The War of Feso-cali Defense

Before the official formation of Unyct, there was a growing nation called Sarashia, named for the ruling family. Sarashia's armies were on a conquest streak, taking control of territories covering most of the continent. Two small bordering nations, Ataica and Feso-cal, ally together as the Sarashia threat grew stronger.

The Conflict

Prelude

The Sarashia army is conquering lands at an alarming rate. The only thing standing between Sarashia and it's goal of manifest destiny are the tribal nations within Feso-cali and Ataican lands. As the army reaches the start of Feso-cali territory, they fall into a stalemate. Sarashia has underestimated the alliance between Ataica and Feso-cal, as well as the fighting ability of both nations.

Deployment

After calling in some backup, Sarashia sends in assassins to kill top political leaders of Feso-cal. In their success, they kill four warriors and a leader, and Ataica reacts quickly. An Ataican warrior named Subaya takes a leading position of Feso-cal, and works to protect their lands and people.

Subaya sends in fighters to tamper with common battlefields and the weapons of nearby Sarashia forces. Using silence spells and with small tampering groups, Feso-cali and Ataican forces manage to slip past Sarashia sights, and set magically concealed traps around their camps and in their weapon stocks.

The battles only last for seven weeks, and each side pushes the severity of magic use in battle. They use anything from burning blades to seeking arrows, and blinding light or stillness spells. It finally ends when a small group of Feso-cali and Ataican warriors manage to cut off the leader of the Sarashia forces in the area, Zaitalas Sarashia. Zaitalas's loss and the resilience of the allied nations is enough to make Sarashia reconsider, and refocus their attacks elsewhere.

Battlefield

The battle mainly takes place on the Feso-cali wastelands, huge plains stretching far into the distance and scattered with stones. The two armies camp far apart from each other--Feso-cal behind a rocky hill, and Sarashia out in the open on the horizon.

Conditions

As is common in Feso-cali lands, the skies are clouded and there's a constant, chilling breeze from the north, where Ataica lies. The nights grow near freezing, just barely warm enough to keep snow from falling.

Outcome

Sarashia stayed out of Feso-cali tribelands long enough for the nation to build up defenses, creating a stronger military so that Ataican forces may return to their home. The two form a strong alliance with each other.

Aftermath

Feso-cal and Ataica are seen as threats not to be underestimated. Before these battles, not many in the world knew they even existed. On the other side, Sarashia lost one of their greatest military leaders, giving a hard blow to their troops' morale and way of conduct.
