Following the liberation of Vianden, allied forces continued their advance into southern Akarus.
As the tide turned against them, Nolvish forces converged on Alttrier in an attempt to break the allied advance. The beginning of the Battle of Alttrier saw heavy allied casualties. The battle dragged on, draining the Nolvish forces even as its reinforcements were rushed south towards Adler. Nolvik was soon forced to withdraw from the city by the growing losses.
The fall of the encircled pocket in northern Vianden further strained Nolvik's frontline, soon approaching total collapse. As allied forces reached the Nolvish border near Lindan, Akarus sought to push south into Nolvik. The forces of the Artemia Union refused the request, prevented from an offensive by their mandate. Despite the tensions, the allies continued to liberate occupied territory in Akarus.
With both their Adlerian and Akarusian fronts on the brink of total collapse, Nolvik sued for peace with Akarus and the Artemia Union on December []. Over the following days Nolvik would completely withdraw its forces from Akarus as part of the armistice, shifting its forces south in a desperate effort.
