions to expand their borders to encompass parts of the Norlandic southern border, the War was in full swing. Norlandic forces quickly went to work with tunnels connecting to Cartref Mor being caved in, bridges being burned, and forward camps being set up. In response, soldiers of Faer'hin captured a keeper of the Red Faith by the name of Grigori, who was well loved within the Norlandic community. King Odin ordered a force commanded by Marshal Ciaran Vildr and other Norlandic captains to rescue the keeper, thus starting the bloodshed of the war.
