The Frankenlisch-Cassadia War was a conflict fought in northern Acheron between 1744 and 1749 by the Kingdom of Frankenlisch and the Empire of Cassadia. Fought primarily in the Frankenlischian Mount Zeon Colony, the war became a part of the wider King Malcom's War and ended in 1749 with the Summit of Henbane.

Background

Frankenlischian settlement in north-western Acheron began in 1639 with Sir Henry Barfleur's Lorraine Expedition which established a colony on King Edric's Island. The Lorraine colony failed within a year and disbanded but a fresh expedition was launched under Sir Cecil Walshingham as soon as the colonists returned. Walshingham's Acheron Expedition established a new colony in the area, the first Frankenlischian colony on the Acheronian mainland, named New Gestoria in 1641. In 1649, the puritan Church of Zeon obtained a warrant from Edric III of Frankenlisch to establish a colony in the region. Bolstered by the efforts of Zeonite pilgrims, Frankenlischian colonisation in northern Acheron sped up and, over the course of the following 90 years, Mount Zeon Colony grew exponentially.

Frankenlischian expansion ended in 1735 as settlers reached the Whitetail Mountains and were shocked to discover outposts of the powerful Empire of Cassadia, a large nation on the eastern coast of Acheron.
