The Red Pine Dispute
The otherwise unremarkable southern half of the state of Red Pine came under the occupation of Alvimian forces during the Third Alvimian-Euphemian War, which ended in AC 104. Since then, there has been nothing but animosity between the Euphemian natives in the occupied territory and the Alvimian military and settlers in the region. Waging a war of attrition for the past two centuries, the Free State Army is all that stands between the way of life of the Euphemian locals and total Alvimian occupation.
To the Alvimian government, however, the perspective is a very different one. The occupied territories, or as they are called by the Alvimians, 'Fronteira', are a vital point — withholding Euphemie's ability to construct a strategic pipeline into southern Ophir that would establish it as the dominant oil exporter on the continent. The fight has expanded beyond the small Euphemian state, however — within Alvimia, it is quickly becoming apparent the Free State Army isn't the biggest threat that exists to the great southern power.
