The Battle of Alent is an ongoing conflict between the Magicracy of Alent and the Crimson Coalition, as well as their allies, taking place at the city of Alent in early winter in 1017 AE. It began with the arrival of the Coalition's army during the aftermath of the Threshold Riot from which the magicracy was still recovering. Since then the Coalition has been besieging Alent for over two weeks, controlling the northern and eastern areas surrounding the city while waiting for reinforcements to arrive from the south before they'll begin a joint and decisive assault on the city-state. Meanwhile the demonic Eastern Horde, Northern Horde and Southern Horde are also preparing to strike the city-state while Alent and the Coalition are busy fighting and weakening each other.
