Auroran War



The Auroran War was a conflict that took place on February 18th. It was between Aurora and the nearby state Pedregal. The side of Pedregal had allies of Viodoxa and the Soleannen Spirits, and thus far outnumbered the forces of Aurora. The war consisted of three battles in rapid succession, two attacks on Pedregal and Viodoxan cities

Causes
Canine14 declared war on Boulderov becuase they're member "Signore_Ravioli and LickenChittle (who was once an Auroran) were raiding [an Auroran] storage facility when we were joining to continue our work on our infrastructure. The lost goods were estemated to be [Aurora] of over 20 stacks of Coal Blocks, 5 barrels of Wood, and a stack of Iron blocks". Due to the way lands wars work Aurora traveled to Valentum in order to find a member of the Boulderov land and slay them to claim vicotry. Aurora also wanted Lothair_ and others killed, due to actions during the week of peace between Febuary 7th and 14th. With all this in mine the decision was made to raid into Valentum. This caused the defenders to call in the Spirits of Soleannen.

Attack on Valentum
At first, the band against Aurora set off to attack Fornost at the beginning of the war, however, a small force from Aurora attacked the town of Valentum. Canine14 lead this battle with RumKnight9k, domn8u, TequilaKnight, and mercenaries BacktotheHub and ViewedMarquis in the fight. Though the original group, Canine14, RumKnight9k, domn8u, and TequilaKnight were quickly outnumbered and overrun in the main square and surrounding alleys of Valentum. Canine14 returned to Valentum with no gear after being killed, he was standing on a low roof when tylerlikesanime came up behind him and hit him off with a diamond axe. He was killed by Im_cooming afterwards.

Attack on Pedregal
Another attack occured in Pedregal, with just about the same conclusion. The allied army travelled by nether portal to defend this town in Boulderov. There was only one death on Aurora's side before the defenders took a quick second to reorganize, then going on to attack Aurora's capital of Fornost. There were a few TNT craters around one edge of the town, but there was no other damage. At this point, Klausisen, BoltonYale, and LordBoraken had joined the allied army.

Attack on Fornost
After Pedregal was defended, the allied army travelled by foot from Pedregal, over mountains with ghasts in the air, through a swamp following behind BoltonYale with ice-boots. At this point, d3bi and AristenLopez had joined the allied army, AristenLopez marking the grass with a shovel so the army could follow. They ran up the road to the castle, pillaged its farm, and climbed the mountain next to it to jump on Fornost's walls. The only casualty was Canine14 by Knightman51 after coming out of the castle in the beginning. The players found their way to the building which held Domn8u, and piled up against the door, trying to break it. He left as soon as he saw them trying to get past the claimed door. They then went their way to the building which held aw222, climbing across the roofs of the castle buildings. Aw222 saw them piling on the door, played the music disc Cat, and put multiple doors between him and the outer one that kept the attackers at bay.

Soonafter the attack on Fornost, the player Rathnir ran into the allied army and talked with them. Players pushed him around and enclosed him in a cobble space. D3bi then hit Rathnir off a cliff with fire aspect, but threw a health potion at him. Then, Zelious then hit Rathnir with his axe. As soon as Rathnir died, the whole server shut down for a moment. Both Zelious and D3bi died for combat logging at this.
