Loic’s War

The Second Viper War was a conflict that took place on March 2nd, 2021.

Causes
On March 1st, player D3bi established a large claim over the land transitional of Ummarnu and Haven- the northern Mesa territory of Uldarash, Yanren, and other small states. Emperor RumKnight9k responded to this by declaring war on D3bi, whatever this new Sewor Mafia entity was, and likely the Escharien Spirits that D3bi leads.

''"The Golden Ring of Haven will stand against these ignorant people who try and claim our lands for no other reason other to increase the eastern influence into the west. Uldarash has stood against this since the beginning. We continue to do so. We prepare for war." -Emperor Rumknight9K''

Uldarash was the main force in a fairly new alliance of Haven, called the Golden Ring. The members of this at the time of war were- Aurora, the Holy Chevkri Empire, Paloro, Trafalgar, Kush (joining after the declaration of Sewor Mafia) and Uldarash. Aurora was the main ally to come to the side of Uldarash in this war.

The presence of Aurora in this war, and in particular Canine14, brought in the interest of Viodoxa. Viodoxa and Aurora have had a rough relationship since the Auroran War. This incident involved Canine14 receiving some information about Viodoxa's troops. Lothaire_, the leader of Valentum, Viodoxa, claimed this to prove Canine14 was spying on his nation and therefore in violation of their former treaty. This, along with Lothaire_ being religiously Soleannen and allied with the Escharian Spirits, brought them into the war.

Battle of Sanctuary
The war was a single battle at the Uldarashi capital of Sanctuary. The Escharian Spirits D3bi, Bojijoy, as well as KeepersIndyDaddy, did most of the heavy fighting with the Aurorans and Uldarashi. This was mainly in the newly built alleys of the city, where the building roofs are brown. Here, the defenders were repeatedly killed. Meanwhile, the Viodoxan band marched in a cohesive group around below Sanctuary (since it is floating). They looted the items of some unclaimed territories, and eventually made their way up to the door into the city walls. They were behind it until one of the defenders, thinking these were reinforcements from the Golden Ring, opened the door. The Viodoxans came into the city and killed the unarmored residents a couple of times, mostly before just hanging out in the battlefield.

Aftermath
The Second Viper War demonstrated that the Escharian Spirits could overpower the nations of Haven. Uldarash was disintegrated in this defeat. The kingdom of Sanctuary was created, as well as the Protectorate of Aruna, which is now under Viodoxan control. Much territory in Uldarash's east was ceded to Soumaire. The Kingdom of Aurora was not officially disbanded, but following the war, it was heavily expected that this would be the result.
