The '''Nieseatian War''' was a conflict between Nieseat and the [[Stone Bay|Kingdom of Stone Bay]], the [[Stendahl|Kingdom of Stendahl]], and the various fighting forces of [[Meloria]], [[Soleil|Tortuga]], and other minor Karan polities. It lasted 29 days from the occupation of Stone Bay on January 7th, 911 AJ, to the defeat of [[Macadier Maldore]] at the [[Battle in the Battery]] on February 5th, 911 AJ. | |||
While the war's end assured Karan independence from Nieseat, it was followed by several months of continued conflict with external and internal threats. [[Moder Jord's Invasion]], the [[CLF Conflict]], and the [[Fey Incursion]] happened directly after Macadier Maldore's death. These repeated incursions into Karan territory following the Nieseatian occupation of Stone Bay were some of the factors leading to Stone Bay's rapid remilitarisation and consolidation of power. Though the war ended two years ago, its effects are still felt today. | |||

Nieseat’s next step in this plot was the construction of a fort just off the coast of Orlan. Built through intermediaries by Latimeer, Karan forces led by the Nieseatian captain took over the fort and slew the bandits who’d constructed it. Not long after, Latimeer led an expedition to neutralise a minor fey being underneath Gaia. Between the bandits, a mortal threat; and the fey, a magical threat; Latimeer had enough cause to wave Nieseatian colours just above the flag of Gaia. Regardless of Gaian reservations, Captain Latimeer and Guildmaster Bridget Maldore were instrumental in convincing the remaining Gaians that this was the best path forward. And the Nieseatians now had a foothold in Orlan. | Nieseat’s next step in this plot was the construction of a fort just off the coast of Orlan.

January 7th, 911 was the beginning of the end of Season Three. A special parliament was hosted, in honor of the then Lord Mayor, [[Ulysses Mountbatten]]’s 911th birthday. This particular session went mainly without any trouble, with plenty of fun bills and bits presented. As the end neared, Archon Macadier Maldore - who had previously not been in attendance, entered the Parliamentary Chambers. With some previous knowledge that the Archon was planning something, tensions began to rise. | January 7th, 911 was the beginning of the end of Season Three.

Though Danika initially had the Archon’s wand, she gave it to Zethrain after some persuasion. With their leader dead only seven minutes after Metinos’ defeat, the Nieseatian War officially ended. While the Nieseatian loyalists were left alone, the ten heroes returned to the halls of the Ehrtfort to celebrate a joint Karan victory. | Though Danika initially had the Archon’s wand, she gave it to Zethrain after some persuasion.

The Nieseatian War left Nieseat and its colony in Kara without any of its senior figures. Archon Macadier Maldore, Captain Drace Latimeer, and Folkmod Erendellen were all slain by the Karan coalition. The Nieseatian survivors were left alive, as no Karan nation wanted to prolong the conflict by sending the losers of war to court. What remained of Nieseat banded together to form the short-lived Princedom of Ibrithil, led by Bridget Maldore. | The Nieseatian War left Nieseat and its colony in Kara without any of its senior figures.

Many Nieseatian defectors, such as Hixan Firwen and Danika Lockhorn, went on to live successful and or peaceful lives as residents of the Kingdom of Stone Bay. The Arcane Battery was locked away and eventually lost when [[Felanah]] sunk into the seas surrounding Orlan. | Many Nieseatian defectors, such as Hixan Firwen and Danika Lockhorn, went on to live successful and or peaceful lives as residents of the Kingdom of Stone Bay.
