990 ACA Counteroffensive

The War of 990 is a conflict between United Crowns of Syltor and Bardonia, being the culmination of the cold war, that began with Second West March Crisis in 976 ACA.

Prelude
Following the Second West March Crisis in 976 ACA, the Empire of Bardonia and the United Crowns of Syltör engaged in several proxy wars throughout Rathnir, eventually culminating in open conflict between the Bardonia sphere of influence and the West Lands Alliance when the Dreadfleet, and ally of Bardonia, Invaded Ombria. Tensions would continue to rise after the West Land's victory at the 1st battle of Waahi, and a declaration of war from Bardonia would be received by the UCS several days after this battle.

Preparations
Both sides prepared extensively for the war, with the UCS fortifying the war target if Tossagrad by digging a large trench and by extending it's walls, and filling the city with traps. The Bardonians would attempt several times to disrupt the defensive preparations, but the defenses would be completed before the battle despite their efforts.

Both sides would grind extensively for weapons, armor and other equipment.
