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 Grand Covenant) and the League of Veletz and their allies, consisting of the Horde and the Principality of Celia'nor. The conflict between the two factions had remained cold for decades prior to the start of the fighting, though the immediate spark for the war was the kidnapping of Princess Sibyl of Balian by the Ferrymen (an act for which they and the leadership of Veletz were excommunicated by High Pontiff Sixtus VI), and the murder of King Edmund II of Aaun by Frederick Aurelian and his Veletzian allies.
Following the battle at Whitespire, 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 destroying the League of Veletz for the many grievances they had caused in previous years. As the war progressed, the Covenant of Five was reformed into the Grand Covenant as the Kingdom of Norland, United Kingdom of Aaun, and Exhilic Kingdom of Númendil joined the fray.
