The Zelrad Wars [1] is a collective term referring to the skirmishes and wars involving the Kingdoms of Zelrad and Aerdy ending in -60 CY when Azharadian the Great conquered the lands of present-day Naerie.
Timeline
- First Zelrad War—-143 CY
- "The Kingdom of Zelrad clashes with Aerdy, attempting to seize territory in southern Ahlissa. The Zelrad host lays siege to the town of Hexpools."[1]
- Second Zelrad War—-110 CY
- "Persistent skirmishing along the border between Aerdy and Zelrad breaks into open war. Despite harassing raids by Zelrad forces, the Aerdi storm Ingmalt and invest Minetha. Only the outbreak of war between Nehron and Aerdy saves the Zelrad, as the Aerdi hosts are forced to lift the siege and withdraw to Ingmalt, as the Battle of a Fortnight's Length rages hundreds of miles to the north on the Harp River."[1]
- Third Zelrad War—-77 to -60 CY
- "King Salneh II of Zelrad launches an ill-fated campaign to retake Ingmalt from the Aerdi. He invests the city late in the year, hoping that the Aerdi will be unable to muster aid before the city falls.
- Hearing of the riches of the Iron Hills, Aerdy forge an alliance with the Dwur Kingdom of the Iron Hills. After moving forces to the northern edges of the hills and commencing mining operations there, the remnants of Suel Kingdom of the Zelred attack. A long and bloody war follows before the last Zelred stronghold of Karnosa is sacked and burned. They name Zelradton as regional capital."[1]
