Border Conflict

The Border Conflict (国境紛争 Kokkyō Funsō) was a series of conflicts between the Scarlet Moon Empire and the City-States of Jowston.

Information

The "Border Conflict" in the history of the Scarlet Moon Empire refers to the invasion of the empire's northern lands by the armies of South Window and Tinto Principality. These two city-states were members of the City-States of Jowston, located to the empire's north, and aimed to expand their territory.

During the 446 War of Succession, the City-States took advantage of the civil war and advanced south. Once Barbarossa Rugner had secured the throne, he would begin a campaign to expel the invaders.

This conflict would last until 448 solar calendar, when the Kalekka Incident took place. The outrage from the destruction of Kalekka would reignite flagging imperial morale, resulting in the total expulsion of the Jowston army from imperial lands soon after.

Though not part of the Border Conflict, the armies of South Window and Tinto would attempt a similar invasion during the Gate Rune War, temporarily occupying lands in Senan in 456. Again, the Jowston forces would be expeled following the conclusion of the war, this time by the new Toran Republic in 458.
