Sussurrian War

The Sussurrian War was a Tilean conflict, initially fought between the Principalities of Luccini and Monte Castello, and later dominated by the emergent Sartosan Republic. The War began over the two Principalities’ competing claims to the Sussurrio Wood and the sea surrounding the southern tip of the Tilean Peninsula. Over the span of the following year, the mercenary hosts of Monte Castello won a string of victories against the numerically superior Luccini in the Wood and on the Plain of Luccini, forcing their enemies to fall back and fortify their positions. Meanwhile, the Sartosan Pirate Lords interfered heavily in the naval fighting, cutting supply lines, siezing vessels from both sides, and even intervening in battles. With victory seemingly assured, Monte Castello dispatched a mercenary host to invade Sartosa with the goal of burning the city itself and scattering the Pirate Lords’ fleets.
