Drakaen-Andliran War

The Drakaen-Andlirian War, known in the Regnum Drakaes as the Andlirian War of Subjugation, was a military conflict between Drakesland and Andliria, stemming from a territorial dispute that resulted in the subjugation and annexation of Andliria.
== History ==
=== Background and causes ===
Tensions rose when Andliria, a native race and kingdom to Eldham, claimed to own land in the newly discovered (for the Drakaens) Vircon Strait. However Drakesland, a member of the UNE, claimed that the territories Andliria held rightfully was theirs. The Drakesland offered a harsh demand to Andliria, either to join it as an autonomous Princely State, or leave the region entirely. Andliria promptly refused both offers since they viewed them as very extreme, but offered for another compromise to be made to settle the dispute. Drakesland later on accused Andliria of claiming territories that belonged to other nations, which Andliria denied these claims, and stated that the Drakesland was being an imperialist and expansionist nation. Due to their hostility, and an Andlirian condemnation in the UNE, Drakesland declared war on Andliria on June 8, 2021.
=== The war ===
The Drakaens marched into Andlirian lands, but met no resistance at all. The reason for this being that the Drakesland didnt give Andliria any information on what time a battle would commence, making no Andlirian soldiers be present for the war on the capital of Andliria, Romantello. When the Drakaens walked into the city and saw no resistance or opposing army, they decided to slaughter all pets and animals they could find, before proceeding to ransack the houses of the civilians.
Mysteriously, the Drakaens killed three Andlirians despite no Andlirian soldier being present at the battle. It was later discovered Drakaen agents had infiltrated Romantello, and allowed for those kills to be made. 
=== Aftermath ===
The Drakesland Autarchy with its newfound lands promptly reformed into the Regnum Drakaes due to their newly acquired territory. The Andlirians were kicked from their native lands, their only town ransacked and destroyed by the Drakaen attempts to leave no trace of their existence. Any Andlirians who tried stay were either forced to leave or killed on the spot. The Andlirians, whose nation was destroyed, then seeked refuge in Visio. They later took over the country, and reestablished Andliria around their new capital of Konimu.
== Later perception and cultural impact ==
=== In Drakaes and its successors ===
Except for the short period in which they had good relations with Andliria, when it was part of the League of Vircon, the Drakaens (in this subsection, the word drakaen is to be understood as from Regnum Drakaes, but also its successors like Valreach or Amarillo) always had a rather good perception of what they call the "Andlirian war of Subjugation". While it is very rarely openly glorified, it still is seen in Drakaen memory as a time of conquest. 
However, most references to the war in Drakaen countries are done in an ironic or humoristic tone. Sometimes, the jokes are directed towards Andliria or its successor, Pasifa. In that case, the main purpose is to reference the war and say it could happen again, or to make fun of the Andlirian's performance during the battle. Another way to make fun of the war, which is very widespread too in the Drakeslands, is to mock Drakaes itself, mainly the killing of the dog and the suspicious way it got three kills. Very often, if not most of the time, jokes about the Drakaen-Andlirian war combine those two comical traits.
