On July 24, 2020, the Prätorianer assassinated the entire ruling council of Neu Arkia. Backed by the Prätorianer, Field Marshal Julius Augustus Karling seized control of the country and declared himself king of the newly proclaimed state of Karolingia.
While the coup was well received within Karolingia, whose populace had languished under the kleptocratic government of Neu Arkia, international opinion was rather more mixed. Mere hours after the coup, Tretridian Prime Minister Eoforwine Æthelstanson formally recognized Karolingia as the legitimate successor state to Neu Arkia, and renewed the Tretridian alliance with the state. The Prime Minister promised to cede Schlesia, which still lay under Tretridian military administration, to Karolingia once the state consolidated. The [[League of Novaris]] was also quick to recognize Karolingia, determining that, as the successor state to Neu Arkia, they would hold the formerly Neu Arkian seat in the Novaran Council.
On the other hand, Arkalarius denounced Karling as a "dangerous revolutionary," and sent soldiers to the border between Arkalarius and Karolingia. Furthermore, Arkalarius laid claim to lakes on the Arkian-Karolingian border. Almost immediately, allegations that Arkian soldiers had been sent into Karolingian territory cropped up. Karling placed the army on alert in response, though Arkalarius stringently denied these claims.
