Dalatran Civil War

The Dalatran civil war, also known as the Interim Period, was an internal conflict of Yimmu-Audal between November 18 and November 23 that saw the attempted secession of the Social Audal Union (capital Yirs-Rock) and the Last Bastion.

   At the end of Dalatra's coronation on November 18, players Dex\_Og (the current Chief Diplomat of YA) and ViewedMarquis rebelled and killed 20+ in audience of the event. They declared themselves to be The Pillagers, and Dex\_Og swore himself as the Blood God and the real claimant to the throne of YA. He claimed that the empire had become weak under the established chain of leadership, and he populously claimed that he could reinvigorate it. Dalatra's claim to the throne was also rejected by the Social Audal Union, as they saw Dalatra as a malevolent banker who funded ill happenings around Rathnir, so they declared independence from the crown.

The members of Trillium got involved in the civil war, and there was a fight between the members of Yirs-Rock, the Pillagers, Bardonia, and StoryStudio and ThatOneGuyMatt from YA. The battle was won by the Bardonian-YA fighters, and the Pillagers fled to the The Last Bastion. The battle at Yirs-Rock saw the town and its territories reincorporated as the "Union of Anoshphey Commonwealths Audalad Autonomy", now having more autonomy than before, as well as the public execution of the SAU rebel leader Ean Carroweather by Gray\_Is\_Yes in Urnu-Arrak. These terms were agreed to in the 2nd Treaty of Tlahatl. The Bardonians followed the Pillagers to The Last Bastion, but could not penetrate the walls of the castle.

The next day, Dalatra was temporarily banned for real life money dealings regarding the server, so Gray\_Is\_Yes was made into the regent of Yimmu-Audal.

On November 22nd, Trillium and YA declared war on the Last Bastion, and in response, Dex-OG and ViewedMarquis blew it up.

November 23rd saw the war take place, and it was a 10v2 invasion of the castle. The Trillium fighters easily breached the Bastion, now demolished, and held it for 1 hour and 30 minutes before calling off most of it's defenders. During the siege, TheRealJay2 block glitched into Bardonia and managed to steal a large amount of gear through exploits, while Dexter Og rapidly ran into The Trillium Alliance feeding them kills for their victory. After the initial siege, Dexter OG, ViewedMarquis, and TheRealJay2 returned to the Bastion and fought the few remaining defenders in the stolen Bardonian gear, winning and obtaining more gear. The Pillagers then declared that they won the battle, though this was proven different as the numbers were in The Trillium's favor and The Trillium's end goal of returning the Bastion to Yimmu had been accomplished in the aftermath. The Pillagers decided to make the defeated Last Bastion into a museum the day following this battle.

The result of the Dalatran Civil War saw Yimmu-Audal reunited with significant Bardonian help, though at a cost of the Bardonian's gear being stolen by the Supreme Military Commander of YA, TheRealJay2. The Social Audal Union became the incorporated Union of Anoshphey Commonwealths Audalad Autonomy, and the Last Bastion was questionably a part of Yimmu-Audal for the next few weeks, until it was generally accepted to be within YA territory. Still, though, this saw Yimmu-Audal's territorial integrity threatened and weakened overall, and the events here greatly contributed to the climate that would give rise to the Usurpation of Yimmu Audal and eventually the Coalition-Trillium War.
