The 70 year war began when the FIC attempted to invade and overthrow the government of Drangholt, a border city of Sladovia. A bloody and drawn out war ensued as both sides pillaged, burned down cities, and murdered countless civilians. Neither army ever gained or lost a substantial amount of territory, but both suffered severe casualties. Sladovia erected a wall on their border to halt the FIC from invading their land. The FIC responded by erecting a wall of their own just 2 miles south of its twin to the north. A treaty was only considered after a Son of a Sladovian Barron and the daughter of a FIC councilman fell in love and desired to be married, allowing the two counties to counsel. The treaty effectively ended the fighting, but a heated hatred between the countries still exists.
