First Coalition War

The conflict has ended however the name is still being decided on.



The War was a conflict between the Trillium Alliance and allies against a coalition of states led by Yimmu-Audal. Declared by Empress Carpicious of Yimmu Audal, it saw four major conflicts.

This war is also known as the Sea of Pearls War, the Trillium War, the Coalition War, the World War, and the Server War.

Background & Causes
The buildup for the war mainly consisted of the buildup of tensions between Yimmu Audal and Escharia. The two empires have historically been at odds geopolitically, as they border each other and have contested claims over the Sea of Pearls.

The first recorded outbreak between the two empires was in the Etscharien-YA war on October 2nd, which was a part of the Turtlonian wars. This was a single battle over an unreturned set of netherite, and ultimately resulted in a YA victory. However, the two empires were not nearly as powerful and influential on the server then as they are during the Coalition war.

On November 18, tensions flared up again after civil war broke out in YA after the coronation of Empress Dalatra. Escharia backed some of the rebels, the Commonwealth of Alteniquia (aka the Social Audal Union). YA eventually won the civil war, and the CoA was reincorporated as a more autonomous region.

On November 23rd, the Last Bastion, which had recently declared independence from YA during the Dalatran Civil War, was besieged by members of Trillium. Trillium overtook the keep, and TheRealJay2 had snuck into a Bardonian base and stole a lot of gear. While Trillium gave the keep back to Yimmu-Audal, this act of stealing gear by the Supreme Commander of YA helped to sour relations

On December 16th, the events of the Usurpation of Yimmu-Audal took place, where SikkieOst proclaimed himself the new Emperor of Yimmu-Audal under the banner of Escharia due to instability from Dalatra's resignation as YA Empress. This put the legitimacy of Yimmu-Audal's sovereignty into question under the claimed suzerainty of Escharia, now reorganized into the Soleannen Empire. Practically, Yimmu-Audal stayed an independent state, and this was confirmed when Carpicious was inaugurated as the new Empress on December 21st by the YA Council of Elders. However, this event marked when it was generally accepted that there would be a grand war between YA and Escharia, the only question was when it would happen.

On January 1, the expected war finally came with Carpicious declaring war on the Trillium Alliance. By this time, she had become the Mad Empress, devoted to her god called Entropy. "I declare war against the entirety of the Trillium. They are too intermingled, and they keep the world too organized and restricted. My goddess, my diety, Entropy herself, has commanded me to break apart this overpowered gratuitous powerhouse. YA will fight Escharia, ripping free its independence once and for all, and confronting the conflict between the two ancient enemies brewing for far too long." - Empress Carpicious, January 1

The main reasons for this war, then, are the imbalance of power created by the Escharia-Bardonia-Sterling Crownlands formed Trillium Alliance, as well as the Usurpation of Yimmu-Audal, which has weakened the authority of the Empress-ship over the lands.

Battle of Cahaurn
After the battle on January 5, Escharien began to occupy large swaths of Audaladae lands- particularly up through the Last Bastion and a strip on the Sea of Pearls.

Skirmish of the Valley
Mostly fought by allies of YA against Bardonia on January 6th.

These events prompted Carpicious to give a speech to the people of Rathnir:

It has come to my attention, that the citizens of Rathnir might not understand the gravity of the situation. The battle this Saturday is not YA v Trillium. It is the WORLD against Trillium. This weekend, the greatest forces we can gather will never be more organized, more collected, more United then at this time. I dare you to get as many people aligned to one cause as will be Saturday. I DARE you to get as many people rallied to the same fight as this battle will hold. And still - and YET - it might not be enough. Citizens of Rathnir, the stakes have never been higher. I am not merely attacking Trillium to disband an enemy. If Trillium wins, they know full well they can take on the WORLD. If Trillium wins. They know there is no alliance. No coalition. No Collection of people. No tactics, or negotiations, or any other means that could stop them from Taking what they want, no questions asked. If Trillium wins. It could start a tirade of world domination. The rest of Rathnir is broken and separated in small towns and individuals, but Trillium. Trillium banded together their power, making them out matched by miles. I'm doing my best to bridge the gap, but it STILL might not be enough. TRILLIUM believes it won't be enough. If you think you can sit on the side lines, you're not understanding. If I lose. If WE lose. Any one of you could be subject to their reign, and no matter how many people you call to for help. If Trillium so decided - it would mean nothing. THIS is our only chance to fight back. To rip apart the alliance before they can devour the whole world, reshaping it - reshaping your nation, your cities, your cottage towns in the woods - into their own image. Rathnir. You must stand with me. We can't afford to lose. This is greater than YA - its greater than ME. It's all of us. Losing just isn't an option. Fight.
