The War of the Elven Alliance, also called the Elven Coalition War, is an ongoing major-scale war between the Elven Alliance, which seeks to put Ivarielle I on the throne of Haelun'or, and the Silver State of Haelun'or. The War involves almost every Elven nation within Almaris with the only exception being the Vale of Nevaehlen, which preferred neutrality in the Elven-wide conflict.

Prelude

Several years before the official spark of the war, an Elfess by the name of Ivarielle laid claim to the Haelun'orian throne. The basis for her claim was her exceptional ability in combat, and preached that Haelun'or needed a strong-minded ruler to lead Haelun'or out of its isolationism and into the future. The Sohaer at the time, Braxus Ni'leya, decried Ivarielle as a lunatic and traitor to the High Elven people. Despite the denouncement by the Haelun'orian government, Ivarielle managed to successfully gain the support of the Kingdom of Norland, Kingdom of Haense, Grand Kingdom of Urguan, Holy Orenian Empire, Crown of Elvenesse, Principality of Fenn, Principality of Nor'asath, Silver Lubba Band, and a handful of others. However, the only nations willing to back Ivarielle's claim militarily were the aforementioned Elven nations due to Urguan, Norland, Haense, and Oren being caught up in their own war at the time of the war's spark (See: Urguani-Orenian War). Even so, diplomacy was attempted on multiple occasions between Ivarielle and Haelun'or, though none would lead to any meaningful progress. After years of preparation the Elven Alliance made their pact official, thus signing the Pact of Silver and Steel [1]. Soon after, the Alliance officially declared war on the Silver State of Haelun'or with the Principality of Fenn leading the charge [2].
