Settler's War / War of Conquest
Turn 1
Sparked by an unknown border conflict, the Settler's War (War of Conquest) was the culmination of multiple border skirmishers between the Sessauan colony of New Mille and Orcish Tribesmen from the Confederacy of Caexi. After discovering a valuable supply of wild horses within the borders of New Mille, the Confederacy of Caexi decided to send an army to enforce peace demands on the human colony. However, the Empire of Mille Sessau had been prompted to strengthen its military defenses in order to protect its colony from the continued raids of the Confederacy.
The war will likely decide the border between the colony of New Mille and the Confederacy of Caexi, and which of the two factions will control the key resources that rest between them. Depending on future events it may escalate into an invasion of Caexi or the eradication of New Mille.
Notes-- This war is currently between the Empire of Mille Sessau (humans) and the Confederacy of Caexi (elves & orcs)
-- The Empire of Mille Sessau is currently aware of all Confederacy of Caexi troops in New Mille. It may mobilize troops at any time.

Keye-- The Confderacy of Caexi's Cerberus Legion is two day's march from Keye, but does not knew where it is.
-- Four companies under Count Merci are two days away from reinforcing Keye.
