Second Unification of Helmia

"This Conflict is considered by many an ongoing conflict, however it's up to the reader to decide if its over or not"

The Start
The Helmian Unification Strugle started on January 2nd, 2023, instigated by a High Ranking Military Officer from Credia known as Pancakedemon, after a raid on The Daelyrian capital city of Illerya during a Daelyrian celebration. The Raid lasted around 15 Minutes, and it was a decisive loss for the Credian forces who were routed by the unprepared Daelyrians. The raid was later not recognized by the Credian government as being ordered by them, though there was confusion around this at the time. It was also later found out that the actual person behind the raid on Illerya was a Daelyrian government official, Alev Synderys. Pancakedemon was in fact a spy placed by Alev Synderys to infiltrate the Credian military. He took benefit from the chaotic state of the Credian military following the Orodum crises to climb the ranks. Pancakedemon got banished from Credia after the raid and he would be left unpunished in the Daelyrian Vassal of Synderia.

Aftermath
On January 3rd 2023, Daelyrian, Credians, Ostians, And Halgeans met up in the Town of Florentina where Daelyria presented an Ultimatum to The Government of the United Kingdoms of Yulara, stipulating the full and complete annexation of their lands into Daelyria.

The Yularan People outraged and furious, rejected this Ultimatum. A four Hour Conference proceeded which brought about no end to Conflict, and matters continued to escalate. With the Yularan minister of Diplomacy Conrade stating that a defeat which saw the entirety of Yulara destroyed would be preferable to seeing their territories fall in the hands of foreign occupation

January 4th, 2023: By this time Tensions had escalated so much, that both sides had created war council and initiated full military mobilization. A raid was launched on the Credian city of Alsilia, resulting in the Daelyrian raiders killing every online citizen of the town. Later this day Prime Minister Alexander Avondale of the UKY would resign from his post, and be replaced with former Minister of Diplomacy Conrade Havatarmut'yun who was told to find a deal with Lunaris.

Cooling Off
January 5th, 2023. A Royal Messenger sent by Daelyria had arrived at seraphalos where another conference was held with the Leaders of Halge, this, however, would prove to be another failed attempt at peace, but it did eventually cool down tensions to a point where the Daelyrian war Discord was deleted and partial military mobilization was reestablished.

January 6th, 2023. The Daelyrian High Regent Dusk Synderys brokered a deal with the empire of Lunaris, transferring the vassalization of the UKY to Daelyria in exchange for 500k.

Helmia Unified & Daelyria Victory
On January 7th 2023, at exactly 12:58PM GMT/BST, Daelyrian High Regent, Dusk Synderys with the Help of Eric Brewtake r-Synderys announced the Integration of The United Kingdoms of Yulara into the 2nd High Kingdom of Daelyria, now The Helmian Empire of Daelyria. Lacking the support of the Lunari, the UKY surrendered to the superior Daelyrian forces. the UKY was partioned between Daelyria, the Three Thrones and Bardonia.

Halgean rebellion
After refusing to unclaim some chunks in Lennox, the Halgeans declared rebellion against Daelyria. In the next few days, Hälge would release a long series of announcements aimed to paint Daelyria in a bad light. The voracity of the claims given in the announcements has been disputed.

The battle was fought on the 4th of February. Though the Halgeans relied heavily on professional mercenary companies and spent an estimated 6 million in mercs on the battle, the Daelyrian side managed a triumph. This is one of the only recent rathnir battles where an army of nationally-sourced troops managed to defeat a largely mercenary based force. The battle was given a tie due to complications with the Daelyrian claim, but both sides recognized it, officially or not, as a Daelyrian victory.

Realizing they could not win honorably by fighting, the Halgeans resorted to use their connections to the staff team to have the unification of Credia undone by the admin team. This unprecedented interference in politics would lead to a clarification around the rules of land scamming and transfership of countries.
