The Aevos Coalition War is an ongoing large-scale conflict that spans the majority of the Aevosi heartlands with the notable exception of the United Kingdom of Aaun. After numerous diplomatic incidents between various nations and the Veletzians, specifically the Veletzian vassals known as the Ferrymen, a number of nations joined together to form the Covenant of Five.
