History

Founding

Duke Hamilton Vita had grown disastisfied with Ohnar West due to its continued incompetence and random attacks upon his person and other innocent nobles, but when Letters against noble blood were written, the last straw was broken.

A small realm that was created after Akanos joined Arcachon from Ohnar West on February 28, 2009, in response to a ban that had been placed upon Duke Hamilton Vita by Duke Balthazar Bathgate of Ozrat due to a letter that King Jenred Bedwyr of Arcaea had leaked to Prime Minister Cornelius II Hsieh. A few days later(March 2, 2009) the realm seceded and declared independance, whereupon Ohnar West immediately declared war upon the rebel state. Arcaea declared war, but soon ended the war, began better relations with Akadian League, and dropped relations with Ohnar West after King Jenred's confused state after his concussion in Isular wore off.

Akadian League had a very turbulent beginning. Due to being caught off guard by the ban, the military forces were not prepared. Due to having changed allegiance to a realm with a distant capital before the secession, the regions were in poor control with loyalty and morale being about 30% and only having provincial control. In addition, there was confusion with the secession that resulted in all the estates going idle(OOC: bug). There were early concerns of invasion by Arcachon and Arcaea. These were all resolved in due time.

Northern Purification War

Ohnar West moved quickly and took military occupation of Pesol and promptly began a takeover. Kayne II quickly attacked Larodais with his cavalry, winning the battle. The army rallied in Upasael and moved to Hosiel in a deceptive move. Winning the battle and wounding all three of the enemy nobles, including Prime Minister Cornelius II Hsieh and Count Iceberg Slim, Knight Dekion Flockhart began a takeover. Another skirmish occurred which Akadian League won as well and wounded another noble. Pesol converted to Ohnar West about this time and Duke Louis and his 140 men moved to Upasael and began a takeover.

Forces from Akanos and Hosiel moved to stop him in an attempted midnight(ooc: semi-late turn) move when scouts showed no one from Pesol moving to join him. Meanwhile, Hosiel's takeover was continued to be attempted Scouts later showed Duke Balthazar moving and the takeover attempt was scratched in place of stopping Upasael's takeover. Minister of Finance and Countess Anastasia Malitia showed up to assist Duke Louis and Duke Balthazar at the last moment. The battle was close, but the Akadian League won. The poor wind was attributed as a cause as the Akadian League was archer heavy and expected to do decent ranged damage before close combat. Duke Louis force was cut in about half however and Minister of Finance Anastasia Malitia was wounded. Ohnar West won the following skirmish as Akadian League retreated to Akanos.
