Isentou-Uldarashi War

The Isentou-Uldarashi War was a war between The City of Isentou and The Second Empire of Uldarash. Isentou wanted independance from the peaceful nation of Sanctuary and therefore declared war against the Second Empire of Uldarash, the Empire which Sanctuary was part of. The war lasted three days, taking place on 5th January 2022 and ended on 7th January 2022.

Declaration
Early in the morning of 5th January 2022, Jeffej, one of the founders and leaders of Isentou declared war against the Second Empire of Uldarash, proclaiming that the city wanted independance from Sanctuary and vowed to crush Uldarash.

War Preparations
As soon as Isentou declared war, Uldarash placed its military on standby, awaiting battle. Isentou was a mere city and knew that they could not single-handedly take on the superpower of the Second Empire of Uldarash, so they requested foreign support from many other nations but all declined, as they were allies with Uldarash and it would be suicide to fight the Empire. On 6th January, Isentou forces expanded further into Sanctuary territory by creating giant fortress walls in the East, destroying the long route of Traveller's Road (a long road connecting the sister towns of Traveler's Watch and Traveller's Pass). The Count and Daimyo of Traveller's Pass, Ciprilu, saw these newly built, militarised walls as a threat to his fortress town so closed the Western Gate of Traveller's Pass for the first time in its history in order to completely elimante the chance of Isentou troops invading. During this period of time of preparation, Ciprilu offered Traveller's Pass to the Uldarash Military while the war lasted, in case the Second Empire needed a fortress close to Isentou.

Surrender of Isentou
On 7th of January, Isentou held a democratic vote, asking their people if they should stay and fight against Uldarash or surrender and relocate. The majority voted to surrender and relocate, realising that without any foreign aid, defeating Uldarash would be impossible for them at that time. The five founders of Isentou built a new town on the other side of the world from the Second Empire of Uldarash called Golden Ridge, in Kartek. In Golden Ridge where they would temporarily store their items and live, before building their own new Isentou.

Aftermath
Fortunately, the war never escalated into actual battles, meaning there were no casualties. Isentou surrendered their town to the Second Empire of Uldarash and the city was given back to the Kingdom of Sanctuary. Currently, the council of Sanctuary are deciding what will happen to the city itself.
