* Battle of Hacica
* Raid of Lonruil

Over 100 ships from a faraway land made a beachhead on the shores of the Ostirunans, a decentralized people who weren't known for their fighting abilities, but rather for their focus on trade and protection from their southern neighbor, Lonruil. Lonruil was home to the Lonruillians, one of the strongest peoples in Ameth due to their significant naval power and population. As these ships landed, approximately 7,000 troops disembarked, led by Pylenor of Serina, a warlord from Serina. Pylenor planned to establish his new kingdom here. Leading his army inland, Pylenor encountered a small force of about 500 troops, led by Vetericus, the Chief of the Ostirunans, who had been elected by the smaller tribes to confront this threat. Negotiations between Vetericus and Pylenor broke down quickly, as Pylenor denied all requests and prepared for battle. Vetericus had earlier sought aid from the Lordship of Lonruil. Both sides readied themselves just as Pylenor's force prepared to engage. Meanwhile, the Lonruillians arrived with a force of 15,000 troops, led by Lord Theodore. Theodore joined forces with Vetericus, and their combined army faced Pylenor's force. Pylenor had 500 elite Serina cavalry, which he intended to use to his advantage due to the lack of cavalry among his opponents. He positioned his heavily armored infantry with archers hiding behind them. Despite Theodore's elite archers, most of the arrows were blocked by shields. When Pylenor's infantry closed in, he ordered his archers to target the light infantry of the Lonruillians, causing devastating casualties. Following this, Pylenor commanded his infantry to charge the enemy head-on while leading the cavalry in an assault from behind. The battle turned against Theodore's forces, and realizing this, he began a retreat with his infantry. At this critical moment, Pylenor and his cavalry charged the Lonruillian back lines. Theodore attempted to form a defensive formation but was fatally struck in the head by an arrow, leading to his instant demise. Vetericus and his remaining army retreated as the Lonruillians were slaughtered to the last man. After this decisive victory, Pylenor had lost only around 600 troops, while the Lonruillian army was entirely destroyed. Riding high on this triumph, Pylenor marched south into Lonruil, devastating the land. From there, when he reached the sea, he went north until finding a suitable piece of land, which he claimed for the Kingdom of Acrea.
