Bentonian Trek

The bentonian trek was an expedition led by mad havardr under the instruction of Jecten in order to rescue benton the wolf from possible danger and bring him out of the galadonnian city of Bentonia and into the aldoviri town of Omverlon, during the early stages of the cornflower war.

Background
At june 1st 2022, carn was partitioned into four states. This partition resulted in Bentonia becoming part of the state of bootleg, under the horde. Around this time, the population of the city began to steadily decline until the region was purchased by galadonn, later joined by another 2 of the 3 other post partition states, with only the northernmost and largest state remaining independent. This would soon merge with sironia to form sironia-carn. Initially relations between galadonn and sironia-carn were neutral to positive, even getting to the point where a union between the 2 formed, however, a falling out would occur between the leaders, bringing the entire region down a dark path. At this time, leadership of bentonia was handed to ferol, who remained in contact with jecten in order to ensure the vision for the city remained. But for jecten, there was a dilemma. His city was in galadonn, yet many of his close friends were in the imperial federation of aldovir, which had succeeded from the merge between adashira and sironia-carn. He had to think of something to prevent a war from breaking out between the 2 states, and thus he convinced the leaders to have bentonia as neutral, with rules forbidding any army from garrisoning troops and the city being allowed to recruit people from both nations, but although both leaders were in agreement with the neutrality clause, as was ferol, in mid September, galadonn declared war. Things started to look chaotic, however, soon jecten was informed that bentonia had been split in two, with the walled city area now further incorporated into galadonn, and the other chunks of town being renamed Hartend, much to jectens annoyance. Feeling like galadonn had failed to ensure the original vision, he decided to change to fully siding with aldovir. There was one issue. Benton, a wolf and a close friend of jecten was still inside the caves, in an unclaimed strip of land between the 2 halves of bentonia. Feeling like there would be a chance that galadonn would break the neutrality clause and garrison troops in the strategically located walled city area, jecten knew he had to act. What was worse was, earlier, during the segra war, benton had been used as a rallying post against segra, and jecten was aware that many in galadonn were on the side of segra, and if they got to benton first, then the wolf would likely die a tragic death. Wanting to prevent this, he made a deal with mad havardr to relocate benton from the humble cave abode to the town of omverlon, as far from the fighting as possible. It was a risky move, an evacuation in an active warzone, but if it was to ensure the safety of benton, then it would need to be done.
