Battle of the Kushite Sea

The Battle of the Kushite Sea (also known as the Battle for the Salmon Seas) was a a major naval battle that took place after the events of the The Heist of Luxios, which resulted in a rare artifact being stolen. In retaliation for the artifact being stolen, Solisios, along with one of its allies, the Kingdom of Lennox, declared war on the Huitca Federation. The Battle of the Kushite Sea is notable for being the first naval battle to take place in either Rathnir or Eldham.

Background
On August 16th, 2021 at approximately 5:30 UTC, Hutican forces infiltrated Luxios using invisibility potions, killing every guard. They then entered the university, where the Shah of Solisios, DoeNiet, agreed to a duel with LilyPrism, the Chief of State of Huitca. The duel resulted in a victory for LilyPrism. The Huitcan forces then quickly fled Luxios with the artifact.

Shortly after the heist ended, the Sece Pemuwe of Solisios convened and unanimously voted to declare war upon the Huitca Federation. The Kingdom of Lennox, in support of Solisios, also declared war on Huitca.

The Battle
Solisian naval forces, along with Lennox volunteers, intercepted a Huitcan fleet retreating to Huitca in the Kushite Sea. After the two sides exchanged shots at eachother, they then proceeded to attempt to seize each other's ships by force, resulting in several casualties for both sides. However, the Huitcan forces were eventually able to repel the Solisian naval forces.

Aftermath
After the battle, the Solisio-Lennox forces strategically withdrew to Luxios in preparation for a siege.
