New Daimon Overlord

Under unclear circumstances, daimoness Prudent had taken control of the Netherworld forces. Since then, daimon incursions didn't appear to attempt to destroy the human race any more, and mostly acted as any other human realm. Under her leadership, Netherworld forces adopted the policy of avoiding cities unless the realm had otherwise provoked them.

Crisis in Eastern Beluaterra, First purely human war

Avalon laid claim to the regions of Wudenkin, and made it clear it wished the region. Letters supposedly from Avalons ruler, that they planned to take Fwuvoghor and hence allow Fronen to reform in Vur Hagin reached RoF. The Republic of Fwuvoghor promptly declared war on Avalon, who cried foul, as daimons had attacked them. The lords of the regions of Norjke, Tey Gren, Zod, Sheja and Henhower joined RoF, complaining of corruption in the Avalonian council. Valhus too attacked Avalon, to protect their region of Wudenkin, which was claimed by Avalon. Enweil decided to join the war, attacking Valhus, and allowing Bara'Khur to take over the city of Wudenkin. Riombara, Irombrozia, and Kingdom of Alluran came to Avalons aid, but troops passing through Fwuvoghor were restricted to 2000 cs per half day. Duchess Gwen of Vur Hagin, sensing Avalons defeat, ceded her city to form Fronen. Avalon sued for peace, and Galvin of Avalon and Mordred of the Republic of Fwuvoghor signed a peace treaty. The episode strained Republic-Enweil relations, although Enweil acted as guarantors to this treaty:

• Borders stay as is.
• Rogue regions, first come, first serve.(First to run a successful TO has rights to the region.)
• Any switching region will be allowed choice.(both capitals excluded)

The Republic doubled in size, and the Plergothian exiles in the Republic banded together to form Hetland in Creasur.

Re-creation of Fronen

Created through the friendly secession of Vur Hagin from Avalon during daimonic occupation of the host realm, Cyrus Hyrion quickly rose to rulership. He is one of the oldest remaining people that was in the old Fronen, and his family held dukeships in the realm during its brighter days.

Destruction of Vlaanderen

The realms of Mesh, Heen, and Sint destroyed the realm of Vlaanderen. Mesh took Bajit and Cwellndell and raided the regions south of Reeds until they went rogue. Meanwhile, Heen took over Naraka. Heen together with their federated partner Sint also raided Ren Madragas and Zisswii. Zisswii went rogue while Ren Madragas was held by Sint for a time before it also went rogue. The city of Reeds, unable to feed itself began starving. Heen and Sint forces marched into Reeds as the city spiraled into anarchy. In the aftermath, Heen started a takeover. In response to the takeover, Mesh lowered relations with Heen to peace. War however did not erupt between the two realms over Reeds.

Grehkian Conflicts

Roughly simultaneous to the wars in the south, these Grehkian Conflicts all revolved around Grehkian nobles' interactions with foreigners.

Neo Grehk Secession

For some time, Sint and Neo Grehk had warred Old Grehk intensely, reducing it to a few regions and besieging the capital on multiple occasions.

Fronen's Involvement

When the area settled down, Fronen arrived, declaring war on Neo Grehk and starting takeovers, acquiring Yipinalke. Old Grehk did not want Fronen to expand north, and a three-way war began. Eventually Neo Grehk was merged back into Old Grehk, with Neo Grehk's leadership eventually replacing Old Grehk's leaders, who had failed to gain their realm significant support. Relations with Sint improved. When Old Grehk could not stop Fronen's forces and refused to accept Fronen keeping Yipinalke, a key path to the city of Vore which Fronen had taken from the rogues, Thalmarkin stepped in to aid them. Even with support from Thalmarkin they could not push Fronen out. In a controversial move, Sint then attacked with Old Grehk troops, but they too were defeated and the city of Vozzessdor was quickly besieged. The consequences of these events have yet to fully manifest.

Southern Wars Resume

The wars in the south were a continuation from previous ages and simultaneous to the Grehkian Conflicts.

Partition of Republic of Fwuvoghor

Fwuvoghor had earned almost a year of relative internal stability since Mordred Lefanis took over and reformed the realm to a republic, separating it from its rebellion-prone nature while a monarchy. However, he had also made multiple enemies abroad, especially in Enweil, where the rebel from Fwuvoghor, Machiavel Chenier had made his home. (Full documentation can be found here). The religion of the Blood Cult was banned from the Republic, and a state of war existed between the Republic and the Cult. A referendum was held in Enweil on what to do next. (Referendum) They chose to attack the Republic. Avalon decided to dissolve the treaty with the Republic, and Enweil abandoned its role as guarantor, siding with Avalon. War seemed imminent, and Avalon attacked the Republic. Hetland joined the war on the Republic's side. Enweil marched into the city of Fwuvoghor, declaring war after entering the walls. Fwuvoghor soon fell, with Riombaran reinforcements being slaughtered. Hetland left the war after suffering great losses, including the death of its general on the field. Zod was besieged by Avalon, and the Republic fell, with the loss of its final region. Riombara chose to continue the war with Enweil. The destruction of the Republic and the policy of Enweil served as a catalyst to trigger one of Beluaterra's largest wars.

The Second Great War

With Kingdom of Alluran first blocking passage to Enweil and giving a logistical advantage to Riombara, the battles were few and damages small. But, with Avalon's support, Enweil simply overpowered their foe. When Irombrozia elected a leader who was ignorant of his realm's past and origins, he asked about the reasons for Riombara's war with them. Delvin explained it, using some rather injudicious language. Feeling threatened and angered at this, Irombrozia declared war Riombara and sided with Enweil, at which time Kingdom of Alluran declared war on Enweil. No longer having a diplomatic barrier, Enweilian forces now enjoyed the quicker southern route, and there was little Riombara could do to stop the allied forces. At length, with Riombara on the brink of destruction, other realms began to awaken to the inherent injustice of the situation and joined the war against Enweil. Enweil withdrew from the South-Eastern scene as the realms of Mesh, Hetland, Heen, and Sint declared war on them.
