Warlington Rebellion

The Warlington Rebellion, also referred to as the Axelmite-Castellan War, was a conflict between Grand Castell-Llozhar and Warlington, as well as the Second Kingdom of Axelm.
== Background ==
Warlington was a Town inside of Grand Castell-Llozhar located west of Gaular. The war declaration was issued by Castellan officials after the Leader of Warlington Thom Hardin refused to acccept a ridiculous ultimatum demanding him to step down and integrate his Barony of Lathalon into Gaular. Castellan leadership issued this ultimatum after creating false accusations and exaggerating what Hardin had actually done. They called out "treachery" at Thom for implementing freedom of religion and a semi democracy in his Barony, they also called out Thom for creating positive relations between Warlington and international towns across rathnir. They also exaggerated on one issue the happened within Warlington, one citizen was implemented within the city and they had forgotten to send him to the GCL international immigration office. 
Hardin, created a big deal of this declaration of war and urged foreign nations to help Warlington, he claimed GCL were an evil nation led by dictators who were ready to war deck their own nations to ensure their dominance over their population. After Thom390 called to the world of Rathnir for help, The 2nd Kingdom of Axelm recived the call to arms one of their leaders, GhostClaimax declared Warlington's secession from GCL in a message addressed to the Rathniri Cartography Guild.
Shortly after the ultimatum was denied and both parties entered a state of war, the Second Kingdom of Axelm declared its support for Warlington, joining them as an ally in the war. The Second Kingdom of Axelm, itself a rebel faction claiming ownership of Gaular due to a historic claim of its leader, supported Warlington in order to destabilize and weaken the Castellans government.
== First Battle of Warlington ==
The First Battle of the war happened in . Castellan forces vastly outnumbered the rebels and won the battle. Despite their loss, rebels claimed they held out longer than expected because the Castellan army was made up of "Droids." Even after losing the battle, rebel forces were able to keep Warlington, further expanding the war. The outcome of the First Battle of Warlington greatly angered the rebel leadership, as only a small amount of their supporters took part in the battle. In the aftermath of the battle, Axelmite rebel leaders announced their withdrawal from the war.
== Second Battle of Warlington ==
In , the Second Battle of Warlington commenced. The rebels were able to mobilize more troops of a higher quality than duing the previous engagement. Rebel leadership also successfully predicted that the Castellan army would approach from the west, as it did during the first battle.
The Castellan army proceeded to built up with hay blocks and place the cap block on top the platform they made. The rebel forces successfully charged this position and routed the Castellan troops very quickly, winning the Second Battle of Warlington. Following the conclusion of the battle, Axelmite rebels rejoined the war in support of Warlington.
== Battle of Novathebanii ==
After pushing the Castellan forces out of Warlington, the rebels decided to counter attack Novathebanii, a town in the Queendom of Thalassii-Umoris. Rebel forces travelled through Lucida to create a shortcut in the process. After a small skirmish, the Rebel army divided into two squads. This led to disunity among their the forces, which began to argue with each other. Despite these organizational issues, the rebels were able to defeat the remaining defenders and win the battle.

To celebrate their victories, the Axelmite rebel leader Crackersarecool mocked the "evil nation of Grand Castell Lhozar" for their losses and demanded them to "return the town of Gaular to its original owner (me) and we will hapilly let the rest of ur towns live." Even though the Rebels won the Battle, the Queendom of Thalassii-Umoris still managed to hold the City of Novathebanii, and after their defeat, they soon were annexed into Grand Castell-Lozhar, becoming the Umorii Shorelands, an autonomous Barony in the Nation.

== Third Battle of Warlington ==
In , Castellan forces attacked Warlington from Laumont. This was by far the most eventful battle of all, the Castellans had hired Aragotha. Meanwhile the rebel forces had hired the Scylds, the two sides having the two most prominent mercenary groups on rathnir this was going to be a battle where every detail in the claim preparation would count. The Warlington claim prep was planned to every minor detail, walls 30 blocks tall, 5 blocks thick surrounding the whole claim with a slab floor in front of the massive wall. The battle started at 3pm EST, the Castellan and Yimmu audal forces with aragothan mercenaries in their ranks arived on the western side of the wall. The defending forces waited for their enemy to initiate their assult atop of the western wall. The two armies had approximately 30-40 soldiers each, both waiting for the other to make a move. When the first attacker's assaulted the western wall, the defenders jumped down to meet them in close quarters combat. The attacking faction took casualties in a much higher rate then the defenders, after a good 5-8 minutes of fighting at the foot of the western side of the wall the attacker's managed to place a successful cap point. After successfully caping the defending claim, the attacker's pulled back to their claim of Laumont to organize a defense. The rebel forces quickly followed, knowing they new they needed to get a cap off their enemies claim to even have a chance at winning. After 40 minutes of intense fighting and capping, no cap blocks were successfully placed due to the aragothan defenders being goated defenders. The battle finished in a GCL victory. ( 0-15 )
== Fourth Battle of Warlington ==
The Fourth Battle of Warlington took place in , shortly after the Third Battle of Warlington. Castellan forces once more attacked Warlington from Laumont. Castellan forces won the battle. This led to the Collapse of Warlington, and its leadership, ending the Warlington Rebellion, with a GCL victory. Once the Castellans took control of the town, they then exiled Thom Hardin, and established direct Castellen rule over it. This led to dissolution of Warlington as a whole, with it being replaced by the town of Jorylonica, being led by the Lozaneron Monarch, Joryth Lozharo himself.
