Årania-Lanborg War
The Årania-Lanborg war, also called War against Årania and War of Dignity was a war between Årania and its southern neighbour Hófasviði. The war was started by Einar after he thought Åranians have had caused the Fire of Lanborg, which destroyed multiple archives and districts of the city. Researchers later found out that that was Åranians did not cause the fire.

Causes
In -98Ð, a big part of the city of Lanborg burnt to ashes in the Fire of Lanborg. Inside of the massive destroyed part of the city was the city archive, also erasing about 300Ð of Lanborgian history and culture. This made the in -96Ð-coronated Ari II furious, as he remembered his childhood in the destroyed areas. The father Ari II forced to rebuild the entire district (Litasveit and others), yet Ari II wasn't happy with this action and wanted to punish for the grief. With his irresponsible behaviour during his chancellorship, he caused two megainflations, banned the usage of Tungmal and Åranian on public signs and stopped teaching them in schools, threatened to raise taxes if he was criticized and secretly grew an army.
Ari II always believed Åranians caused the Fire of Lanborg, so when he fell fatally ill in -81Ð, his last decree was for his son Einar to start a war against Årania. The young and impressionate Einar didn't want to embarass his father, so he followed the advice and started the war in -67Ð.
