Dandelion War

The Bardonian Wars are a series of conflicts surrounding the rapid expansion of the Republic of Bardonia after the dissolution of the Trillium Alliance in the wake of the Great Rathnir War which was fought between the Trillium Alliance and global coalition lead by Yimmu-Audal.

Commencing with the announcement of Bardonian Mobilization, made by Chancellor Unic0rnb0i on January 14th, 2021. In his announcement, the Chancellor voiced Bardonian's ambition to unify all of Rathnir 'under a single banner of true peace.'

Looting of Urnu-Arrak
The Looting of Urnu-Arrak took place on January 17th, 2021. The Council of Elders of Yimmu-Audal refused to accept Tzseu as Empress and elected Gray_Is_Yes as Emperor instead, despite the terms of the peace deal of the Great Rathnir War which stated that Tzseu was to ascend to the throne. Bardonia, citing a breach of the peace treaty as their reason, subsequently declared war on Yimmu-Audal and laid siege to Urnu-Arrak only eight days after the Battle of Urnu-Arrak ended the Great Rathnir War. The war was swiftly ended when Gray_Is_Yes, the only member of Yimmu-Audal to participate in the war, was shot by Bardonian forces.

Attack on Dorasterrock
In the night from January 17th to January 18th, many players using invisibility potions headed to the Bardonian capital, Dorasterrock, and blew up various buildings . Bardonian officials accused the Industrial Workers of Rathnir of being behind the attack though no group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet.

"I post this at the behest of the senate of the Republic of Bardonia. Early this morning, Dorasterrock was attacked by terrorists who were members of the IWR. The church of dandelions was bombed, the keep was attacked, and explosives were detonated in the old senate chamber. This cannot go unpunished. The capitol of our republic was damaged by brutal terrorists in hopes of taking our freedom. Rest assured, anyone involved will be executed and any nations or towns they are part of will be annihilated."

Meenit put out the I.W.R.'s official response, announcing: "The Industrial Workers of Rathnir would like to state We do not know anything of this incident. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

War of The Last Bastion
On January 17, Dex_Og of the Last Bastion declared a lands war on an Escharian town, likely Lileanen. Escharian Emperor Emeritus Siegfried von Aspach responded to this by denouncing the declaration as an 'aggression from a Bardonian'.

"Escharia has done nothing but antagonize me for my entire time on this server. I have been a bardonian [sic] for only a little while, and this would have been coming regardless of Bardonia. Mark my words. Escharia will be mine. Scorched and ash or regal and tall, it will be mine. I'll rule coals and pebbles if i have to. Blood for the blood god baby!"
