Aran-Asenti War

The Aran-Asenti War, also known as the Interim War of 1149-1150, was a war fought between the Republic of Aranwaën and the Great Duchy of Asentir. The war was largely fought over the control of silver production in the Red Mountains in Asenti territory but also over trade routes with the Dwarves. The war resulted in Araner victory and the annexation of all land south of the river Asentil, and the reduction of Asentir from a Great Duchy to a Duchy. It is part of the wider Wine Wars.
The war was extremely one-sided, lasting less than a year, from late 1149 to early 1150. The Asenti fought the Araners on several occasions but were always decisively defeated. The largest battle of the war was also its last, the Battle near Onanelh. The Asenti were outnumbered about two to one and were unable to resist the Araner attack. The war was remarkably tame for civilian populations which were largely unaffected by it, due to its short duration and Araner unwillingness to plunder land meant to be annexed.
