Leythe-Akratian War

The Leythe Akratian War is an ongoing conflict in the south of Sparwood, starting on March 20th. Akratia claims that the city of Leythe is a rebel territory, while Leythe claims it was never a part of Akratia.

The First Battle: Conducted on March 20th, MW_Neoz attempted to attack Leythe but Akratian forces were cut off in the Akratian city of Isheleryn. With superior gear and mercenaries, Akratia was driven out of the city by Leythe-ian forces. The Leythe-ians and their mercenaries then occupied Akrat (even storming the throne room) and 3 other towns in southern Akratia. MW_Neoz left as the Leythians invaded, and many of the Akratians held out in forts or were scattered across Rathnir. StubbornDucky of Leythe announced that the eastern portion of Akratia (everything east of the Auzsan territory) would become the state of Leythe, and he asked for Akratia to recognize the state and pay 80,000$ to them (this demand was later lowered to $30,000 after the second battle).

The Second Battle: The next day, MW_Neoz responded by building a large fort right outside of Leythe's territory. That afternoon, Leythe scaled the walls and killed the inhabitants without losing a single soldier. Estimates pit Akratian losses to be ~15 total killed, while Leythian losses were limited to one soldier dying a few times. Leythe attempted to enter negotiations with Akratia but instead they stalled and got more men back to the fort, making the battle roughly 3v8. A few more people were killed but ultimately MW_Neoz hid in his fort again while his soldiers pleaded for war gear back. After about half an hour of the Akratians not wanting to fight, Leythe finally unoccupied the fort and declared victory in the second battle.
