== Background ==

=== Nieseatian Annexation of Gaia ===

The seeds of the Nieseatian War were sown months ago, with Nieseatian Annexation of Gaia. This precipitated the beginning of Archon [[Macadier Maldore]]’s push to occupy all of [[Orlan]]. Many events took place before the annexation proper as Nieseatian officials floated the idea to Duchess Floria Aster, who ruled Gaia at the time.

Nieseat first contacted Duchess Floria during [[Folkmod Erendellen]]’s masquerade ball in the middle of December. Captain [[Drace Latimeer]], leader of the [[Ordenza]], sowed the seeds of Gaian rebellion in Floria’s mind, encouraging her to throw Gaia’s lot in with Nieseat. What words exactly were spoken is unknown, but Latimeer’s persuasion worked - Gaia would ally with the Nieseatians. This much was clear during a post-ball Council of the Bay, wherein the Gaians wore the distinctive blacks and yellows of Nieseat’s flag, encouraged by Duchess Floria. Drace and Floria’s machinations of a Nieseatian Gaia were unknown to the population of Gaia as a whole. They followed their leader, as they’d done for a decade prior, but they did not know what was to come.

=== Occupation and Rebellion ===

After the events of January 7th, a month-long occupation of Stone Bay ensued. With the main leadership across the world, the people of the Bay had to step up in secret. Synarch Fafnir Towerlord, Lord Benjamin Lascelles, and Lord Rowan Umber took it upon themselves to begin meeting in secret, as they were those with the highest status and experience left. Though the rest of Stone Bay did not sit idly by and began to “play the game”, integrating themselves into the rest of Nieseat- planning to turn it inside out.

As the people of Kara marched closer to the Ehrtfort, a group of Stendahlis - headed by High Lord Corellian Towerlord and Underking Bill Blackrock- broke off, going around the Ehrtfort to the other side, to close the people of Nieseat in.

During this time, another stalemate ensued. With both sides launching small attacks on the other, no progress was made either way. While Metinos focused his time on the people of Stone Bay, threatening that if anyone crossed the river, he would kill them. Orders had been given to the forces of Kara to stop antagonizing the Nieseatians, for fear of incurring the wrath of Metinos.

=== Battle in the Battery ===

The Battle in the Battery was the final conflict in the Nieseatian War, happening concurrently and ending shortly after Metinos’ Final Stand. It was here that Archon Macadier Maldore and his Nieseatian loyalists made their defense against Kara’s ten warriors chosen to defeat the Archon by any means necessary.

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.
