The Invasion of the Three Nations

**The Invasion of the Three Nations** was the invasion of Xelon, Delcrana, and Scape by the newly reunified Kingdom of Kobonium. The invasion was masterminded by then Lord Sentry Venden and involved tricking the Kingdom of Xelon, Delcrana, and Scape into fighting each other.

## The Plan

A traveling adventurer from Delcrana named Nigel Thomas arrived in Kobonium in 1956. He was quite the scoundrel and was promptly arrested. Venden heard of the news and hatched a plan. He had wanted to bring the island chain nations to the south under Kobonium control for quite some time but the Delcranian navy would put up quite the fight. Even though the Kobonium Navy was shaping up quite well he did not want to risk it. Delcrana was well known for it's highly racist policies against non-elves. Many Koboniums wanted to see this end. Delcrana and Xelon had a fragile peace with proxy wars happening on smaller islands outside these nations. Venden believed they could easily be goaded into war. He planned to use a disguised Koll as Nigel Thomas. Then from there they would attack a Xelon island along with attacking some Xelon ships. He hoped this would be enough to cause war. Then the Kobonium Navy would wait out the war and then surprise attack the weakened nations.

## The Attack of Nif

The disguised Nigel Thomas managed to convince his small fleet of ships to attack the island of Nif. The island was part of The Outlands, an island chain under Xelonian rule but chaotic and poorly equipped. Once the fleet arrived in 1958 they fired upon the human city of Grundleburg along with allowing the troops to raid and pillage the city. From there they went on to attack the elven city of Elvenglenn along with setting fire to the forests. Then they fled out of the kingdom and waited to engage the Xelon navy. They did so and the Xelonian navy destroyed much of their fleet. The Sentinels then made it to Delcrana.

## Convincing Delcrana to War

Xelon decided not to retaliate further on the premonitions of their Brassimir Solvess and first hand accounts of some survivors of the attack. The survivors included Terrorwine, Paul of Narsis, Q-Bits, and Steve (Yuki). These four would play an important part in the invasion. Because of the resistance to further retaliate Venden decided to go to the Delcrana government and let Koll convince them as Nigel Thomas who was a member of The House of Lords.

## The Survivors of Nif

The four survivors of Nif were tasked by the King of Xelon, Polon Canto, to infiltrate and spy on Delcrana. On the way they were attacked by a defensive Delcranian Kraken and their ship captained by Thaddius Velox. Eventually they made it onto a small island but little did they know they were being tracked by Barbarossa. He then attacked the group however an amulet Q-Bits had teleported them away from danger into Scape. The amulet along with Q-Bits had disappeared leaving the survivors on Cryoscape. They were saved by two inhabitants of the island, Cactus and Cloudy. Eventually they met back up with Captain Velox and infiltrated the capital of Delcrana, Nilanto. They were recruited by the pacifist members of the government to testify about the attack on Nif. The speeches caused the vote for war to fail.

## The Assassination Framing

With Venden's plan falling apart he then hired doppelgangers to disguise themselves as the survivors and murder some of the pacifists. He also tasked Barbarossa with finishing off the survivors. Barbarossa almost killed them all but decided to spare them all while they laid bleeding to death. Nevertheless the assassinations happened and the group was framed. Koll, as Nigel Thomas, quickly passed a vote to go to war. The group helped by a local druid gained back their strength and then infiltrated the apartment of Nigel Thomas. In there they found a portal to The Great Library. Steve (now Yuki) disappeared into the library leaving the group behind to deal with the returned Koll and Barbarossa. The group managed to corner Koll back in his apartment. Koll destroyed the portal to prevent the group from traveling again to the library. The party then fought and killed him.

## The Xelon-Scape-Delcrana War

Even with Koll's death the war had already begun. Xelon and Scape allied with each other as Delcrana had the upper hand in terms of sheer number of ships. Delcrana overpowered Xelon due to it's weakened state. Many disputed islands started to fall and a ground war started to erupt on others with Scape providing much of the manpower. Once the Delcrana ships started to near Cantala, the Xelonian capital, the Kobonium Navy moved in and promptly destroyed the Delcranian navy.

## The Aftermath

The aftermath of the invasion was quite chaotic as the many corpses were great fuel for an underground necromancy ring. The necromancers then used the opportunity to strike causing The Necromancer Rebellion. During this time the recently conquered nations and Kobonium joined together to stop this. Cactus, Terrorwine, and Cloudy all became members of the Sentinels while Paul had disappeared. Terrorwine became Lord Sentry replacing Venden under the king's orders. Why this is is not entirely clear. Some say it is to further cooperation between the mainland and the island nations. There are other rumors that exist as well. During the rebellion Terrorwine was killed making Cactus take her place as Lord Sentry. Eventually the rebellion was subdued causing a new comradery between the recently conquered island nations and the mainland. The standard of living dramatically increased across the island nations in the coming years.
