Archive of Balteuk Civil War Updates

The purpose of this page is solely to archive all past Balteuk Civil War messages. This page will be slowly updated as I refuse to archive it all in one go.

*With the king of Balteuk being slain in combat by @Mmewtwo , and no heir apparent, the land has fallen into chaos, with a 4 way civil war tearing through the land. While there was first hope for a peaceful resolution, brewing hatred towards human minorities and over extension of government focus has lead to beginning of the second civil war.*

***Empire of Amadrakon***

*Centered in the cave metropolis of Ivyrock, Amadrakon seeks to make Balteuk the center of its own policies. Their long term goals are independence from Azheb, independent monarchy, promoting freedom of religion, and making Balteuk’Peroj a land of draconics for draconics, kicking out in due time the racist humans who once oppressed them centuries ago.*

***Kingdom of Balurika***

*Centered in the jungle city of Aratka, and stretching across the hospitable north, Balurika's main goals are to further cement veretzian religion in the regions where it’s not currently prevalent, such as the south and west, while respecting minority groups. They seek to remain a part of Azheb, as a monarchy under a regency, until the 4 year old cousin of the old king comes of age.*

***Kingdom of Kalkutika***

*Based in the desert sands of Sar’ Dalian, and ruling over the southern badlands, this much more militarized state wishes to establish a brand new dynasty under own Torzikial Jarvil, and to reinstate the old, traditional religious beliefs nationwide through force. They have not stated if they would prefer membership in Azheb, or full independence*

***The Republic of Grotebia***

*The smallest of all the factions, and based out of the partially abandoned city also named Grotebia, they seek to establish a democratic system, although this freedom has lead to instability, with splintered government factions more focused on fighting for control of the fledgling republic than to fight the enemy.*
*Summary:*
*A new fort has been built, sponsored by Veretzia, in the kingdom of Balurika.*
*Kingdom of Kalkutika launched an invasion into Grotebia, seizing a small seaside plantation, while the leaders of Grotebia were busy arguing over the shape of their new government. While they have now finally formed an army, they didn't form it fast enough to defend this town.*
*While the Kalkutikan army was busy in the south, Balurika took its chance to seize the single roadway that connects the north and south, taking the defenders by surprise, and putting them in strike range of Sar'Dalian.*
*In the city of Parok' Pertso, a human majority city formerly owned by Amadrakon, launched a revolt against its anti-human occupiers, forcing the garrison into either route, or death. Unable to stay independent as a city-state, or prevent a counterattack on their own, they have invited in forces from the more moderate Balurika to help defend their city. Amadrakon requested military access through Norhunskig, preparing a force to launch an invasion of Grotebia before it could muster its forces, but was rejected, forcing it to find a new way to cross the river.*

*With the announcement by Norhunskig stating that forces will not be allowed in their lands, Amadrakon pulls its forces north, assuming its southern front is secure. However, Grotebia, having already received permission to send a scouting force through Norhunskig lands, decides to use that as a cover for a raiding party, sacking the southern coasts, and seizing the plantation town of Los Paneros. Amadrakon is outraged, pointing out the hypocrisy of Norhunskig refusing Amadrakon access through their lands, while allowing the Grotebian through. Kalkutika, surprisingly, sides with Amadrakon, calling on Norhunskig to follow its own words and consider Grotebian troops entering its lands as an act of war.*

*The Grotebian Republic defends its actions by claiming that they were given full permission to travel through Norhunskig lands, and also claiming that the scouting party was fired upon by an Amadrakon garrison, and only launched the raid to get revenge on those who had fired upon them with bows and crossbows from over the river.*
