First Norfst Tribal War

Tensions Rising(Year 249-247 BSS)
The year was 249 BSS, during the Norfst tribal ages. The tribes of Norfst culture just got out of the Norfst wars and the Norfst Culture became the dominant culture of the region. However, even though the Norfst tribes had been allies during the earlier Norfst wars, they had conflicting views and were not aligned diplomatically, and the other dominant culture, Brothian, didn’t get along well with the Norfst. The Hannivian, Brittle, and Savrus tribe’s dominant culture were Norfst however, the Kung of all these tribes was Brothian, meaning that they weren’t truly Norfst. The Bjonic tribe also viewed itself as culturally distinct. These factors caused a lot of conflict in their new alliance. Kung Löngslätt the 1st of the Norfthornian Tribe, met up with Kung Linfak, the 2nd of the Brahskogian tribe. The royal family and 80% of their population's culture were Norfst. This meant they were true Norfst tribes, giving them a reason to team up. They met up in Norfthorn City to discuss their friendship. They signed the NorfSkogian treaty, which brought them into a defensive alliance. In an attempt to retain power, Kung Øystein the 3rd of Hannivian called for the 3rd council meeting. The Norfst council was made during the Norfst Wars. The council included the tribes of Hannivian, Brittle, Norfthornian, Brahskogian, Virn, Jabba, Hanto, Espre, Bjonic, and the Goblin and Casul Tribes. During a debate over what to do with the non-member tribes like Savrus and Bruhda, Kung Øystein the 3rd of Hannivian was yelling at Kung Godwinson, the 2nd of Virn, after he suggested we invite them and attempt the peaceful unification of the tribes. Kung Øystein the 3rd of Hannivian, was immensely angered and forced his friend Kung Asbjørg, the 2nd of the Brittle tribe to back him. The Brahskogian tribe backed the Virn tribe, which made the Hannivian and Brittle tribes leave the council, which soon led to the council being disbanded. Due to tensions rising between the Hannivian and Virn tribes, the Brahskogian signed a formal alliance with Virn.

Making Alliance's (247 BSS)
As tensions in the region were rising, the Norfst tribes knew a larger conflict was about to take place. So to ensure their safety and a potential victory in the coming war, they formed a few key alliances, especially the Brahskogian Tribe. Kung Linfak the 2nd met up with Kung Tohaan Omma the 3rd, Kung Godwinson the 2nd, Kung Longslatt the 1st, and finally Kung Pyraechmes the 4th. They all agreed to a defensive alliance, meaning if an attack on 1 of them is an attack on all, however, this wasn’t a military alliance as if any other members were the aggressor the others wouldn’t have to help if needed. The new alliance was called the Norfthornian Alliance and would turn out to be crucial for their survival. The Bjonic tribe was upset as they thought they had the right to be friends with the Norfthornian alliance and even join it. So instead of asking them if they could join, they went to the alliance’s greatest rivals, the Hannivian tribe, and the Brittle tribe, to ask them for friendship. Kung Øystein the 3rd, Kung Asbjørg the 2nd, and Kung Ufin the 1st met up in Brittle city. After 3 days of talking, they all signed the Brittle Keep Alliance, which was a full military alliance. Two tribes that didn’t play a bigger role in the alliance that joined later were the Hanto and Goblin tribes. however, they would not take part in the tribal war as they only joined the alliance for protection and security from the other tribes.

WAR! (247-246 BSS)
After signing the Brittle Keep Alliance the Hannivian and Brittle tribes were feeling confident about their current status and started eyeing up their neighbors, more specifically the Virn and Jabba tribes. The Brittle Keep Alliance wanted to share a border altogether to help them organize any wars better and not get permission from other tribes to get their troops from border to border. The Virn and Jabba tribes were in between the Bjonic and Hannivian tribes. So the Hannivian tribe felt like they were justified to invade the two tribes after the argument in the council meeting and sent an ultimatum to Virn and Jabba telling them to either join the alliance or surrender their land to the Hannivian Tribe. This shocked every Norfst tribe as it threatened the peace in the tribes which was what they were famous for. When Virn and Jabba declined the ultimatum, the Hannivian, Brittle, and Bjonic tribes declared war on them. Since Virn was in the Norfthornian Alliance and knew they wouldn't win this war without help, they called on their friends the Norfthornian Tribe and the Brahskogian tribe who both agreed to join the war in the defense of their friend and to attempt to gain more land and money. The Brahskogian and Brittle keep tribes' capital city was less than 400 blocks away. The only thing that separates them was a river known as the Great Brahskogian river. Immediately both sides fortified the river so they can wait for allied forces to come however it was already impossible to cross without catastrophic casualties. On the Northern front the Norfthornian tribe quickly sent a force over before the Hannivian, Bjonic did their blockade, completely cutting off the Virn and Jabba tribes from their allies' help. The extra troops would help prevent the Brittle Keep alliance from sending an attack. With all the fronts secured on both sides, the war turned into a stalemate. Both sides had plans to take over the others. One of the plans was by the Brittle keep alliance they, wanted to invade Virn and Jabba then, stack up in the Bjonic tribe so they can invade the Espre and Oddessy so, they can get around the massive Brahskog and Norfthornian defenses on their borders, and since it was the only real plan they had they decided to go with it. After 2 months of stalemate, the Brittle and Hannivian tribes launched a full-scale attack on Virn. After 3 days of battle, they were finally winning, so they launched a full-scale attack into the semi undefended Jabba land. After a week Jabba fell and just 3 days later Virn fell. After 13 days of battles, they were ready to start their second offensive. Brittle and Hannivian combined sent 4 full armies to the Bjonic tribe and in total the alliance had 6 full armies in the Bjonic land, which caused the army to suffer from high attrition due to the shortage of food to feed them all. After 2 weeks of preparation, the Brittle Keep Alliance launched plan 2. They sent 2 armies of 3, 1 to go to Oddessy and the other to go to Espre. An oddessy scout saw the invasion coming and quickly got back to oddessy to warn. Some took it seriously and got a small defensive up. While most blew it off as they were neutral in the conflict. The scout quickly wrote a letter to Espre as he saw the 2 armies. As he finished the Brittle Keep alliance forces arrived and due to the lack of defense the oddessy tribe fell in just 3 hours. Espre got the warning and quickly got a decent size defense up before the Brittle Keep alliance arrived. The battle of Espre was legendary as it changed the tide of the war. The Espre tribe was mainly underground but their entrance was a fortress and even though they lacked a decent size population their very well-trained soldiers made up for it. The Espre tribe fought hard putting up an excellent fight before the Brittle Keep Alliance infiltrated the walls and a desperate fight for the defense of their tribe began. The Espre Kung came up with a quick yet genius plan. He orders his soldiers to quickly retreat to the entrance of the underground city which is an extensive staircase leading around 100 blocks down. After his soldiers successfully retreated to the bottom the Kung and his 2 right-hand men held off hundreds of soldiers. When there were enough soldiers on the staircase he ordered his bottom troops to blow it. The soldiers did as they were ordered, the staircase fell and the majority of the Brittle Keep Alliance forces died. However, the Kung and his soldiers also perished in the explosion. The Norfthornian tribe had forces on the way and after the explosion went off they cleaned up the rest of the soldiers marking a victory in the battle. The Norfthornian tribe didn't stop there. They built up what remained of the Espre army and met up with the Brahskogian force who took back Oddessy, they pushed towards the Bjonic tribe killing the soldiers who fell behind in the retreat. When the Norfthornian tribe was near the very weakened Bjonic tribe they pushed for the revenge of the soldiers who died in Espre. The Bjonic Kung with advice from his advisors dropped out of the war.

Now it was the Norfthornian alliance's turn to go on the offensive. They used Bjonic land as an outpost and camp till they planned their next move. The 4 kungs of the nations met up in Norfthorn city and decided to attack from the north and push down into Hannivian and Brittle. One problem with the idea was the Hannivian and Brittle tribes already secured their massive northern border that would hold off an attack from the north. They came up with another genius plan, they wanted to still attack from the north but create a distraction on the Brahskogian, Brittle border making the 2 tribes think that's the main attack and move most of their northern army down allowing the Norfthornian force to quickly invade the lands of Virn and Jabba. At this point, the war has been going on for 4 months and the Norfthornians, Brahskogians, Esprians, and Oddessy tribes were ready to end it. After a week of preparation, they launched 3 attacks along the Great Brahskogian River, Battle of the Bridge, Battle of the Brahskogian River, and one battle that crossed the border into the country of Hanto and fought there. The attacks were so big and major that the distraction worked and the Brittle Keep Alliance quickly sent forces down to hopefully defend the battles. About 2 days later the Norfthornian Alliance launched their invasions into Virn and Jabba. Quickly the population living in the area quickly revolted and kicked out their occupiers allowing for a fast victory up north with both Virn and Jabba tribes being liberated and rejoining the war on team Norfthorn. Back west the Brahskogian offensives were supposed to end after Virn and Jabba were liberated but they kept going and eventually the Brahskogian prince lead an army across the river winning the battle of the Brahskogian River. The Prince acted fast and moved his army south towards Brittle Keep City. He moved them more east and arrived at the East gate of Brittle Keep. The soldiers knew reinforcements were coming and when the prince said he was sent to help defend the city the Brittle Keep soldiers made a mistake and allowed the prince's into the city and on their defense. When the army was ready they launched the attack inside the city completely catching the soldiers defending Brittle Keep off guard. The general across the river saw the fight happening and quickly ordered an almost suicidal charge across the river. After much fighting the 2 armies attacking the Brittle Keep met up and started to attack the city. After 1 full week of fighting the Brittle Keep alliance, retreated from the city and the Battle of Brittle Keep was a major victory the Norfthornian alliance got that they weren't even planning on. After this victory, the Norfthornian Alliance launched an invasion from the North and West which eventually lead to the surrender of the Brittle Tribe. Seeing no hope of winning the war and the Norfthornian forces approaching their major cities the Hannivian Tribe made peace with the Norfthornian Alliance officially ending the war that lasted 6 months and killing over 7000 soldiers.

Many historians today think that the only thing the First Tribal War did was set up the 2nd tribal war.
