The 1st Silk War

Seeking a new way to inflate his fortune, Duke Jean-Pierre of Khai sends 100 of his best men to New Haven to try and buy silk worms which have never left New Haven and is source for half their wealth. When they are refused, they hatch a plan to steal it.
Despite losing 20 men, they manage to take 10 silkworms out of their habitat and sneak them onto a ship. The leaders of New Haven are furious and demand Emperor Primus return the silk worms and have Jean-Pierre plead for his forgiveness publicly.
Aware of the great riches silkworms could bring to his Empire, Primus refuses.
On the 3rd of August 669AD, General Rogar of New Haven attacks Damontor with a force of 20,000 men and quickly overwhelms the garrison.
Stunned by this sudden move, the Emperor orders the Dukes of Herzland, Valtiere and Khai assemble their armies in Sturmhaffen to await the Imperial Army.
Not waiting around, General Rogar marches on Adlerfurt and captures it after a 3 week siege, securing his supply lines and the crossing.
