The Sacking of London

The Sacking of London was an event that transpired on the 21st of January (22nd by European time), 2022. The sack resulted in the panic of the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Ireland, the destruction of the settlement of London, the quitting of KingGecko3, the formation of the Timurids, and the first punishment of Innorune. The event is not to be categorized as a Vandal-British conflict.

### Prelude

The prelude to such an event is hard to describe and to know why it happened, especially because it has to do with Innorune. The earliest and possible cause of the event is the early - during server-launch murder of IrisFrankenstein by KingGecko3 when he was on his way to set up for the construction of the capital of the Vandal Empire, Kharaman.

After the message that IrisFrankenstein had been killed by KingGecko3 shown up, the members of the Vandal Empire that were online at the launching of the server were all confused. IrisFrankenstein, who is known for being peaceful, and staying out of fights, had stated his displeasure with what had transpired, saying that KingGecko3 is an idiot and should not have killed him, because he never had any plans to attack KingGecko3. The statement of KingGecko3 was that, IrisFrankenstein had clearly violated the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Ireland's claims by entering it, therefore they had the right to murder him. During this time, Innorune had been seen looting shipwrecks in the Northern Sea, and had asked if IrisFrankenstein wanted KingGecko3 dead, which had been concluded to a maybe.

An encounter between Innorune and KingGecko3 had occured off the coast of northern Spain, with KingGecko being the person to approach Innorune. Nothing had happened during their encounter, except the drowning of KingGecko3 and the gifting of iron tools (iron pickaxe, iron sword) to Innorune.

After around 12 minutes, the members of the Vandal Empire, with the exception of Bolty had all gathered in Gibraltar (soon to be Kharaman), and were all seen minding their own business with no sort of intention of sacking London.

### The Deluge

The start of the entire event could have been the accusations of KingGecko3 using xray, which is against rules. Bolty stated that KingGecko3 had, around 5 minutes into the starting of the server, acquired a full iron set and several diamonds. Innorune and Bolty had conversed that it is most likely true that KingGecko3 has been using xray, therefore Innorune had started to come up with ideas with the memory of the murder of IrisFrankenstein as to what to do about it.

Innorune had come up with several ideas, these being:

* The complete deforestation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Ireland
* The terraforming of the area around London into a death-trap
* The murder of all the villagers in London
* The trapping and murdering of KingGecko and Marick123

The first idea, the deforestation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Ireland had generally been agreed upon by Innorune, Bolty and IrisFrankenstein. The entrance of CheesyTheBurrito into the conversations had further enticed Innorune to commit something against KingGecko3 (and Marick). The idea of sacking London was thought up then, and it had sprung into action.

Innorune decided to set out sail towards the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Ireland, invisible on the dynamap. Innorune had successfully landed in Cornwall, and had initiated his idea of deforesting the entirety of the United Kingdom. The westernmost tip of Cornwall had been completely deforested. Innorune had encountered Natedaman, whom didn't seem to notice him. Innorune then decided that the deforestation is a huge pain, having gathered 2 full stacks of wood, and had set out towards London.

After arriving in London, Innorune had noticed a nether portal, which he broke with an iron pickaxe. After the destruction of the nether portal, Innorune had actually set out back towards Gibraltar, claiming that this was enough, however he changed his mind near Brittany. Arriving for a second time, he decided to take the crops of the settlement, and had set fire to several wooden buildings, even completely removing buildings by mining them out. He continued to cause mayhem until KingGecko3 had arrived back at the settlement, who noticing what Innorune was doing, charged him.

### The Aftermath

With London sacked, Innorune successfully fled away towards Kharaman. KingGecko3 and now Marick123, whom have learned of the sacking via KingGecko3, were enraged and annoyed. They had decided to converse with Psycha for an attack on their settlement during Truce Period. Psycha had decided that this is to be considered grief, which was against the rules of the server. During the conversation of KingGecko3, Marick123 and Psycha, Innorune had made it back to Kharaman.

Knowing full well what had happened, Innorune given most of his loot to IrisFrankenstein, who was waiting at Kharaman for his return. Innorune was expecting punishment to be upon him throughout the entire journey back to Kharaman, but it had struck after he arrived. CheesyTheBurrito is most likely behind the delay of punishment, because he had conversed with Psycha beforehand that KingGecko3 may be using xray, which seems to have been true.

Psycha had decided to punish Innorune by banning him for 1 hour, in the meantime she had started interrogating KingGecko3 about his large wealth in Netherite and other materials. KingGecko3 had pleaded innocent, with CheesyTheBurrito strongly believing that KingGecko3 was using xray. The conflict had made KingGecko not only leave the game, but quit Terranaturalis.

Marick123 and Innorune had conversed in voice-chat about what had happened and both of the sides accepted what had just happened. During this time CheesyTheBurrito had decided to leave the Arirang Corporate Federation and go off to found the Timurid Empire. With the exposure of KingGecko3 having full netherite armor, Bolty had said that the server, at that moment, became boring because of people rushing netherite instead of enjoying slow progress. Marick123 and Bolty had agreed that the server is boring. CheesyTheBurrito had coerced both of them to leave their nations and join the Timurid Empire. Marick123 and Bolty both agreed to join, with Bolty leaving the Vandal Empire and Marick123 leaving the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Ireland, which at that point had seen almost complete dissolution, with it's only members being lebondjames4 and Nyan\_Funny. Theoretically KingGecko3 is still apart of the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Ireland, but he had quit Terranaturalis.
