== History ==
=== Hanarian perspective ===
It all started with a man called Noah Hospikan. He immigrated to Hyria after becoming friends with some of the nation's citizens. He decided to settle in the Lordship of Hyrenheim and sometimes helped make certain materials like EXP bottles, though most of his time was spent exploring Rozakko'ra and making friends throughout the continent.
08/07/2024 - He returned from an exploration trip to Rozow and was shocked to see that Hyria had become a member state of the Imperial Republic of Calarith. He felt almost betrayed by Hyria for joining Calarith, so he went to his newfound friends throughout the continent to help him fund an independence movement in the south of Hyria.
09/07/2024 - He decided to start a succession movement in the south of the Province of Astana and declared himself king of a new kingdom called Hanaria, he also got citizens from other nations to join the nation on the promise of money and glory. Though that would soon come to backfire on him as he took in a citizen from Hyria called Urias.
Over the coming days there would incursions by spies in Hanaria, while this was going on Urias was gaining Noahs trust to make him second-in-command, which he got his wish of being the second-in-command after building enough trust with Noah Hopsikan on 11/07/2024.
When Noah Hopsikan was sleeping the Hyrian Defense Force marched into Hanaria and dissolved the kingdom and put down the movement and when Noah Hopsikan woke up he saw Hyrian flags everwhere. they would end up exiling Noah Hopsikan to a bordering state which he was still able to keep some of his money.
He would end up dying in the Town Of Nuprea a few months later of a heart attack, though his son Frederick Hopsikan would have Anti-Hyrian sentiments put in his head by his father and he vowed revenge on them.
=== Hyrian perspective ===
Days prior to joining Calarith, Hyria had undergone some small-scale border incursions to the west. Noah's departure from Hyria did not draw much attention at the time, but it was later viewed as a great betrayal and an illegal act of secession when it was discovered that he had set up a small town in the southwest with the backing of unnamed foreign donors. Once it became clear that he intended to establish an independent kingdom that would not integrate with Hyria, the leadership took action and formed a secret task force of six people to ensure the town would be reintegrated into Hyria's mainland territory. 
== Operation Dragon Lake ==
Hyria tasked Urias Blackstone with infiltrating the town's leadership and getting as close to Noah as possible, while the rest of the task force intentionally tried to intimidate Noah with armed incursions and threats of retaliation. Lingua fain'Bythnia played the role of negotiator, attempting to broker a deal with Hanaria that led to an ultimatum: integrate with Hyria or vacate the land. As days passed, Hyria increased the number of incursions and gathered more intelligence on Hanaria and its backers, while Urias gained Noah's trust and approached a position of power in Hanaria. Urias officially left Hyria and resigned from his position as mayor of Hyrenheim to become a full-time Hanarian citizen, further earning Noah's trust. During one incursion, a Hyrian legionary named Mars fain'Bythnia killed a Hanarian citizen in a duel.
On the 11th, Noah transferred partial state power to Urias Blackstone, who, as soon as Noah fell asleep, allowed a regiment of the Hyrian army to quietly march into the town of Hanaria. Together with Zepellin Montrose, Lingua fain'Bythnia, John Blackstone, and Timesplash, Urias declared the town sovereign Hyrian territory and renamed it "Mazkainium." Lingua then went on a diplomatic mission to inform every nation with which Hanaria had alliances and agreements that the Kingdom had been disestablished and that Hyria recognized their attempt at backing a secessionist movement within its borders.
When Noah awoke, he was greeted by Hyrian flags flying over the town he had owned mere hours before. He was promptly exiled to Yimmuralia after being given some of his valuables and money back. Urias was recognized for his role in ensuring the downfall of the Kingdom of Hanaria, and upon his return to Hyria, he established an offshoot branch of the Blackstone Legion called the Dragon's Legion.
== Aftermath ==
After Hanaria's disestablishment the Hanarian leadership was exiled to Yimmuralia, which would grant them a sector around an iceberg to make a new town in, called Nuprea. Leadership of Mazkainium was handed over to Timesplash, who had plans to make it a strong border fortress, the town itself was renamed to Grevsreach, combining the title of the Hyrian head of state (grev) with the natural reach of water around it. Timesplash quickly went about terraforming the large mountainside to make the town's defences more effective.
