Luria Nova/Ascendancy Era

Declaration

The Ascendancy Era began with Suzerain Emperor Bruce Wilde. By changing the realm name, he officially ended the imperial era which somewhat ended with Ciarghuala Dubhaine.

War with Astrum

Soon after changing the realm name, Bruce declared war on the Theocracy of Astrum with the following reasons and demands.

The Ascendancy of Eternal Luria Nova declares war on the Theocracy of Astrum for the following reasons:
1) Astrum's Lord Nikulus Erickson, who is a council member of the Sanguis Astroism, has excommunicated two of Luria Nova's members from the Faith of Sanguis Astroism.
2) Astrum's Lord Nikulus Erickson has mocked the retrieved sacred pieces of the First Temple.
3) Former Vasilief Xaphen Poe’s unwarranted defamation of Imperial Marshal Wassgandr Felsenbach. While Lord Xaphen is not present, he represented Astrum and Astrum will have to answer for his deeds.
4) Having Astrumite nobles openly tarnish the reputation of Lurian nobility, referring to them as “leftover nobles”.
5) In hope to clear out all past grievances and reset the relationship so that a new, hopefully more amiable, relationship can take place.

Luria Nova demands the following from Astrum:
1) Statues of Bruce Wilde, Wassgandr Felsenbach and Elias Calder will be built across Astrum to commemorate Luria Nova's victory over Astrum. With each statue describing the greatness of each Lurian demanded above. With every statue having 
Nikulus Erickson, who is one of the reasons for the war, being stepped/sat on.
2) Astrum demolishes three recruitment centers that Luria Nova chooses.
3) To have the Sanguis Astroism excommunications placed on Lurian nobles lifted.
4)  The Theocracy of Astrum will pay the Ascendancy of Eternal Luria Nova 50 (FIFTY) gold in war reparations - OR - provide Suzerain Emperor Bruce Wilde with a ornate hood ornament for his carriage, befitting of his station.

Upon sending the war declaration, the Wrath, the army of the Ascendancy, invaded Astrum from south. When the invasion began, Astrum's ruler Jorn Aginharu quickly ran which left Astrum in disarray.

In less than a week, the Wrath besieged Freke, the capital of Astrum. The city fell quickly and the army spent few days to refit before marching again. Once their capital fell, Astrum retreated to Mimer which was their old capital. Once Astrum elected their new ruler, Ramon de Santis, both realms began the peace talk. However, it did not last more than a couple days as Astrumites wanted to fight to the end.

The Theocracy responded by using the Church of Sanguis Astroism's influence to declare a crusade(called by Nikulas Erickson) against the Ascendancy. However, only two priests joined the crusade with only one of them actually landing in the shores of Luria. The crusade failed quickly and Katrina Dragul, the head of the Church, contacted Bruce to convince him to drop the first reason for war which Bruce accepted. With the Church out of the war, the army of the Ascendancy headed west to put pressure on Astrum again.

After successfully taking Well of Mimer, the Wrath spent a week preparing their assault for Mimer. Originally, the Wrath was going to destroy Astrum's mobile force few times before heading back but with a quick suggestion from Oiron Camlann, a relative of Stratarch Medrawt Camlann of Tol Goldora, they decided to besiege yet another capital of Astrum.

But before the Wrath was ready to march, Astrumites attacked Well of Mimer first where they got slaughtered. Bruce himself arrived a couple turns prior which the idea of sieging Mimer very tempting. When Bruce struck down Astrumite nobles with his magic, the Wrath began their march against Mimer. After two battles, the city fell and the Wrath began their take over. Astrumites tried to break the take over but they ultimately failed. Upon recovering from his wounds, Ramon de Santis contacted Bruce and surrendered.

War with Westgard

At the end of Bruce's reign, Westgard declare war on the Ascendancy. It was due to Seifer Tideweaver's multiple attempts at high ranking members of Westgard. After failing to execute him five times, they decided to declare war.

Westgard's demands:
1. Banishment of Seifer Tideweaver
2. An international treaty governing the behaviour of infiltrators toward foreign governments is drafted and signed
3. 5,000 gold

Luria Nova's demands:
