The War Withouth Rivals took place in 734 BC in Ustalav. The conflict was between the counties of Ardeal and Varno, but many mercenary forces from Falkovnia, Darkon, and Nova Vaasa were used to fight this conflict of drawn-out trench warfare. The Great Upheaval interrupted the war, but Ustalav weathered that crisis much better than other domains. The war ended in 738 BC,[1] but neither side liked the results of the war. However, their warring is held in check by fear of Prince Aduard III's wrath.[2]

The war was ostensibly over a stretch of borderlands between Ardeal and Varno that ended up becoming so much scorched earth.[3] Whatever the cause, the Aspis Consortium exacerbated the conflict in order to engage in war profiteering.[4]
