Great Morstaybishlia: Difference between revisions

====Posolic Wars====

=====First war (1795-1810)=====

Vakhudan seized power over Baykalia in the July 1795 Coup during the Era of Uncertainty and immediately set out in the nation's establishment on the world stage as the Baykalian Empire, a de facto military dictatorship with a strong bureaucracy and a well trained army. He quickly formed a coalition with the Ethalrian Empire, who was ruled by Queen Matilda IV and were bitter with the Morstaybishlian Empire for seizing the Marislian region over eighty years before.

 

The Zycannes acted as a large natural barrier between the north and centre of Aurora, and was generally an expensive deterrent for forces to cross except in some places, including Redmund’s Passage and Rorikin’s Passage. For that reason, fearing loss in the war from a largely overwhelming force of Morstaybishlian forces that were amassing in the Calthia region; the Grand Matriarchy focused on moving a portion of its forces to seize the main passageway through the Zycannes which previously aided King Redmund II in his conquests of Valeria in the 13th century. Morstaybishlia had its own forces in southern Staynes but the Ethalrians overwhelmed them back past the Boe Hills in the Sperran Desert. The Morstaybishlians eventually sent forces through Redmund’s Passage and fortified their southern territories with a curtain of forces defending strategic ridges, valleys and other choke points that made the border with Ethalria.
