The First Hells War (mar 22, 1273 – jun 2, 1320)

Description:

Oipienta, Ecrad, Etrill, Daprania vs Uytile, Larifien, Grotian, Klertinia
Indecisive Victory

When news got out that Larifien and Grotian decalred war on Oipienta, a mass exodus of Oipientians living near the borders of Grotian-Oipienta and Larifien-Oipienta fled to Western Oipienta. These people were mainly farmers and as a result, the Northern and Southern Oipientian economies plummeted as these farmers were the only thing keeping the region alive. However, Western Oipienta was now the powerhouse of the country.

The war was started by Oipienta because Uytilian warriors kept raiding, pillaging, and scorching the farms and the country sides of Eastern Oipienta. This is and what Girodhel of the King's Council said that Oipienta is weak is what pushed Javik to declare war, to stop Uytile from hurting Oipienta and to show the world that Oipienta will never be weak.

Most of the battles occurred on Oipientian soil, in the north, east and south which led to mass devastation of Oipientian farmlands and territories. However, none of the invading armies were able to reach deep into the kingdom, thus most of the major Oipientian cities survived unharmed. The Grotian armies managed to get the farthest into Oipienta, and laid waste to the countryside of the Eteivan region. This path of destruction plunged the region into a century long economical downturn and with the Second Hells War, the region suffered even more.

Unrest from the nobility in Atswam and Thes that came from the Oipientian nobility ignoring led to the development of the Southern Council (the first Velzen independence "movement" since the annexation of the Kingdom of Eteiva). Lack of farmable lands took a toll on the lower classes which further pressured the local nobility, who had to deal with uprisings and riots, to continue to plead to the Oipientian monarchy for support.
