Prelude

The Hyspian-Bandit war was a minor conflict between the Kingdom of Hyspia and several small bandit groups. The war began after Cesar declared an outright war on banditry after an inconsequential raid on Tierre Natal by an unknown bandit group. The main goal of the Hyspians was to eradicate Banditry within its borders and to expand its sphere of influence over the smaller settlements nearby.
