ZNR-Ehrengard Conflict

#L530

Overview

The ZNR-Ehrengard Conflict was a pivotal war between the Zatrian National Republic (ZNR) and the Ehrengard Empire during the early days of Landfall-530 - Noble Blood. Sparked by territorial disputes and political differences, the conflict highlighted Ehrengard’s expansionist ambitions and the ZNR’s fierce resistance.

Key Events

• The Emberscar Campaign:
  Ehrengard’s initial push into ZNR territory, led by Lord Commander Klein Moretti, aimed to secure the resource-rich Emberscar Basin. The ZNR’s guerrilla tactics delayed the Empire’s advance but came at great cost.
• Avery Rosendahl’s Defection:
  The turning point came when Avery R. Ehrveil, a high-ranking ZNR officer, defected to Ehrengard. Her defection brought her loyal division with her and undermined ZNR morale.
• The Fall of the ZNR:
  After a series of decisive battles, the ZNR capitulated, and its lands were integrated into Ehrengard as the Duchy of Varenholde. Avery was later revealed to be Avery Ehrveil, heir to the Ehrveillian Dynasty, in what many saw as a calculated move by the Empire to consolidate power.

Propaganda

The conflict was initiated over anti-Ehrengard Empire propaganda posted by the Zatrian National Republic. A few such posters can be found below. Note the use of red and purple, as they are the heraldic colors of the ZNR and Ehrengard respectively.
