Allium-Coalition War

The Allium-Coalition War, uncommonly referred to as the Dandelion War was a conflict between the Allium Alliance led by the Bardonian Empire and the Third Rathnir Coalition (informally called the Southern Coalition), a series of allied states led by the Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa.

At the time that the war had broken out, it was the largest conflict of any kind in the history of the not only Rathnir but the entire server as it involved two-thirds of all Rathnirian nations and over four hundred combatants. The beginning of the war is often recognized as being the onset of the Bardonian Spring as nations seceded from Bardonia and formed an alliance with Viodoxa and their respective allies causing an otherwise internal revolt not uncommon to many nations into an outright massive world war unlike any the world had ever seen prior.

Battle of New Dorasterrock
Main article: Battle of New Dorasterrock

The main battle of the Allium-Coalition war was fought at New Dorasterrock, the Bardonian capital. Bardonia initially gave orders to abandon the city, however, the player Slickfull refused to go and prepared a last stand. This show of bravery prompted more soldiers, including the commanding officer of the Bardonians, Crezy, to return. They amassed around 20-30 soldiers and fortified the senate building for an assault. Nearby, the coalition had amassed an incredible force of an estimated 130 fighters, though estimates vary owing to the large number of different nations they came from. The following assault was a largely disorganised mess, but a preliminary strike against the archers on top of the senate building, combined with sheer weight of numbers, completely overwhelmed the defenders. In fact, the main battle was over out before some coalition units even arrived on the battlefield, a testament to either the strength or chaos that was the coalition army. A few minor attempts were made to counterattack using invisibility potions, followed by a more concentrated effort by the hands to retake the city following the Battle of the Pillars of the Sun, but nothing could displace the attackers. The Bardonian capital had fallen, and the war was all but over.

At the same time as the battle of New Dorasterrock, a group of coalitions fighters attacked the Pillars of the Sun. The Pillars were nominally independent, and thus neutral, but it was attacked anyway in an attempt to draw away The Hands. The attackers were slaughtered - 33 Coalition soldiers were killed and not a single Bardonian died. Though a tactical catastrophe, the battle was still a strategic victory for the coalition, as the hands were stuck fighting in a city that wasn't even supposed to be part of the war, whilst over a hundred soldiers stormed the capital with ease. However, it is worth noting that many of the Pillars defenders were Hands members who had already resolved not the fight, only defending the neutral city due to friendship with HimoS401, and disgust that the coalition would assault a neutral city.

Bardonian Reconstruction
The Empire of Bardonia was restructured into a republic with no single head of state, not even a chancellor. Specific people were restricted from having any power within said government. Bardonia was also given the right to defend it's lands, but can not act in any way deemed aggressive by the Coalition members. The Coalition also reserved the right to interfere with the Bardonian government should in the event that an imperialistic, or expansionist government would take power.
