The Luepolan War (Vierz: Lüpolenkrieg), known in Luepola and Vorochia as the Liberation War (Luepolan: Oslobodnočni rát; Vorochian: Визвольна війна; Romanized: Vyzvol'na vijna), was a war from 1976 to 1985 in Luepola. Broadly, the conflict was fought between the Vierz Empire and Luepolan revolutionaries who aimed to depose the government of the State of Luepola and expel Vierz forces from the country. The pro-Vierz Vorochian government was overthrown in the March 5 Coup d'Etat, prompting Vorochia to also be targeted by the Vierz invasion initially planned for solely Luepola.

The war began with the Luepolan March Uprising in 1976, and ended with the Treaty of Berbest in July 1985. Though the war encompassed Vorochia in addition to Luepola, international coverage focused largely on the fighting in Luepola, lending to the conflict's most commonly used name outside of Luepola and Vorochia. The Luepolan War remains the deadliest and most destructive war fought in Patyria since the Great War.
