Background Context
Players Loic_exe27 (founder of Asahiri) and carado9 (founder of Gefail) approached the (at the time) King of Paloro; Keechoo, with a plan to unite all of the continent of Haven to create an Empire of Haven on the 8th of February. The parties that would be included in this unification would be Paloro, Boulderov, Dolária, Uldarash and (to an extent) Aurora. In order for this plan to work, Loic_exe27 and carado9 had to persuade Keechoo to step down as King, as he disagreed with the plan and was known to not take initiative, which the King would need for this plan. Loic_exe27 would replace him, and they made it clear that if he wouldn't step down willingly, they would forcefully overthrow him. Keechoo agreed, and publicly stepped down. Loic_exe27 took his place, and the plan to unify the continent took place. After being threatened by invasion, Uldarash (and by proxy Aurora) agreed and representatives from all nations were gathered to a call to help write the constitution. After this, the Empire had begun, and would only last about 7 hours. Keechoo resurfaced, and claimed that the transfer of power to Loic was in truth, Keechoo being usurped, and that there were legal troubles with how the transfer of power was performed. Keechoo wrote two separate announcements for the transfer of power back to him. The original announcement was viewed only by Paloro and its diplomats, while the official announcement could be viewed by the entire server, and contained far less rude mannerisms. After the announcement, Uldarash and Aurora pulled out of the deal, and the whole plan was scrapped.

Many of the other powers in Haven did not agree to a united empire under Loic, some seeing it as a project bound to fail while others really did not like Loic, as threats of violence were made at several moments and agreement was seen as an easy way out.

Keechoo's Side
All information below can be found through the announcements Keechoo had made.

Upon hearing that Keechoo would have to give up power whether peaceful or not, Keechoo contacted Uldarash in hopes of preventing misunderstanding, and told them of Loic's plan to go to war with Uldarash if they denied peaceful annexation. Pleading for Uldarash to say no, Whiskey feared a deadly and overall costly war for the Empire, and instead opted for peaceful annexation. Eventually, Keechoo came to the conclusion that even if Uldarash went to war with Paloro, the nation would have likely been reduced to rubble— an unsatisfactory outcome. As such, Keechoo instead prayed to Ashuntash, in which he got the idea for a method to peacefully take back the throne. Contacting the nations that Loic had said agreed to the term of the Empire's foundation, Keechoo found that they had supposedly not agreed to anything regarding who led Paloro at the time of its founding or during the invasion of Uldarash planned. As such, Keechoo stated the legal issues in the original announcement for his coming back to the throne. In an attempt to not hinder Loic's reputation any further, and to abide to Dolaria's demands, Keechoo did not state this in the official announcement.

The Coup Itself
When carado9 heard about Keechoo's retaking of power the next day, he was furious. He persuaded Loic_exe27 that they had to keep to their word and take power by force. Keechoo's actions were deemed disgusting by the large majority of Paloro, and he was looked down upon by Boulderov and Dolária. Loic founded, and was the mayor, of the largest town in Paloro; Asahiri. Not only were these people loyal to Loic_exe27 due to him housing them, but they were also mostly new players, and had no nostalgia or nationalism for Paloro (in fact, carado9 was the only non new player citizen of Paloro who sided with Loic_exe27), therefore almost all players in the nation supported Loic_exe27. He and carado9 created a new discord server and most people left the old one for the new one. Loic_exe27 was made King, and carado9 Regent. Keechoo still claimed he was king of Paloro, although his claim is recognized only by Aurora, who had sided with Keechoo. During the coup, Keechoo had been killed twice, both times the killers; Biggegb and Cohen3012 had been punished by the admins as there was a server-wide ceasfire in place. After this, Keechoo was banished from Asahiri but not Paloro. Keechoo would then go on to walk around Asahiri, with nothing in his inventory, because he claims its funny to see how Loic's supporters react to him.

Summary Of Now
As of now, Loic_exe27 is in charge of Paloro, carado9 is the second in command, Keechoo no longer publicly claims the throne, stating to be only the ruler of "himself", but his claim is only recognized by two Paloran citizens and the nation of Aurora. Keechoo is banned from entering Asahiri.
