The Punishment War was a preventive war of Arden and Rivandol against Othiria in 977 AC.
Build up
The kingdoms Rivandol and Arden viewed the kingdom of Othiria as a growing threat, with Othiria comiting more resources to their military. This promoted Rivandol and Arden to launch a pre-emptive attack on Othiria.
Beligrants
Attackers
- Rivandol: 18'000 men
- Arden: 11'000 men
Defenders
- Othiria: 17'000 men
- Thasslia: 1'200 men. Thesslia didn't have the resources or organisation to quickly raise their troupes, and contributed little to war.
Outcome
The war lasted 4 months before the attacking forces sieged and conquered Redford, at the time capital of Othiria. The treaty forced Othiria to give up their northern regions of the Black Range and Hero's Plains. This also pushed Othiria to move their capital to Drunah.
