## Background

**Aquila VS Soul Hunters**.

**Losses**

Hunters

Piglins

The Soul Hunters purpose is to collect souls, they are ordered to do this by the God of Death, Bwonsamdi, or Baron Saturday.

Killing disorganized trolls and lost olympians worked at first, but when the Soul Hunters started targeting aquilans, especially the child soldier known as Herrmage, whom at the time appearantly was considered a possible heir to the throne, for their agressive soul harvesting.

Lord Commander Honkimus (De facto ruler of Aquila since the disappearance of king Clockwrk) ordered preparations be made for a military expedition. The flagship Fist of Nanook lowered anchor within view of the Island of Lost Souls.

The aquilans asked the olympians to join them, giving numerical advantage to the invading force.

Hell was about to descend upon the Island and the Soul Hunters prepared their defenses against a force that outnumbered them 3 or 4 to 1.

Several trailers and videos have been made about this war and it can be found in the Discord group called #server-videos

## Course of the War

The war starts at the Fist of Nanook where the aquilan spawn beds are located. Disembarking into smaller boats, the aquilan fleet sailed to the Port of Lost Souls and landed by the gates, close to the Swap-Meet-Pete-shop.

Honkimus was acting as general launched an assault at dawn.

They gathered outside the Dead Gates and start blowing it up with TNT, forcing their way on to the walled beach where Swap Meet Petes' is. The island seemed deserted but it soon turned out to be haunted by more than rumors. Sassparo the Berserker was unleashed by the Baron. Being the fastest player on the server the aquilans could not chase him down so they kept close. Once the Soul Hunters Mikethemike1 and Artsycorn led the defense against the invaders but doom seemed inevetable for the tiny island nation.

The aquilan forces initially met with great success. They broke the defense, overwhelmed the rest and pushed onwards. Victory was near for Aquila and their allies. When Mikethemike1 was at 2 hearts, being beat up by the 3 strongest aquilans at the same time, it looked like all hope was lost...

Then at the crucial moment, a jukebox started blasting the anthrm of the Piglin Empire. The Heavy Division of the Piglin Army, led by General IsakSauce, charged in and turned the tide of the battle. Shocked by this fresh, rested army striking violently, in combination with the psychological warfare of high priest Saleera screaming religious propaganda like a biblical prophet of doom, the aquilans had to retreat and reorganize.

The aquilans where thrown off the island a sea battle ensued.

## Pushed back

**Aftermath:**

The war ended in the Piglins burning down the Fist of Nanook and shattering Aquila's reputation of invincibility. Without their spawn beds close to the action, the aquilan military effort, badly prepared and facing constraints because of the fall of king Clockwrk\_Boombox just days before.

**Impact:**

On the world stage, the war changed little in form of borders. Aquila lost their flagship and a lot of money, but more shattering was perhaps the loss of the Lord Commander Honkimus. Aquilans only respect strength and the lord commander losing his first war, after being Lord commander for only 2 days, shattered the aura of invincibility they had come to garner under the reign of king Clockwrk.

Soul Hunters continued harvesting souls, now backed up by the most feared military on earth. This would continue until the **year 61 (2021-12-05)** King Pontelicious of the Soul Hunters went crazy in the Mad Potion-storyline, finally being put down by the piglin Razzelkines. Slain by the same allies whom had previously enabled their violent soul harvesting, the future for the Soul Hunters remain uncertain.
