The Clifford Kingdom (Fórthalézia) is a kingdom located in the Clifford Bay and the Chalk Cliffs of Southern New Mewni. It is known for it being the gate kingdom of the main river which allows access into the center of the New Mewni continent.

### History

During the Southern Seas War in 331 A.M. the Hundred Kingdoms of the Rainbow Isles supported by the Delphinidae Kingdom fought against Waterfolk Kingdom near the Chalk Cliffs, forcing the Clifford Kingdom to join the war to maintain its own sovereignty. The Clifford Kingdom would join with the Hundred Kingdoms of the Rainbow Isles. After 1 year of fighting in 332 A.M. after the Waterfolk Kingdom had suffered many defeats, though the Rainbow and Clifford alliance had taken heavy losses the Butterfly Queendom offered support to the Rainbow Isles and Clifford Kingdom ultimately defeating the Waterfolk Kingdom and forcing Waterfolk and Delphinidae to sign the Treaty Two for Two. The Clifford Kingdom would win the Southern Seas War.

During the Second Mewnian War the Clifford Kingdom declared neutrality, however 2 years into the war, after an incident in the Waterfolk Sea a Colossus Smith Automaton and vessels from the Fahrmann Kingdom, King Jamie Clifford II ordered attacks against Smith Kingdom and Florent Kingdom vessels in the South Sea, joining the Laurel Kingdom Alliance. 2 years later in 404 A.M. ships from the Mushroom Kingdom bombarded the Clifford Kingdom, killing Queen Crescenta Clifford, a member of the Butterfly Royal Family, of the Butterfly Queendom and cousin of Queen Helia Butterfly. In responce to this Helia Butterfly creates the Mewni Warriors to fight against the Mushroom forces in the Fahrmann Kingdom, driving them out. Smith troops after being defeat in the Hundred Kingdoms of the Rainbow Isles surrender before the Clifford and Waterfolk Kingdom on Purple Island. The Smith Kingdom then would suspend naval assault in the Clifford Bay. In 406 A.M. after the surrender of the Delphinidae Kingdom and the Mushroom Kingdom, the Second Mewnian War would end and the Clifford Kingdom would have won.
