The Malgo Crisis

**The Malgo Crisis** was a conflict fought between the Qamari Sultanate and its allies and the Republic of Ferea and its allies. A series of disagreements and misunderstandings between the two former allies would cause a rift that would ultimately result in the breaking down of relations and culminate in the **Battle of Ferea**.

### **Leadup to the conflict**

#### Origins of the Monestary

Cavianity was deeply rooted in the Kingdom of Faltírvars and is thus very important to it and it's people. Because of its importance, Faltírvars would found and upkeep religious buildings like monestaries and churches throughout Iaddithis. One of these monasteries, though of a loosely related religious group, would be built in southern **Addia**, close to the strait of Ferea. Though it was far south from the nation, **Faltírvars** would protect the monestary and the land around it for a long time to the annoyance of Qamari and Ferea, who didn't like **Varsic** presence in the south-east.

#### Ferean Ultimatum

It wouldn't be long until Ferea, with support from the **Garden Union**, would contact Faltírvars in an attempt to get them to leave the monestary and give it to **Ferea**. However, due to a breakdown of communications between the 2 parties Ferea, supported by Terraorienties, would send an ultimatum to Faltirvars in which they demanded the monestary would be transferred to **Ferean** ownership. This was to the outrage of many including **Ferea**'s allies, **Qamari**. They were angered by **Ferea** escalating the tensions and them threatening to cause a second world war between the **Garden Union** and **Faltírvars**. Because of this their relations soured.

#### Nivir is given ownership

After negotiations between Ferea, Qamari, Terraorientis and Faltírvars it was decided that the monestary would be given to Nivir, a young nation that was situated next to the monestary, as a compromise, preventing a second world war. Ferea at first would not agree, demanding that the monestary would be given to them. But after they made a secret agreement with Qamari, where they would be allowed to declare war on Nivir after two weeks and take the monestary back, they agreed.

## The Battle of Ferea

### **The Crisis and War**

#### Qamari pulls out of the agreement with Ferea

After Qamari made a deal with Ferea, where they would allow Nivir to annex the monastery, but where **Ferea** would be allowed to declare war on **Nivir** in two weeks, they decided that the agreement was not acceptable and pulled out of it. **Ferea** was told that an attack on **Nivir** would not be allowed by **Qamari** and to put a stop to their plans for an invasion of **Nivir** or **Qamari** would intervene militarily, this breached the agreement made between the two, which outraged **Ferea**.

#### Qamari declares war

Despite Qamari's objections and warnings, Ferea would decline and continue to mobilize, starting construction of a wall around their city, and preparing many netherite armor sets for a war. Seeing this, **Qamari** decided to act preemptively and declared war on **Ferea**. They were joined by Nivir, Faltírvars and the **NEP**. **Ferea** was joined by **Terraorientis**, who saw the war as an unjustified attack on a friendly nation. Other members of the **GU** were conflicted and decided to stay out of the conflict.

#### The Battle of Ferea

The Qamari coalition decided to act first and prepared an attack on Ferea. The city was located on an island and was well defended. The coalition decided that the best way to attack the city was from the sky. Their army was split into 3. The first detachment, consisting of their best pvper's, would infiltrate the city through a pre-prepared tunnel under the strait that ultimately lead into the heart of the city. The second and third detachments would build a massive skybridge over the strait, ending over Ferea, and use slow falling to drop into the city. The **Qamari** coalition had around 60 soldiers, while **Ferea** had 23. Their plan was however cut short when before the battle had started, the first detachment was ambushed and killed. This caused a lot of confusion as the war was stopped, but many either didn't realize or ignored the announcement. A group of Fereans built up into the sky and managed to reach the skybridge, where they killed most of the **Qamari** and **Vars** soldiers who were fleeing. The battle would continue on the skybase and even on the other side of the strait, where **Ferean** soldiers managed to reach the monastery, which was being used as a military base for the battle, and attacked it.

#### Peace

After everything calmed down both sides of the conflict decided to stop the battle and sign an armistice, and after some time it would be decided that a peace would be brokered. The official Result would be a draw.
