Second Coalition-Ellysian War

The Second Coalition-Ellysian War was a war fought between the Second Coalition united by ViewedMarquis and the Ellysian Empire as led by Thas Ellas. The war broke out in 67 TE and ended shortly thereafter.

Background
After the end of the First Coalition-Ellysian War, there was a general feeling of discontent amongst it's members and many people across Eldham for its failures to dissolve the Ellysian Empire. After the treaty was passed at the end of the war, the Ellysian Empire was forcefully moved to the Southeast corner of Eldham but was still able to rebuild and yet again had become a massive force to be reckoned with, maintaining the largest territorial claim on the server.

In addition to this many people were greatly angered by the new Basileus of the Ellysian Empire, Valerion, whom was regarded by many to be rude, bigoted, and unfit for leadership. This escalated exponentially after Valerion called ViewedMarquis, a transgender bandit, a "man pretending to be a girl". This resulted in mass outcry from many players calling for them to be punished for their transphobia. On top of this all, reports of the empire yet again forcing small nations and tribes to unite under the Ellysian banner begin to flood in, and even reports of them using X-Ray exploits to become rich. A few lead players of the Ellysian Empire were ultimately banned for xraying, transphobia, or hacking, severely diminishing their population and defensive capabilities.

This all encouraged the formation of a Second Coalition which intended to destroy the Ellysian Empire once and for all which was quickly joined and supported by many nations and independent players.

Treaty of Aurica
After the formation of the Second Coalition and a massive international denouncement against the Ellysian Empire, a treaty was signed in order to ensure that Thas Ellas would come back into power replacing Valerion and that there would be peace. This gave full authority of the nation to the Regnum Drakaes and established a period of time called the "White Week" where they would be entitled to completely remove anything Ellysian that they deemed necessary. This complete demolition of Ellysian power allowed for the nation to be at complete disposal of their enemy in the form of the Regnum Drakaes.

Drakaes's Edict
On 19 June 2021 an edict and plan was authored by Coalition member and the Vice President of the USSE Xeroise Ronango'O and put into place by the Regnum Drakaes. This completely dissolved the Ellysian Empire for an indefinite period of time, with the lands being divided. Some land was immediately annexed by neighboring countries such as Roðinnbrók, the Mercurian Republic, and Farencia-Bellum. The remainder of land was divided into five "Administrative Zones" which would be governed by five countries for a duration of roughly a week before being turned into independent nations with the help and guidance of the governing Coalition nations. The following are the governing nations of each Administrative Zone:
 * Zone One: Drak Yamar
 * Zone Two: United Kingdom of Plagatéa
 * Zone Three: United Socialist States of Eldham
 * Zone Four: Avaria
 * Zone Five: The Regnum Drakaes

The Ellysian Empire was incredibly furious in regards to the edict and plan, deeming it illegal and in violation of the treaty despite it not being and them signing away the right to do anything about it in the first place. This resulted in Thas Ellas claiming to "unsign" the treaty which would initiate a declaration of war against Ellysia for refusing to abide by the Treaty of Aurica. A response, titled 'One Final War', was made by the Autarch of Regnum Drakaes.

The Garxeto Assault
At roughly 20 June 2021 13:00 EST, the first battle of the conflict would occur. The USSE had set up a small settlement in an isolated bay in Zone Three where they knew the Ellysians never patrolled early that morning, naming it Garxeto (meaning 'people's fort' in Lo'Oi). Roughly an hour and a half before the battle started, Second Coalition forces started to gather in Garxeto to execute a plan drawn up by the Coalition's Xeroise Ronango'O to take control of the cities of Nordinbad and Taernsby utilizing immense numbers and intimidation.



By sailing down across the bay and down a river, at around 13:50 EST, the first Second Coalition troops which consisted of over 25 people first landed in the small town of Damaranth and started an assault on neighboring Nordinbad shouting "DEATH TO ELLYSIA" the entire time. Immediately the only person to even be in the city of Nordinbad logged off and no reinforcements ever came for the entirety of the assault. Eventually, ladders were placed on the tall walls and the city of Nordinbad was immediately captured, followed by troops sailing down the sea to the nearby city of Taernsby and capturing it as well by using water to scale its walls. Finally, the Second Coalition made a trek to the Ellysian capital of Atta, which was also not defended. The city was captured almost immediately as they made their way into Ellysian strip mines which allowed them direct entry into the city.



While around five to seven people died, all of these were from fall damage and the complete lack of defense from the Ellysian army and mass desertion from their troops and allies resulted in the immediate victory being in favor of the Second Coalition. The Ellysians's refusal to defend their own cities and citizens was regarded by much of the international community as insane cowardice from the Ellysian crown.

The Siege of Atta


In order to get the claims removed from the Ellysian cities a second battle was necessary and so was planned, with another battle being set for around 18:00 EST later that day. Before the battle began, the coalition forces sat around a campfire stationed within Taernsby. There the coalition told stories of their time in Rathnir. The Second Coalition went around the same route, taking the cities of Nordinbad and Taernsby. Finally, they reached Atta, where yet again they received a total of zero resistance and captured the city immediately. The complete lack of Ellysian willingness to defend their own territory left an undisputed victory in the hands of the Second Coalition resulting in the immediate undebatable division and dissolution of the Ellysian Empire as per the demands of Regnum Drakaes's Edict and Ellysian cities being unclaimed and forced to be in control of the Coalitionary forces.



Attacks from Ellysian Rebel Groups
While it was an undisputed fact that the Ellysian Empire had lost the war, this did not prevent a small group of former Ellysians uniting as a rebel group to reinstate the Ellysian Empire by establishing the Regnum Hellenium. Early in the morning on 21 June 2021, Coalition leader LilyPrism was walking through the city of Atta to investigate reports of Atta's Ellysian claims being recreated and found a group of four former Ellysians there. They attempted to inform the group that they were in Coalition territory and that the claim was illegal, but the group instead chose to abandon peaceful talking efforts and tried to attack LilyPrism. Despite being armed in full enchanted diamond and netherite armor, three out of four of the rebels were successfully killed by LilyPrism before she managed to get away and the last attacker gave up.



For several hours the Coalition attempted to hunt down the rebels to no avail until an anonymous tip was given and a land claim and small fort named "Stonks" was discovered in a mesa biome West of Nordinbad. Soon after its discovery by the Coalition, soldiers began to gather in the area to fight and negotiate. Nero Terazawa Shigetada, a bandit loyal to the Coalition had gone up the mountain where the small structure was and began to try and force them out followed by another bandit.

The two attempted to negotiate them out of the building, which quickly turned to intermediate fighting as the Ellysian rebels opened and closed the doors consistently to allow them to shoot flaming arrows at the Coalition soldiers. The fighting however never really went anywhere and eventually most of the players on the Coalition side left. Eventually, after the rebels felt they were safe though they began to pack their things and evacuate Stonks.

Ultimately, Nero was temporarily banned for using a "door glitch" to hit the Ellysian rebels and the Ellysian rebel and former Mayor of Atta, Wernerkek, was banned forever for making an illegal claim in the city of Atta after losing the war in addition for defending fascism and making racist comments on Discord.



A war was eventually declared against the claim of Stonks, and at around 22 June 2021 13:40 EST, a coalition force of over fifteen people surrounded the small fort of Stonks which wasn't defended by the Ellysian rebels. The fort was raided promptly and blown up partially with TNT. This further delegitimized the pro-Ellysian movement as being characterized by cowardice.

The next day, it was announced that the Ellysian rebels had officially disbanded once and for all, forever abandoning any hope of reestablishing an Ellysian state.

On the 26 June, Fnis, a prolific former Ellysian citizen, attempted to make a reformation of the Ellysian Empire by establishing a rebel group known as the Freedom Imperium. This backfired severely however as the message declaring the formation of the group was deleted by mods for unfairly and profanely falsely slandering the leader of Regnum Drakaes.
