Irombrozia/War of Secession

• This document is a historical and unbiased accounting of the campaigns, battles, and events of the Irombrozia vs. Riombara war, AKA, by Irombrozians, as the War of Irombrozian Secession.
• This document is very much the sequel to a previous document, the Chronicles of the Honor War.

Pre-War Events

• The Honor War.
• Riombara allies with the Kingdom of Alluran. The Kingdom of Alluran lowers relations with Irombrozia to neutral. Irombrozia allies with Luz de Bia.
• It is alleged that Irombrozia's ruler, King Marc, offers to re-unify Riombara and Irombrozia into one nation by terms of a duel to the death between himself and Riombara's ruler (Delvin). Winner take all.
• Negotiations break down.

Declaration

• Irombrozia declares war on Riombara at night on December 14. The reasons stated are insults given by Riombara to Irombrozia, refusal to negotiate fair terms, refusal to follow through in giving back Rii, and to finish the Civil War.

First Campaign

• AKA- The Pre-Emptive Strike

Invasion and TO of Rii

• On December 13, 4k Irombrozian troops arrived in Rii, and they began a hostile TO after the declaration of war on the 14th of December. Unlike in the Honor War, Irombrozia refrained from looting.

First Battle of Rii

• On December 16th, 7k Riombaran forces attack just under 5k Irombrozian forces in Rii. They are victorious, decimating Irombrozia's army, while not sustaining severe casualties themselves.
• Irombrozian forces begin to limp back to Irombro

Winter Break

• Over the deep winter weeks, heavy rains arrived and turned the roads to slush, and most nobles stayed inside by the warm fire, and had much-needed family time. (OOC- Christmas inactivity)

Second Campaign

• AKA- "still pending"

Invasion and TO of Rii

• On December 28, 4,8k of Irombrozian troops invade Rii, and begin a hostile TO. Again, there is no looting.
• On December 30, the TO is broken when Irombrozia's 5.4k troops are defeated by 6.3k of Riombaran troops. Irombrozia falls back to Irombro and refits.

Hinterland Campaign

• A sub campaign of the Second Campaign.
• On January 2, 2.4k of Irombrozian forces enter Ruefillo.
• Later in the day, they move to Rii, while another 2k Irombrozian forces eneter Ruefillo.
• January 4th, Irombrozian forces mostly pull back to Irombro as 4k Riombaran forces arrive in Rii (defeating a small straggler detachment of about 600-700 CS), and about 2.5k arrive in Rii (defeating a small straggler detachment of about 300-500 CS)

News from the North

• January 1, news arrives that Hireshmont, King of Irombrozia, is marrying Retravic, Prime Minister and Grand Justiciar of the Republic of Fwuvoghor.
• January 5, news arrives that RoF is closing it's borders to allies of Riombara.

Aftermath

• Irombrozia gained very little, and didn't really hurt Riombara much. As such, the direct aftermath of the campaign was... almost nothing. Things stand as they did at the beginning. But, the ramifications of the wedding, and of RoF's closed borders policy, are very great, and will probably be seen more in future weeks and months.

Chaos

• Due to chaos of nature (OOC- coding changes) no actions were taken for a few days around January 10 to 13th. (OOC- An OOC ceasefire)

Third Campaign

• AKA- The Amalgamation Campaign
• the exact details of this campaign are lost to history. Many small expeditions were launched into Riombara. Small attacks and raids, usually swiftly crushed by Riombara. Their goal was usually to serve as a distraction to Rio, or to take out small Rio detachments.

Aftermath

• Very little. This campaign was a series of small campaigns, none of which had much lasting effect on the war.

Fourth Campaign

• AKA- "Still pending"

Invasion of Rii

• January 21, 1007, the RIM enters Rii and begins a TO as Riombaran forces retreat in the face of some 18-21k Enweil/LdB forces in Glongin.
