The Alamayni Independence War

The Alamayni Independence War was a conflict fought between the Constitutional Republic of Alamayn and its allies against the combined forces of the Sapphire Commonwealth and the Kingdom of Mithra. After the Fourth Siege of Adwa, however, the fighting mainly took place between Alamayn and her allies against the Second Empire of Plagatéa as the Kingdom of Mithra had been absorbed by Kyydrosil and the Sapphire Commonwealth had been dissolved.
== Background ==
=== Succession Crisis and Annexation ===
:Main article: Alamayn Civil Wars
Between September and October of 2021, a succession crisis occurred within Alamayn that saw Cusless Alamay, the democratically elected leader after Luke6556's abdication, couped from power by Bag and Bee. After their coup, Bag and Bee were removed from power by a national vote that granted Badflex the office of Grand Sultan though he was couped shortly after by Bag and Bee once more. 
Hungry for more land, the Varandoy-Aestyria Kingdom worked with Bag and Bee to annex Alamayn, forming the Kingdom of Mithra. Taking advantage of the chaos, the imperialistic Second Empire of Plagatéa also participated in the land grab, claiming all of Alamayn's territory in Plagos. Although this move put them and the VAK at odds, they eventually came together and signed a mutual defense pact that partitioned Alamayn's land between the two countries. 
=== Battle at Kharis ===
In November of 2021, Plagatéan leadership accused King Monkius Magnus, the then leader of the Kingdom of Aljazair, of plotting against them with other Alamanyians to destabilize and destroy Mithra and the Sapphire Commonwealth. Although Monkius had technically defected from Alamayn during their period of civil war, the Plagatéans were untrusting of the people whose land they had stolen. 
A battle ensued at Kharis, the capital of Aljazair, on November 6th. Although Plagatéa claimed the victory, it later came to the attention of the Commonwealth and Aljazairans that the Plagatéans had mistook Magnus for somebody else, (namely Oxaxefax, who had allied himself with Kyydrosil) revealing the embarrassing blunder that had been made. From this point, Aljazair's citizens burdened a grudge against the Commonwealth, further fueled by an exploitative and oppressive peace treaty offered by Plagatéan leadership that would have seen the Aljazairans stripped of their power and rights.
=== Coup of Bag and Bee ===
On December 6th, 2021, the combined political power of Ali bin-Saifu al-Amilaki, Bolivar 1819, Monkius Magnus of Aljazair, and Badflex -- the former Grand Sultan of Alamayn -- dethroned Bag and Bee in a coup that lasted less than 30 seconds. After the previous rulers' deposition, bin-Saifu assumed control of Alamayn as Grand Sultan and was supported in this move by J2, the reigning King of Mithra at that time. 
=== Troubles in Mithra ===
As bin-Saifu stabilized Alamayn, J2 stepped down and was replaced by Murad. Finding the position of King to be too much, Murad also withdrew his claim to the throne and this passed on to Dusk Synderys, a young and inexperienced politician. His reign was noted as being highly incompetent with a lack of cohesive leadership and unpredictability. In fact, Dusk threatened the 4th Bardonian Empire that resulted in tensions escalating to the brink of warfare.
Seeing the opportunity, bin-Saifu and other Alamayni leadership quickly came into contact with Ianak, a Mithran noble. Using their combined political might, the Alamaynis and Ianak led a coup d'etat and overthrew Dusk. Ianak was installed but remained King for only one day as he was quickly overthrown after his intentions of handing Mithra over to the Bardonians and granting Alamayn independence came to light.
