Farmland Bandits

During the peace process between Second Empire of Uldarash and Viodoxa, some players of unknown origin had launched an attack on Uldarashi city of Sanctuary, and were quickly defeated by the Uldarashi, however due to be tipped off by an unknown source, the Hand had appeared and attacked the raiders and the Uldarashi. The Uldarashi, seeking not to further escalate the conflict and waste equipment in such a tense period quickly retreated, leaving the raiders to be massacred by the hand.

### The First Raid on Fornost

Several hours after this conflict a group of raiders by the name of \_b\_e\_r\_d\_, Skinnyee, and Jacksonkilledyou launched a raid on the city of Fornost, the capital of Aurora, and the de facto capital of the Empire, killing the pets of several of the citizens there, violating one of tenants of state religions of Fornost, Pavlovism, where pets are afforded the utmost respect. In response to these brutal, and uncalled for actions, the Aurorans quickly responded, with one of the owner's of said pet's, 7\_x quickly chasing after the bandits, killing a few, before being overpowered by one of the bandits who was confirmed to be using hacks, and soon after banned. During this chase, 7\_x had notified Auroran leadership, who followed close after. King Aurelian had enlisted the help of several Viodoxans who volunteered, citing personal vendetta. Among their number were Valen, and tylerlikesanime, who also went after the bandits, showing a brief moment of unity between the rival Uldarashi and Viodoxans against their deplorable foes.

### The Second Raid on Fornost

The next day the Skinnyee, \_b\_e\_r\_d and Gourbit declard war on Sanctuary giving the defenders 24 hours to prepare for the attack. In the meantime the bandits launched another attack on Fornost, this time with the help of mercenaries. Not wanting to anger these mercenaries Canine14 ordered everyone to stay inside the castle and wait out the raid. After some time the defenders started walking outside with out any equipment to chat with attackers. Seeing that nothing would be gained and not wanting to waste more time the mercenaries began to leave. But for some unkown reason before leaving the mercenaries killed Skinnyee, \_b\_e\_r\_d and Gourbit.

### The Battle of the Farmlands

Before the battle Timeken spent the day fortefing Sanctuary defences. At some point Timeken went out to the farm outside the city to gather wheat and stumble upon the bandits hideout under the farmland. He tried to find an entrence, but before he could Skinnyee came back. Not knowing if more bandits were around he quickly retreated to Sanctuary. Before the battle took place the bandits sent two scouting parties to investigate the city's defences, both of which were killed.

At the start of the battle Uldarash had managed to gather 10 defenders while the attackers were only 4. Just before the start of the battle two of the bandits Phloopy and GofOfMicrowaves tried to trick the Uldarashi defenders that they were new recruits wanting to join the city. Not falling for this the defenders slayed them once the battle started. Seeing that the bandits were outnumbered and undergeared, the Uldarashi forces launched a counter attack on the bandits hideout. Although the Uldarashi forces could not enter the hideout they still manged to kill some of the bandits through a hole in the roof. TheDoctor621, an independent bandit under the pseudonym 'MrTurf', was taking pot-shots at both sides during the entire battle. After the battle ended Phloopy negotieated a peace deal with Timeken. The bandits would leave Uldarashi land and in returen Uldarashi forces would not come after them.
