    Military action

    The One-League War is a war fought between the Barony of Osset and the city-states of Narina. It is called The One-League War as very little land was ever captured and held by either force, the war was more of a series of battles occurring in the same One-League area of the Shrouded Reach. Both sides suffered significant losses and signed a cease-fire after about one year.
