Axdel: Difference between revisions

(Eventually Morstaybishlia takes vast amounts of the North coast, and as they begin incursions into other parts of the empire much of Kormistazm rapidly capitulates as those with the elitemeans to do so flee to Arcturia)

Shortly before the Surrender of the mainland, the Arcturia territories of Kormistazm declared themselves to be a separate empire under the rule of former General Ñazj al-Qiirua. Originally from [[Muštamarah]], Ñazj had lead a successful campaign to take over much of Morstaybishlia's Arcturian colonies during the war and was very popular amongst colonists and the fleeing elite. As the mainland capitulated he assumed total control as Lousquarii emperor as well as assuming protectorateshipprotectorship over his homeland as a show of good will. Several cities on the South West tip of the mainland and the surrounding land were also incorporated into the empire in an attempt to escape Morst occupation. Whilst stretching over vast swathes of coastal land, the new empire facedwas criticalcritically instabilityoverstretched from its founding asand numerous parts of the empire took advantage of the situation and revolted almost immediately. Ñazj was unwilling to spread his limited military capacity thinly in case of a naval invasion from Morstaybishlia, and thus several regions were granted freedom with little resistance, such as the region of [[Gratulto]] which became an independent duchy in 1576. Efforts were instead concentrated on quelling revolt in the well developed core territory and regions of significant strategic value.

In 1578 Ñazj met with a delegation from Morstaybishlia to formalise a peace declaration, as the two had not yet officially ended the state of war, as well as define what the borders of the new status quo would look like. Still maintaining a relatively strong navy, Ñazj only offered the Lousquarii holdings on the mainland and refused the Morsts demands for the return ofreturning their colonies,former possessions of [[New Kaltar|New Kaltaria]], Rodenia and Lokania. After failing to come to any kind of compromise, the Morst navy launched a surprise attack on Boscawen and clashed with the Lousquarii navy in the seas outside of the city. The Morstaybishlian's also landed on the far side of the island and rallied resistance against Lousquarii garrisons, successfully driving them from New Kaltar by 1580. This defeat came as a great surprise as the empire was believed to have held naval superiority in the area, and it cast a doubt on the emperor's ability to protect the Lousquarii core territory. Confidence in him begin to waver, especially amongst the members of the merchant class, most of which had only just fled the mainland and feared the possibility of a total Morstaybishlian occupation. However as Ñazj returned to Porto Idola from the lost battle he remained steadfast in his refusal of the Morst demands. Confidence in the emperor continued to decline, however, becoming critical in 1584 after the eastern regions of Rodenia fell to an uprising and became independent, after which Morstaybishlia re-established control. Ñazj was overthrown shortly afterwards, dying of hypothermia whilst imprisoned. He was succeeded by Lord Draughtsman Kayo Aurazzi, who acceded to Morstaybishlia's demands for their colonies in the Treaty of Porsloe in late 1585. After assuring peace, Kayo disestablished the imperial government and officially ended the Lousquarii empire. On the first of May 1586 he founded the republic of [[Quariin]] which flourished throughout the later centuries and remains independent to the present.

With the rise of [[Vakhudan Posol]] in the Biramuran Empire and its allegiance with The Queendom of Ethalria, war was declared against Morstaybishlia in 1795. Axdelia was subject to a moderate draft in order to provide soldiers for the war effort, but despite their numerical advantage over the coalition, Morstaybishlia suffered several catastrophic defeats during the invasion of [[Marislia]], completely losing the territory to Ethalria and leaving Biramura free to explosively expand southwards. Expecting further attacks from Ethalria, another larger draft was called upon Axdelia only a year later in 1796 which incited a wave of unrest from the populace, surprising the empire's government which had grown used to Axdelian passivity in the past century. As the war dragged on, killing many Axdelian soldiers sent to fight on the front lines, discontent grew rapidly in many of the regions cities, fuelled by radical republicans who called for the overthrow of imperial rule. The first uprising would come in Baronhali during late 1797, being quickly quashed after the local garrison was reinforced by navy seamen docked in the Lyr estuary. Several other minor revolts would also fail, however on the 4th of May 1798 the Andel Imperial garrison guards led a popular uprising against the local government, successfully seizing the capital and several warships in the docks. Declaring a republican government, the new leadership called for other regions across Axdel to rise against imperial rule, as well as rallying nearby population centers under their banner. Several other regions would gain independence through similar uprisings, with notably powerful examples being Jilkania in the south, and the city of Nalsekanii in central Lyrevale.
