Phoenix War

Summary

The Phoenix War is an ongoing military conflict between Ramanthas and Cirithas. The war began in late Hausos 3173 when Cirithasi knights were caught sneaking across the Ramanthi border after a phoenix destroyed one of their army camps. This became known to chroniclers as the Phoenix Incident. The involvement of the government of Ramanthas is hotly disputed by both sides, though all informed observers agree that a cult known as the Burning Path was responsible for summoning the creature.

    First Siege of Locë
    Military action

    On 9 Deghome, the Ramanthi army arrives at the city of Locë and captures the nearby villages. Ships from Rohiz and Jesham arrive to blockade the city's port, signaling their support of Ramanthas. On the 15th, Locë is captured after Ramanthi forces exploit a weakness in the wall's magical protection and open a hole large enough for a small group of operatives to sneak in and force open the gates. The attackers make quick work of the outer city and capture the citadel a week later.

    Battle of Locë
    Military action

    At the turn of the new year, Athrada officially joined the war by sending a large army to Locë. The force used powerful illusion magic to appear much smaller until the last moment, then destroyed the comparatively small force sent to repel them. After the rout, the rest of the Feren Section fled, lifting the siege.
