The '''Gothic War''', MC 2026-30 , was a major military conflict primarily fought between the forces of the [[The Macabees|Golden Throne]] and the [[Scandinvan Empire]]. Although the war began in [[Theohuanacu]] after the instigation of a rebellion by the Scandinvans, the fighting quickly spread to [[Nicaro]] and Scandinvan-territory in [[Gholgoth]] after both countries suffered largescale armed invasions by the Golden Throne. The war ended in MC April 2030, with the signing of an alliance between the two warring powers in exchange for an end to the Scandinvan slave trade in [[Greater Dienstad]] and the complete withdrawal of Macabéan forces from Gholgoth. | {{Infobox Military Conflict | ||
