'''Eidnár's War''', also known in [[Valkea]] as the '''Southern War''', was a conflict fought between the Kingdom of Valkea and the Exponential colony of Occidentes from 1700 to 1706, with the latter supporting the Rávdnár Confederation. Much of the fighting took place in the Duchy of Ostrothia. The war was a culmination of a period of growing tension between the two as Occidental settlers and armed militias began migrating into Ostrothia and southern Valkea, particularly those of the Rávdnár Confederation, which frequented between the two territories for much of the latter half of the 17th century. The conflict is named after Eidnár, the most prominent leader of the Rávdnár tribes. | '''Eidnár's War''', also known in [[Valkea]] as the '''Southern War''', was a conflict fought between the Kingdom of Valkea and the [[Empire of Exponent|Exponential]] colony of [[Occidentes Province|Occidentes]] from 1700 to 1706, with the latter supporting the Rávdnár Confederation.

Eidnár's War, also known in Valkea as the Southern War, was a conflict fought between the Kingdom of Valkea and the Exponential colony of Occidentes from 1700 to 1706, with the latter supporting the Rávdnár Confederation. Much of the fighting took place in the Duchy of Ostrothia. The war was a culmination of a period of growing tension between the two as Occidental settlers and armed militias began migrating into Ostrothia and southern Valkea, particularly those of the Rávdnár Confederation, which frequented between the two territories for much of the latter half of the 17th century. The conflict is named after Eidnár, the most prominent leader of the Rávdnár tribes.
The war began when Rávdnár forces, with tacit support from the Exponential colonial government, began attacking a number of Valkean forts and settlements in Ostrothia and Vikkland. Fighting would take place between Rávdnár and Valkean troops throughout these territories from 1700 to 1702. In February 1703, the Empire of Exponent through the colony of Occidentes intervened on behalf of the Exponential settlers living in Ostrothia, sending a sizable contingent to invade Valkea and force negotiations. However, they were hindered due to the difficult terrain of the Ostrothian marshes, and were ambushed by the Valkeans in the Battle of Kurkis. Exponential Occidentes would continue to invade Ostrothia throughout the remainder of the war, but with little success.
On the other hand, the Valkeans were struggling to defend against the Rávdnár, and the latter became more emboldened in their attacks. In August 1704, Eidnár gathered a significant host and attacked major Valkean strongholds in Vikkland, notably defeating Valkean troops at Brantevik. He later sacked Kiesimä, looting much of the city and setting portions of it ablaze - including the Kiesimä Cathedral. He moved his army north towards Limapaa, but was intercepted at the town of Seittu by < name > in March 1705. The Battle of Seittu ended with a Valkean victory and the death of Eidnár, dealing a significant blow to the Rávdnár.
Disorganized attacks from the Rávdnár continued through the remainder of the war, while the Valkeans expelled many Exponential militias and settlers from its territory. The following year, the Empire of Exponent and the Kingdom of Valkea negotiated a peace in 1706, which recognized Valkea's paramountcy over the Duchy of Ostrothia and marked the border that is still enforced between modern Ostrothia and the Aurora Confederacy.
