Ecrupto Campaign

The Ecrupto Campaign was a Zefranian military campaign during the brief Vanyr-Zefranian War, it took place from March 13th to March 16th 2024.
== Prelude ==
At the end of December 2023, the Valdaran government, and Delorian regional government made an executive decision to return key Zefranian cultural cities and territories back to the Zefranian Government in Exile. 
=== Adenorian Dispute ===
This led to complications with a piece of land known as the Adenorian peninsula which had been claimed and completely integrated into the Vanyrian Heartlands, the leader of which, Don the Red was completely opposed to letting any Zefrania's existence much less their original government being put back in charge of the different territories. He had however fallen out of the favour with the Valdaran government, which had essentially kept his region alive, after a scandal involving him turning sensitive information over to Capna's Coalition, whom Valdara was at war with.
Before the Zefranian government was given permission to return and de-facto independently administer their lands again, a deal had been setup between the native Tegridians on the Adenorian peninsula and Don the Red where they would be permitted to reestablish their old town of Tegridy. 
This deal was declared null and void by Don the Red when he heard of the Valdaran government's deal with the Zefranian government. He therefore halted the withdrawal, keeping the main city, which was heavily fortified, this left the Tegridians with the relatively undeveloped northern lands of Adenoria. Zefrania was angered by this, and supplied Tegridian partisans with weapons and manpower, the Tegridian partisans eventually managed to boot the Vanyrian administration out of the main-city, progress would swiftly be halted however as the Vanyrians, before ordering a general retreat burned the town to the ground, leaving only its walls standing. 
The Zefranian government, which had reorganized itself as the Grand Vilayet of Zefrania began plotting to completely exterminate the Vanyrian Heartlands and reclaim their old Ecruptan lands which had long been a thorn in their side. The Zefranian Vilayetii Satüs Hejetür reached out to his allies and established an expeditionary force led by EightWhisper, which main purpose was to raid Ecrupto, and disturb Vanyrian supply lines. This worked, however a full-scale military operation could not be comprised by the Expeditionary Force on its own.
