Andoran-Lechjan War

The Andoran-Lechjan War was a conflict between Andor and Lechja following Andor's declaration of war on the 25th of June 2021.

Background
Andor was a newly formed nation following its independence from Agnaria/Ankhar. Together with many other nations in the Midwest of Eldham, Andor was part of a pact called the Western Central Union. This was a non-aggression pact between all members in the midwest.

Because of Lechja's low player count and inactivity, Andor claimed these lands with this official request:

Section 1

A.) Andor would like to gain the territory controlled by the current country of Lechja as a de jure province of the nation. We noticed that quite a few of you are inactive and we'd like to preserve your towns and we'd like for you to join our Role-playing experience!

B.) The province of Lechja will be renamed to the province of Illian . The people, while Andoran, will be referred to as Illianers.

C. All towns held by Lechja will be transferred to Andor. We are all looking to enjoy the game together and we would like for you to be included so we'd love for you and your people to join us!

Section 2

A.) The country of Lechja will dissolve and sovereignty shall be relinquished to Andor, and the King Rand al'Thor.

B.) The leader of Lechja will become the provincial ruler of Illian and shall take the name Martin Stepaneos (Martin using /nickname, but Martin Stepaneos in /card)

C.) Any replacement leader should take family name Stepaneos

Section 3

A. The province of Lechja/Illian will accept all Andoran laws, the Illianer culture, and the Andoran religion.

B.) The province shall be subject to the King's boon. I, Rand al'Thor, will decide upon the aide to be sent to Illian after the war (should one take place) dependent on the acceptance of the King's peace.

C.) All of your towns would remain mostly autonomous. We're interested in the role play experience and in having fun together. Your leaders will granted seats on the small council and will have an active say in the governing of the territory in which they reside. Exclusive trade deals will be set up, mutual protection agreements, roads, and the experience of creating something great are all things this merge provides.

It was clear that all Andor wanted was to bring its Wheel of Time lore into the server. Most surrounding nations fervently disagreed with this request, and war was declared. Most nations in the Western Central Union joined the war, except for Phoenia, which had convinced Anglunia to join the war.

Battle of Logos
On the 4th of July 2021, the first battle between the two parties would be fought. Shortly before the war, King Rand al'Thor of Andor claimed that he could muster 30 soldiers. The leader of Lechja was intimidated by this claim and tried to delay the battle, but it was impossible as a war declaration had already been sent out.

Many participants on the Lechjan side logged off and were thus unable to participate in the battle, though it would still take place. Nine Andoran soldiers attacked the Lechjan capital of Logos, a small city with a thin, undefended wall built around it. The Andorans were able to get through holes, make stairs on the side of the wall and through other weakpoints.

The only defender present was Welpish, one of the Anglunian leaders and commander of the battle. He fought against the nine Andoran soldiers by himself. It is said that by the time BlockNutBoi, leader of Soolianic, came to help him, the battle was already over. He had won against nine Andoran soldiers by himself.

Delay
Following the great victory at Logos, Lechja made demands for the Andorans to fulfil, including giving them land, materials and money. King Rand Al'Thor, leader of Andor, refused all demands and thus a second battle would be decided.

Due to bad planning this battle would be delayed for a long time, however. This gave time to the Andorans for them to be completely demoralized and by the time the second battle would begin most had quit the server. Only a few Andorans remained active, including Cofko and Rand al'Thor himself.

Siege of Caemlyn
Some days before the war, Cofko, a member of Andor, contacted Anglunia to inquire them about their aggression against Andor. After having the situation explained to him, it seemed that Andoran citizens were unaware of Rand al'Thor's unnecessary aggression. Before the first battle, he had even sworn to kill all citizens of Isaz, according to QCoffee, Queen of Anglunia.

The next battle would be an offensive battle, a siege of the Andoran capital of Caemlyn. Before the war the Western Central Union sent out soldiers to scout the area around Caemlyn, but they found no way in through caves or strip mines. It was decided that they would build a fortress close to the city and make tnt cannons to penetrate the walls. JohnnyDJackson, current Chancellor of Anglunia, had actually convinced Cofko to breach the walls of Caemlyn and let in the other side to more easily win the battle. It was kept secret until the battle.

Before the battle even began, Welpish, once again commander, brought a large band of bandits to come into the city. By this time a hole in the wall had already been created. The Lechjan side was made aware of this, and most Andoran soldiers already fell before the battle even officially started.

During the battle, the entire city of Caemlyn was looted and Cofko offered himself up to be killed as proof of the other side's victory. He was meant to be killed by JohnnyDJackson, but instead, Twilight_Edge, a soldier from Aristios, killed him. During the battle, all of Andor's horses would be killed by Soolianic and Aristios, which would be used as leverage by Anglunia to gain more land in the negotiations. The war was won by Lechja.

Negotiations & Aftermath
After the battle was won the leaders of Soolianic, Aristios and Anglunia convened together to discuss who would get what land, as Lechja would dissolve after the war. The negotiations took a long time, and it was eventually decided that Anglunia would gain all land above the river, Soolianic would gain the land south and Aristios would take the mesa biome. Following the war, Lechja would also dissolve and give all its land to Anglunia, Areveyi (Then Grace of Bagrat) and Soolianic.
