Gorathic War (244)

The Gorathic War was an invasion of territory formerly held by the Gorathic Kingdom by the Kingdom of Hybretia in late 244. The war was delayed by an outbreak of the Gorathic Sweating Sickness, but began in early November. 
Hybretian Missionaries had succesfully converted a number of clans and tribes to the Hybretian pantheon after claiming the ancient Gorathic messiah, Viserothis, was the mortal son of Hellerian and a Gorathic woman.
Fighting broke out almost immediatly between the various tribes, with the Eresus and Ronall fighting eachother, a Viserothic push into Clan Gornar, and a Hybretian invasion of the Slathis clan and Viserothic territory. The Kygonese city of Ephesus, the planned new capital, had been evacuated due to an outbreak of Gorathic Sweating Sickness, and the Viserothic tribe attacked the city out of opportunity.
=== Battle of Ephesus ===
Hybretian troops arrived in Ephesus midday on the 21st, and quickly began slaughtering attacking Viseroths. The HWS Arthurious provided support from the coast. Hybretian soldiers forced the Viseroths further and further back until they were within firing range of the Arthurious. After the smoke cleared, most of the Viseroths were dead, and the rest surrendured. Following this battle, the Empire of Kygon swore vengeance and joined the war on the Hybretian side.
=== Invasion of Slathic Land ===
Following the victory at Ephesus, the Hybretian army sent a contingent to harass remaining Viseroths in the area, while the bulk of the Hybretian forces in the east began marching to meet the Hybretians in the south-west. The invasion brought them through the Slathis Clan, which fought the invaders but did not fare well against the Hybretian guns and artillery. 
The Hybretian Eastern army got lost in their push into Slathic land, but the Southern Army under command of General Korza stayed on target and routed the Slathics in late December.
=== Viserothic and Jodithine Raid on Ephesus ===
Novacian and Kygonese troops under command of Colonel Bradley found themselves under attack by Viseroths, Jodithine, and Godalian warriors, who managed to kill a number of defenders in Ephesus before they lost their advantage and were mowed down.
=== Jodithine Offensive ===
The Hybretians pursued a front in Jodithine land after the defeat of the Slathi. The front commenced almost immediatly, and contact with the Jodithine occurred on the 17th. On the 20th, the Hybretians managed to defeat an ambush by retreating to high ground, and by the 25th, the main host of the Army had snuck past the attackers and began raiding Jodithine settlements.
