Battle of Ashenwood

Location

The **Battle of Ashenwood**, also known as **Sealand's Rebellion**, was a counter-coup attempt by Fmr. President Sealand in the Greater Tempera Offensive, during the events of Operation Albion.

## Background

On November 14th 2019, the 1st Adorian Monarchy stood on death's doors. In a last ditch attempt to reform the monarchy before its dissolution King Memebrowser would make Royalist Party Leader Sealand his heir apparent. A longtime devoted monarchist, as RP Leader, Sealand would be one of the monarchy's largest advocates. Nevertheless the Kingdom of Adoria would be abolished just 2 days later.

Despite the abolition, Sealand's position as the last heir apparent would give him a strong pretender monarch claim as such he would declare his small bungalow home in New Haven, Ashenwood the official royal residence, quickly becoming a tourist attraction.

On January 7th 2020, Ashenwood and (East) Tempera would officially merge to form Greater Tempera. Though the decision was made with both provinces consenting, Sealand would be a strong opponent to the merger especially as he was a former governor of Ashenwood.

On January 31st 2020, Memebrowser would leave Adoria forever, further strengthening Sealand's claim to the throne.

And then ultimately on March 17th 2020, the tumultuous tension and dismay of the Second Republic would finally erupt into civil war in the historic events of Operation Albion.

## Battle

On March 17th 2020, Greater Tempera Governor Arno would mobilize the Temperan national guard in favor of the Ordo Aquilae, an action likewise performed by Eton and Soulth. Tempera would lay in Kookoo's safe monarchist stronghold throughout Operation Albion. This however would come with the price of many potential dissent individuals such as Sealand being captured and kept under arrest.

2 days later, on March 20th 2020, rumours would begin to circulate that an anti-monarchist rebellion would rise up within the Adorian Empire. The Monarchists would quickly coordinate for the arrested Sealand's transferal to an undisclosed location. As suspected a rebellion would spark in monarchist territory, however very underwhelming —*The Monarchists against Kookoo*, a minor organization ran by Sealand of monarchists opposed to the Ordo Aquilae's ideology and methods, would attempt to counter-coup the Imperial Monarchist administration in the former province of Ashenwood, located in Greater Tempera.

This would massively fail and Tempera would remain in firm Monarchist hands.

## Legacy

As the only republican uprising in monarchist territory during Operation Albion, the Battle of Ashenwood would do more bad than good for the Adorian Republican Army. Though at first glance showing the first dissensus of monarchist rule within the Adorian Empire, it's quick resolution and irrelevance would display the fierce tenacity of Monarchist resolve further increasing low morale in the Republican forces. Sealand would later be freed following Operation Albion's conclusion.

Interpretation of the events of the Battle of Ashenwood would vary with some believing it would not meet the parameters to truly be considered a battle and others speculating that the Imperial Temperan Guard and *Monarchists against Kookoo* were present in larger numbers, simply in lost history.
