Line 119:
In 2093 AA, eight years after the end of the First Asendavian War Over Succession, the Principality of Skeosia on Asendavia's western border was also facing internal strife. The heir to Skeosia, Prince Asmund, fled the country after his father, Prince Einar, had ordered his arrest for Asmund's supposed role in the failed attempt on Einar's life. Having originally fled to the Duchy of Zhelelovka within Asendavia, he petitioned Duke Gulbrand to give him an army and gold to depose his father, but was denied his request and cast out, where he proceeded to make his way to Stromharad. Once in Stromharad, he petitioned the Twin Kings, Gunnar and Adelar, to help him take what was rightfully his, and that in return, he would swear fealty to them. Although hesitant at first, Adelar was convinced by Gunnar, the more militarily-minded of the two, to accept the petition. Thus, two months later, war was declared upon Skeosia. <br />
With little resistance, the Asendavian Army marched into Skeosia and quickly laid siege to its capital, Trondstrand. Unbeknownst to the Asendavians though, Prince Einar had sent out messages to many of the other principalities, asking for help against Asendavia. The Principalities of Khekantis, Ibrintis, and Ikelon responded to Skeosia's cry for help, mustering their armies together and marching towards Trondstrand to relieve the beleaguered city. Kings Gunnar and Adelar only received news of the Coalition Army a few days before it would arrive to relieve the besieged city. With the Coalition Army larger than their own, Kings Adelar and Gunnar ordered a retreat into the mountains on the Skeosian-Asendavian border. Hesitant to chase after the Asendavians, the Coalition Army stayed at Trondstrand for a few days before giving chase. During this time, King Gunnar had fortifications built in the mountain passes that connected Asendavia to Skeosia while King Adelar went back to Stromharad with Prince Asmund in order to muster more men to fend off the Coalition. A week later, the Coalition Army arrived.
