Nieseatian War: Difference between revisions

The '''Nieseatian War''' was a series of events that played out the conflict between [[Nieseat]] and [[Kara]]. At its end, several villains introduced during Season Two: Realitas were defeated, with the players who joined other Karan factions being victorious. The conflict set up several magical threats that would plague Kara for years to come, including [[Moder Jord]], the fey and [[Granny Hildegard]], and the [[face-stealers]].

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.

=== January 7th ===

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.

And with that, the Occupation of Stone Bay began.

Upon the return of the three leaders, the people of Kara began to get to work. A siege on the Ehrtfort was planned during an emergency session of Parliament that night.

The rest of the night went without progress on either side, a stalemate where the end would not be fully known.

=== War Council ===

— Ulysses Mountbatten, ''Declaration of War - Macadier Maldore''

The next day a House of Lords was called by King Sillas Deepcreek, for the people of Kara to come together and discuss the plans for the upcoming fights later in the day.

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.

== Aftermath ==

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.  

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.
