The Silanian War

The Silanian War is the main conflict of this project, it started in 933.

Origins
Thesia, demanded that Virskaia gave them Silania, a province with a very high Thesian population that was originally theirs in the past. This was a very useful province for Virskaia since they acquired it in the 3rd Succession War, an old conflict which involved most of the continent.

Virskaia rejected the demand and was forced into a war with Thesia, which claimed the province as theirs but surely wouldn't stop until their enemy was consumed. The Virskaian war machine held well to modern standards but still had outdated equipment and didn't have time to mobilize their actual counterparts in time, while Thesia's military buildup was covered in secrecy until the start of the conflict. Their technology was at the same level as their enemy's but, unlike them, they had time and resources to equip their forces earlier.

First weeks
The first major event of the conflict was the Battle of Helsin Fields, where the Thesian forces crossed the defensive lines of Virskaia.
