History of Fortuna: Difference between revisions

The next century would see multiple conflicts between the Fortunan Empire and the political states of Northern Aspirian Isles, known as the Medium Wars. Most of the conflicts would be between the Fortunan Empire and the Kingdom of Ambravia over the Medium Isles. The wars would start off between the Fortunan Empire and the Republic of Telga in 1151 when the government of Telga denounced Fortuna's claim to the islands of Opali and Grenato, leading to their fleets clashing with each other. Although gaining the upper hand with the total annihilation of the Telganese's ships, Verenzio II agreed to end the war with the Teglanese in 1163 and set up a peace deal between them. This fragile peace would break down soon after as Fortunan and Telganese forces clashed with each other once more in 1170. Verenzio II would not live to see the end of the war with the Telganese, falling to illness in 1175 and leading to his eldest son, Verenzio III, to succeed him. During Verenzio III's reign, he would successfully defeat the Telganese in 1178 and conquering their islands. This would immediately lead to further conflict, this time with the Kingdom of Ambravia who had been financially supporting the Republic of Telga and were outraged with the result of the Fortunan Empire further spreading their influence northward. In 1182, Ambravia launched a naval invasion of the Telga Isles, successfully pushing the Fortunans out. In retaliation, Verenzio III led numerous raiding campaigns against the Ambravians before finally leading an actual invasion campaign of the island in 1197. The campaign would immediately fall apart as Fortunan and Ambravian troops clashed during the Battle of Tanta in 1198 where Verenzio III fell in battle and the Fortunan forces were pushed out.
