The Third Crusade was a small conflict that was initially between the Kingdom of Norland and the Holy Orenian Empire, though it quickly grew to be a large scale conflict involving most of the major powers of the world.
Prelude
Major Confrontations
- 1638 - Battle of the Bloody Road - Norlandic Victory
- 1640 - Second Battle of the Bloody Road - Crusader Victory
Timeline
- 1637:
- Immediately following the end of the War of the Beards, the Kingdom of Norland declares war against the Holy Orenian Empire, hoping to avenge their defeat at the Sack of Seahelm nearly a century ago.
- The city of Adelburg is couped by Lord Canonius. Emperor John VI is slain and beheaded, his body paraded through the city.
- 1638:
- The Norlandic host engages the host of Imperial remnants outside the city of Adelburg, easily defeating them at the Battle of the Bloody Road.
- 1639:
- The Norlandic victory permitted them to siege the city of Adelburg, not knowing that the city had fallen to the newly established Kingdom of Renatus just a few years prior. Upon hearing of their mistake, King Javier lifted the siege and marched his forces back to Norland.
- Clashes between pagans within the Kingdom of Santegia and the Order of Saint Lucien cause King Leo I to exile Canonist clergy and denounce High Pontiff Everard IV.
- Everard IV declares Holy Crusade against the Kingdom of Santegia and the Kingdom of Norland.
- Minor skirmishes occur, resulting in multiple victories for the crusaders.
- 1640:
- The crusaders take the offensive, marching their combined hosts out from the city of Adelburg. They meet the Norlanders in combat once more on the bloody road, resulting in a decisive victory for the crusaders, leaving Norland crippled for further attacks.
