Raids of South Eastern Ecros was multiple front war. Took place between 668-673 AD. After the fall of Romanya, more smaller nations rose up, which led Norse explorers, traders and warriors, the latter known in modern scholarship as Vikings, to sail most of Southern Ecros. As a result of declining profitability of old trade routes drove the Reykanies to seek out new, more profitable ones. Trade between Southern Ecros and the rest of Ecros may have suffered after the Romanyan Empire lost its Eastern provinces in the 6th century, and the expansion of Islam in the 7th century may have reduced trade opportunities within Eastern Ecros. Reykanes attacked to establish better trade routes.

Prelude

The Kingdom of Reykanes, a prosperous realm known for its extensive trade routes in Ecros, found itself in a precarious situation when two South Ecrosian countries, the kingdom of Pavulturilor and the Eleutherian League began disrupting their trade activities in the sea. Determined to reclaim their vital trade routes, the King of Reykanes initiated a daring raiding campaign. Reykanes set out on building a huge fleet of 125 ships.

Course of the war

In a calculated move, the navy of Reykanes set out to confront the Pavulturilori and Strechian raiders. The clash was fierce, and after a series of intense naval battles, the Kingdom of Reykanes emerged victorious. The defeated Pavulturilor forces suffered heavy losses, their raiding ambitions quelled by the resolute defenders. Reykanes started to heavily raid and pillage all coastal cities and towns, burning all of them in the process. Strechia received the worst treatment since their capital and other city was fully burned down.

Buoyed by their success against Pavulturilor, meanwhile heading home, the Kingdom of Reykanes, under the strategic guidance of their skilled commanders, decided to capitalize on their momentum. They turned their attention to the neighboring realm of Eleutherios, a land known for its formidable defenses and strategic importance.

The raid on Eleutherios proved to be a formidable challenge. The defenders put up a resilient resistance, skillfully utilizing their defensive structures and terrain advantages. The Kingdom of Reykanes faced significant setbacks and encountered numerous obstacles throughout the campaign. However, through perseverance and tactical acumen, they managed to make significant headway.

In the end, against all odds, the Kingdom of Reykanes emerged triumphant. The defenders of Eleutherios, despite their valiant efforts, were overwhelmed by the relentless onslaught. The spoils of victory included not only the reestablishment of the coveted trade routes but also a newfound sense of pride and accomplishment for the Kingdom of Reykanes. However Eleutherios wasnt as raided and pillaged as much as Pavulturilur.
