Second Leersog War

The Second Leersog War, also known as the Battle of Hetland, the Fall of Hetland, or the First Party's War (Syrvanian: Jest Partisya Wodoc), was a military conflict fought between Syrvania and the Kingdom of Hetland from the summer of 526 to the late summer or early spring of 527, and was one of the opening conflicts of the Westenlands Wars. The war began with a two-front invasion by Syrvania, ostensibly pursuing reparations for Hettic involvement in the Syrvanian Incursion. Per its name, it was the second major conflict fought between Syrvania and Hetland regarding control over the provinces of the Leersog region. Unlike the First Leersog War, fighting would continue into Hetland itself, and would culminate in the collapse of the Kingdom of Hetland, and the foundation of the Hettic Republic. According to many modern historians, the Second Leersog War saw the first practical implementation of modern combined arms maneuver warfare, and is often regarded as a turning point in a strategic paradigm which had prioritized more traditional, methodical tactics. It also saw the introduction and most significant use of the Independent Rapid Divisions of the Syrvanian army, as well as the first effective use of airborne infantry by Syrvania.

Background
The First Leersog War ended in 419 with the collapse of the Syrvanian economy, forcing Syrvania to disarm and make territorial concessions to Hetland. These concessions consisted of the Leersog provinces Urdow and Bersic, and Kravan, the three provinces west of the Zlowice River, thus putting the entirety of Leersog under Hettic rule.

Following the Third Spat, and the abdication of the throne by Syrvanian king Fedorik II, the Sovereigns' League made efforts to quell the influence of the Pan-Lusivakian Alliance in the Westenlands.
