Second Virnosian War
Several decades after their first attempt Virnos once again tried to conquer their neighbor of Atresa.
This time Virnos was aided by a new weapon, the fearsome Knights of Virnos. Huge constructs several dozen feet tall and wielding magically forged weapons, the Knights of Virnos are fearsome weapons of war. It is unknown how the constructs work or are created, and Virnos guards this secret closely.
Despite their advanced technology the Atresan numbers and ability to call on the Guilds for aid still held the Virnosian’s at bay. Though this time the stalemate was a much harder win, and has left Atresa nervous what will happen at the next war with their rivals.
