Khanate War

The Khanate War was a series of battles between the First and Second Empire of Uldarash against the Khanate of Haven (originally named the Haven Company.) The participating states on Uldarash's side consisted of Aurora, Paloro, Sanctuary, and later on Boulderov.
== Background ==
Following The Coup Of Paloro, Asahiri was left abandoned by Paloro and King Keechoo was just getting back onto his feet, adjusting to a much lower population. Incoming MidgeApe, who declared the Haven Company, with the simple goal of rebuilding Asahiri to its former glory and proclaiming it their capital. Originally calling themselves the Order of the Eye, they did not tell Paloro nor Uldarash of these new claims, and when discovered, were quickly confronted.
Keechoo offered to allow the company as a business in Paloro that would work on behalf of the nation. He was quickly declined and, upon gathering further information, came across MidgeApe's plans to invade Paloro. Confronting the Golden Ring of Haven — a large, decentralized military alliance — the members were quickly informed and anticipating a battle.
== Battles ==
Overall, the Khanate War consisted of three battles spread throughout the course of two months. The first battle, however, was only an initial raid. Despite this, for sake of conveying as much information as concisely as possible, it will be credited as such.
=== The Sanctuary Raid Against the Haven Company ===
A few days after the discovery of the Khanate, Keechoo was slain by MidgeApe in Palovina while he was farming slimes. He quickly informed the Golden Ring, and the Sanctuary Raid began. Members of the Khanate (Still called the Haven Company at this time) were gathered around Keechoo's house in Palovina as reinforcements from Aurora, Kush and Uldarash arrived. A member of the Khanate was trapped in dirt at the top of Keechoo's house and the other Khanate members quickly fled. Following their departure, permission to attack was granted, and the majority of the Khanate either died or left the game— only to die when they came back online later.
MidgeApe in particular had left before he could get hit, and the ground below him was dug down to bedrock, with lava on the way down, and one person stationed to finish them off and monitor if the trap had worked. Thankfully, it did, and MidgeApe had died, seemingly leaving him to abandon his time with the Haven Company.
==== A Short In-Between ====
A few days after the Haven Company fled Asahiri, the First Empire of Uldarash collapsed, leaving the remaining states to squabble for the unclaimed land that remained. This lead to the Second Empire of Uldarash, though the Haven Company had not left Haven's company for good. Declaring themselves the Khanate of Haven, they migrated Westward and claimed a chunk of the former Uldarash's territory, and took to a lifestyle of raiding for goods. 
MidgeApe resigned himself as the leader, leaving Mlgkiddoritofan to become the new leader. Having close relations with a number of members of the First and Second Empire of Uldarash, he opted to join the Empire, only for him to be couped by his citizens and replaced by JurorsD, who continued to oversee the Khanate throughout the rest of the war.
=== The First Battle of Bulgan ===
Then, on April 9th, 2021, the First Battle of Bulgan began. Uldarashi forces arrived from Lormere in the North, and a number of Boulderov members arrived from the South as well. Effectively no Khanate forces were present, but Uldarash still managed to win the war with over 25 kills. Uldarashi forces only sustained a single loss due to friendly fire. Loot was taken and victory was met well by the Uldarashi side.
=== The Second Battle of Bulgan ===
The next battle began on April 16th, where Uldarashi forces numbering roughly 20 were prepping on all sides. Largely disorganized due to their numbers, the armies were eager for a fight. A good number of mishaps occurred before the fight, but to no detriment. For one, a Paloran expedition was started by Paloran troops who decided it would be a good idea to head to Lormere over an hour before the war would start. A number of men were meant to be directed to Fornost for supplies, but did not show up. Uldarashi spies, infamous for not existing in previous endeavors, had gathered intel that mercenaries such as BacktotheHub and several Bardonians were to be present at the battle. This lead to a quick panic where Aurora had to out bid the Khans for Hub's assistance , and a number of people rushed to Bardonia to explain that they could not attend the battle due to their agreements by being a part of the New Guard.

Once the war was soon to begin, a rally was held in Palovina, where troops were geared with Uldarashi Shields for easy identification and were sent off towards Lormere, where they would sail towards Bulgan. Landing on a small, sandy shoreline, it was quickly declared to be named "Swag Beach" as it was littered with signs proclaiming "swag", "trans rights" and "Paloran Supremacy". Once the war was nearing further, the troops headed off to Bulgan.
JurorsD was the only citizen present to fight off the entire Uldarashi army, despite intel stating upwards of ten troops. He was quickly slain and looted, and the rest of the time spent in the city was well to be wasted. Troops swam in a water hole that went straight to bedrock, and sat by a cozy campfire during the rain. The war was won, though met with mixed reception — many men anticipated a more active battlefield, and more fighting overall. Either way, the claims of the Khanate were ultimately null, and Uldarash had successfully retaken the land.
