War of Scorched Shields

On February 13th, 2022, Mosir-Sumari declared a state of war existed between them and the Jarldoms of Skjoldrbrodir after discovering a newly formed plot to overthrow Sumari's government, incriminating several high-ranking Valdic officials. This single occurrence would spiral out of control, facilitating the demise of the Valdic state in Eldham, the beginning of several wars, and the trial of the Covenant of Embers.

Antebellum – Prelude
The decline, and eventual collapse, of the Jarldoms of Skjoldrbrodir can be directly attributed to the emergence of the Sumari People from the deep places of the world. On January 10th, 2022, they declared the state of Mosir-Sumari on Valdic land and proceeded to demand Terrather, an entire Jarldom in Skjoldrbrodir. After failing to rally Phoros to their side, the Valds engaged in a multitude of negotiations, but eventually seceded the majority of the land to Mosir-Sumari and added the remainder to Nyr Vilhorn, another Jarldom.

Failed Coup d'état
While peace existed between the two realms, bad blood remained despite efforts to reconcile. The Hersir (General) of Skjoldrbrodir’s army, Loggylag, particularly held a grudge due to being the former Jarl of Terrather. Within several weeks of the establishment of peace, he recruited his fellow Valds, Ezee8, is simp, Kai999, and The Frog, to stage a coup d'état in Sumari. On February 2nd, the plot was put into motion, but by the next day the Sumari Kamuykur, Alyssa, was fully aware of the attempt.

Siege of Henafheim
However, undeterred by the formation of Gardenia, the Covenant pushed for war. On February ///, they struck the mountain fortress of Henafheim, and due to being disorganized, leaderless, and penniless, only a handful of vigilant Vikings stood against a tide of Covenant forces. Due to dark sorcery, which concealed them from sight, the few warriors present managed to stave off the inevitable for a short while. Within the hour however, the mountain halls were overtook and the fortress seized. Only four casualties, two on each side, occurred, but it was an uncontested Covenant victory.

Whether through disorganization or miscommunication, Henafheim was not occupied by the Covenant and it remained under Skjoldrbrodir’s control. No significant loss was dealt to either side through the siege, and it instead proved to be both irrelevant and misleading for the Covenant.
