Deliberation of Draam Territory

The Deliberation of Draam Territory includes the various meetings and negotiations over the statehood of the city-state Draamrith, which unwittingly settled on Bardonian territory.

**Early Events**

Draamrith was founded by the leader of the Draam people, Scyther, in the north west of the Mesa biome. Due to its easy access to vast amounts of gold the town grew quickly, in wealth and numbers, but it had been established between the large nations of Bardonia and Uldarash, on Bardonian land. In order to keep the land Scyther negotiated joining Bardonia as one of the nation's cities, but the negotiations were messy and unclear. The Draam people were lead to believe Draamrith had permission to stay, but Axyr was unsure about the situation. More confusion stirred when the Vice President of Draamrith, IcyGamer2020, reportedly negotiated a new deal with Uldarash, to become a city under their nation. IcyGamer2020 claimed Bardonia had allowed it. Neither of those claims were true, and it was never discovered which Uldarash official IcyGamer2020 had spoken to.

**Scyther and Axyr Conversation**

Scyther and Axyr discussed the situation, and Axyr revealed that he knew Draamrith planned to declare independence from Bardonia. However Axyr was mistaken in believing that the contested territory was on Uldarash's side of the Mesa, declaring *"You're not my problem anymore ... But if you touch my side of the mesa you people are done for. I don't do diplomacy, I am a blood cultist."*

The Uldarash Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nikephoros, got involved when Son of Furrows mentioned the town in an Uldarash forum. In order to clear things up Son of Furrows got Nikephoros and Scyther in contact. The meeting was called the Deliberation of Draam Territory. Scyther shared his conversation with Axyr to Nikephoros, and Nikephoros realized that Axyr believed the town was on Uldarash's side.

**Draamrith Deliberation 2: Electric Boogaloo**

Nikephoros organized a meeting between Scyther, Axyr, Son of Furrows, and himself, to discuss and finalize the statehood of Draamrith. He titled the meeting "Draamrith Deliberation 2: Electric Boogaloo" for unknown reasons. Axyr began the meeting by speaking of frogs, then Nikephoros informed him that Draamrith was on Bardonia's side, and Axyr ordered the town be expelled. While explaining the borders to Scyther, Nikephoros jokingly insulted the *"savage Bardonian raiders of the north"* which started an exchange of seemingly joking insults between him and Axyr, until Axyr brought the conversation back to frogs. Nikephoros then stated that Uldarash was willing to accept the Draam people into the nation, but not within the Mesa. Axyr ordered the Draam people to relocate out of Bardonian territory within 24 hours or else he would force them out.

Nikephoros: *"Alrighty then, so we don’t really want you on our side of the border, sorry."*

Axyr: *"And, for reasons that I hope are obvious, you're not welcome in Ardat either. So, regardless of what Uldarash said, you have 24h to relocate somewhere else or I am declaring war."*

Scyther asked to relocate the Draam people to Kaahiru, an Uldarash city inside the Mesa, and Nikephoros agreed, ending the issue.
