Sack of Novigrad

The Sack of Novigrad was a war between the NCCC and the Republic of Novigrad in 243 ACS. The war was strategically inconclusive, though in the long term reinforced the rivalry between the two Nations for the centuries to come.
== History ==
=== Prelude ===
Shortly after the beginning of the the third season of the Cumania Minecraft Server, Frisia discovered that part of his colony of New Reno had been destroyed. Immediately he suspected Americana of doing this, as the two had a dispute over the colony in the second season of the server. Frisia confronted Americana, and demanded 32 Stone Bricks as repayment for the damage. Americana was quick to refuse this.
=== Occupation of Temeria Castle ===
After a debate in chat, Frisia moved into Temeria Castle and occupied the region, saying he would not leave until the demanded repayment was provided. Brazilian declared that Carthage did not support the NCCC's actions, and even tried to force Frisia to leave, although this failed. After some time had passed, the option of war was brought up. Shortly after, the NCCC officially declared war on the Republic of Novigrad.
=== The Sack of Novigrad ===
Frisia landed on the south-eastern coast of Novigrad and then proceeded to attack the only house built in the city at that point. After Americana had been killed, he started looting the chests, killing Americana again, until he was killed by Americana. Frisia stated he would be willing to sign white peace now, though no peace agreement was ever reached. 
=== Influences and Effects ===
The Sack of Novigrad was, in the end, strategically inconclusive as the items taken from Novigrad were given back a day later. However, the effects of the war are still visible to this day. The pretense set in the sack that the NCCC could declare its own wars helped to contribute to the withdrawal of the Company from Carthage, an event which set in motion the fall of Carthage. The War was used as part of the justification for the Great Northern War, and it deepened the inherent conflict and paranoia between the Company and Novigrad, which would eventually lead to the fall of the North Sea Cooperative, the unstable alliance between the two established after the fall of Carthage, and the subsequent Sack of Saikyo, a short war between Novigrad and the Nozatetsu (to which the NCCC had reformed) in 306 ACS which would result in the explusion in the company from the Western Continent.
