Line 48:
Civilians from the Ethalrian towns were evacuated across the river as the soldiers dug in and reinforced their position. Another engagement between the armed forces lasted two months from December to January, where the fronts solidified gradually. Morstaybishlia held ceasefire talks in Sani Bursil on 6 March 1967 which established a new military controlled border which did not constitute a legally recognised international boundary, but served as the de facto border.
===Norogradian Revolution===
The [[Morstaybishlian Empire]]’s control over the Norogradian Principality weaned as nearly four decades of ethno-nationalist conflict primarily under Prime Minister [[Ian Crowcasa]]’s administration tarnished his opinion polls. It began in the 1940s where the Jilkania Revolutionary Front, a minor Noroist secession party led attacks against politically motivated targets and the Morstaybishlian government responded with its [[Royal Armed Forces of the Empire|armed forces]] and increased police liberties. Through the 50s and 60s, similar armed conflicts between seperatist groups and the state occurred, and anti imperialist sentiments spread throughout everyday life.
Though secret at the time, the largest underground Noroist resistance group, the Norogradian People’s Liberation Party (NPLP) led by Winston Ulysses held several meetings with representatives from Ethalria and [[East Cerdani]] which allowed them to begin smuggling arms and manufactured weapons, as well as giving them the resources needed to semi-covertly begin manufacturing their own weapon design by the end of the decade. Out of the public’s eye the NPLP accumulated a large array of handheld weaponry, gear, munitions and vehicle parts and stored these within warehouses and tradespeople businesses who were in league.
In the early hours of 31 December 1969 the Norogradian People’s Liberation Army (NPLA) bombed and immobilised major highways leading into Staynes and southern Staynes. The party rounded up non-loyal governors from each province, imprisoning or executing them. By 09:00 they had successfully secured the Morstaybishlian colonial government buildings in a coup d’etat. The Colonial defence force then entered a stage of disarray, in which pockets of forces loyal to the Morstaybishlian Empire continued fighting across the country for many days until all had either surrendered or been destroyed. It was during this time that the leader of the NPLA, Winston Ulysses, was killed by a lone wolf assassin from within the party ranks.

After a lull in the fighting was reached, vice-commandant Kiet Narvga was installed as the de facto leader, quickly establishing a provisional government and armed forces. He led a small campaign which saw the remaining Morstaybishlian national guard out of the former colony, and declared that [[Norograd]] was now an independent republic. At the time Norograd encompassed all of South West Aurora, and had began the rapid establishment of concrete land defences in the [[Molvian Corridor]] and flatlands on the [[Valerica|Valerican]] and southern Staynish borders.
On 1 January 1970, Morstaybishlia held an emergency meeting with its allies Salovia, Valerica and Kostoria-Obertonia; having already signed the Bursil Accords in 1968 which stated ‘’An attack on one is an attack on all’’, Prime Minister Ian Crowcasa declared that Narvga’s coup d’etat violated this and the nations agreed to intervene. Two days later, Kiet Narvga had flown to the Ethalrian capital and signed the Rivendale Pact alongside the host and Thorntonist Oscrelia, with intention to remove hard control of Morstaybishlia in the south and Salovia in the north.
