Second Fawl Liberation War

The First Fawl Liberation war was erupt, bloody, and ultimately a failure; and lead to 426 years of the very few remaining Fawl scraping by in a sea of racism. The Fawl were not shy about breeding to save their species and reached nearly 10,000 true Fawl borns by the year EIV 70 (not counting the close to 50,000 who were ancestors of the children taken for the next generation of slaves). A 30% good portion of those Fawl joined their tougher war like ancestors in Bordril, no longer wishing to be pacifists. 50% are living in the jungle, trying to establish their ancestral tribes , the remaining 20% were scattered across the world. But considering 50,000 were still slaves or “servants that could never leave” 83% of Fawl were still captives on their own continent. The free tribes re enforced by Bordril created a confederation called The Prism Antlers. al’Burlia Vichad Khatibi The 18th already had intenions of conquering Bordril and Lordios, the Sultan either through pressure or the result of incest, was slowly growing mad. The Sultan gained the throne when he was still an infant, but even as a child was blood thirsty sending men and women to their deaths even for the smallest of crimes. The confederation marched their able men and women to the northern border of Khati’hardt hoping to slip through the mountains and free their Fawl brothers and sisters. The Sultan marched 500,000 men to the boarders with thousands of Fawl starting to uprise throughout Khati’hardt knowing that the Confederation was on its way. Nestled in the mountains of Kadee were 5,000 Fawl , 17,000 half fawl, and 200,000 Bordril soldiers. With the uprising an additional 25,000 Fawl rebels and 20,000 mixed race militia sympathetic to the caused marched behind the Sultan’s forces. Battle did not spark, but the Sultan’s forces were waiting for the Confederations 3 months of supplies to run dry as they had Lordios mercenaries harass their supply lines leaving the ultimately stranded in the mountains. When the rebels caught up to the northern border, hoping to get through Bell Pass and swing around to re enforce the confederations , they were met with the bulk of the Sultans men on either side of the pass. It was a slaughter with the Sultan loosing 5 men and not a single rebel was left standing. Each man woman and child were decapitated and under the sultans orders was catapulted into the mountains causing it to rain heads down on the confederation. General Jav Deflir who was tasked with training marines in Sala knew that if The Confederation lost al’Burlia would march his army to Lordios and Bordril, this would be a waste of countless Kalimdar lives and Khati’hardt’s strength come from its northern boarder being the Kadee Mountains , anything more is being stretched too thin. This is the reason Lordios and Bordril are always in conflict but neither goes after Khati’hardt. General Deflir took 150,000 Salaian marines loyal to him and 1,500 ships and sailed into Kalimdar. Deflir was well respected and the retainers of 50,000 men in Kalimdar put up zero fight. General Deflir marched into Spuco Ol Foo , beheaded al'Burlia Vichad Khatibi the 18th and claimed the throne for himself.

He gave Bordril territory south of Burlim Niva to the west that they once ruled anyways; the purpose of this was to have the 200,000 bordril soldiers to return home. Sultan Deflir abolished slavery, and granted the Fawl the land between Bordril and Lordios (normally a nomans land constantly in conflict) as a new sanctuary for them. This ended the Second Fawl Liberation War almost as quickly as it began. Bordril regaining old territory happily agreed, while Lordios who relied on slavery was not as thrilled. Sultan Deflir pushed the Khati’hardt northern border about 70 miles north, and that was intimidation enough to pacify Lordios. Not being able to abolish slavery in any nations, Sultan Deflir did announce  that Khati’hardt would go to war with any nation that commits genocide again. However, many citizens were loyal to the old ways, hundreds of Fawl slave owners slaughtered their slaves in protest and fled the nation. 100,000 Soildiers loyal to the Khatibi ran through the jungle sacking and raping Fawl villages. It wasn’t until EIV 87 that Sultan Deflir could muster enough men to squash these loyalists. Sultan Deflir in one of his weaker moments killed al'Burlia Vichad Khatibi the 18th’s wife to intimidate the loyalists, he showed mercy for the two sons and a daughter. The eldest son is Shaffir Vicrex Khatihardtlu Kalimdir Khatibi , was banished to Mosa never heard from again. The youngest son was Balgore Khatibi, he was a jokester as a kid, palace idiot as a teen, and an oaf as an adult. Sultan Deflir kept him alive in exchange for his support that appeases many of the loyalists. The daughter Julina Nes Khatibi fate and whereabouts are unknown. Sultan Jav Deflir has brought peace to Nor’hardt and more importantly created an environment where the Fawl can reconstruct their culture and customs while living free.

**~ EIV 98**

 **I am writing in this first edition copy to update on the events after the war. Shaffir is presumed dead, Julina is presumed dead, and Balgore is a puppet. However he is a puppet who produced the next heir to the Khatibi bloodline and it has not gone unnoticed. Sultan Deflir himself has had 3 children, but only one son named Jav Deflir II. Deflir had kids with his sister Lyvin in the hopes of starting a Dynasty. With the passing Decades Deflir has fallen into the same traps as his predecessors.  I have a source in the Spice Barons who says that Deflir is planning to assault both Bordril and Lordios before his time in the mortal realm is up. The state of the nation is fractured, crime is revving up with corruption amongst civic officials and guards, each city is acting more and more like city states falling loyal to either the Deflir’s to Khatibi’s lineage. The sultan has succesfully stopped genocide, however slavery still exists in the shadows, with criminals transporting slaves from Senios to Lordios. Khati’hardt’s solidarity is fractured, and a war between nations would most likely spark a civil war. The issue boils down to Sultan Deflir’s elaborate parties and spending of the treasury. I believe he doesn’t wish to have increased crime, but with palace funds running dry , there is less law enforcement. He’s being highly criticised for not making Khati’hardts people (humans) his first priority. This has generated a lot of support for the old Khatibi regime. Only thing preventing civil war is even the loyalist refuse Balgore as an heir. Shaffir is presumed dead, but he is the Sultan the loyalists want, he has an education in Senios and doesn’t share his fathers views of racism and slavery, in his 20’s he was a war hero , and the only issue is today he’d be 64 years old if still alive. Not that 64 is too old to rule, but he’d have to spearhead a revolt to overtake Deflir, so it is unlikely even if he survived. The future is uncertain but I fear for the stability of all the nations of Nor’hardt.**
